Hi Mabel.On the 1850 Census of Dooly County, GA, James Johnston/Johnson (b. 1804) is living next door to Joshua Johnston/Johnson (b. 1813).
I have a copy of Joshua Johnson's obituary, and it says he was born in Sampson County, NC.
I suspect James Johnson is a brother to Joshua Johnson, so he was probably born in Sampson County, NC as well.
Note that, on the same 1850 Census of Dooly County, Solomon Johnson b. 1779 lived next door to James.I'm guessing that Solomon is the father of James and Joshua.
