Thomas Johnson's of Rowan N.C.

Thomas Johnson Sr. was probably born abt 1744, just where is unknown. His wife's name was Sarah, last name unknown. The first known record for our Thomas was in 1781 when he is reported as being a Private in a Loyalist Company commanded by Captain William Payne in District 96 of South Carolina. I would have to say that this is where his son (my ggggg grandfather) got his name from - William Payne Johnson. Thomas Johnson Sr. later owned a farm in Rowan Co, N.C., according to several depositions given for Sarah Johnson Stapleton in her husband's Thomas Stapleton's Rev War Pension file. This would be from about 1782/3 until the early 1790s when he relocated to Tenn.
Thomas Johnson Jr. b. 1771 traveled with his father from N.C. to TN & VA where they had several residences. The Johnson clan finally made it into Ky in 1808 where they are found on the Knox Co Ky tax list. In 1816 the Johnsons made the move into the Long Fork area of Pike Co Ky. Thomas Johnson Jr stayed there until his father's death in 1828 and then he moved to Missouri for a short time. He came back to Ky in the early 1830s and settled in Breathitt Co Ky where he spent his remaining years.
