Family lore gives the name as George or Paschal, but Thomas Johnson's death record gives the name of Henry. He lived on land in Fluvanna Co. now owned and occupied by Dallas Johnson, a descendant.

Supposedly the first Johnson settlers lived on Bremo plantation, later granted to the Cocke family by George III.
