Notes:

In an article in the William and Mary College Quarterly Historical
Magazine of April, 1922, relative to the acceptance by Fairfax County,
VA, of a portrait of George JOHNSTON to hang in the courthouse, the
statement is made concerning JOHNSTON "In the deed books are conveyances
of land with which he was connected. The will books contain his last
will and testament, written in 1766 within a few months of his
death....the will books also contain the inventory of his estate..."

Sara Ann JOHNSTON, daughter of George JOHNSTON and Sara McCARTY, married
to Robert Hanson HARRISON (Sara was stepdaughter to mother Sarah McCarty)

CAPTAIN GEORGE JOHNSTON purchased 100 acres from Nathaniel Daugherty by 1743. (Tract 66, Map6) He received a Fairfax grant on 20 October 1750 for 552 acres on the south fork of Bullskin Branch of Shenandoah River. This land was part of a 850-acre survey for Jost Hite, who sold it to Lewis Thomas in 1738/39. Thomas then sold 425 acres to George Johnston. (Tract 90A, Map4) On 16 March 1752, George sold this tract to George Washington for 115 pounds. His wife Sarah released her right of dower to the 552 acres on 18 July 1752. This tract is located about 3/4 mile southeast of Summit Point, West Virginia with Jefferson County Highway 1 on the west end of the land.

George received another Fairfax grant on 1 April 1753 for 266 acres. This tract is located adjacent northeast of the 860-acre survey (Tract 66, Map6) on Kates Neadow Spring, a branch of Long marsh Run, which is north of U.S. Highway 340 at Gaylord, Clarke County, Virginia. As executors of his will, his wife Sarah and their son George sold Sarah's dower land (1/3 of 266 acres) to William Templeman for 75 pounds. On 11 December 1773, son George Johnston (attorny and heir-at-law, late of Alexandria, Virginia) sold the remaining two-thirds section to Warner Washington for the payment of "just debts".

George received one other Fairfax grant in 1753 for 467 acres (surveyed by George Washington on 20 March 1750/51) located on Long Marsh run, adjacent land owned by George Smith, Ralph Wormley and John Cozine. this grant is located about 1 1/2 miles outh of Tract 135, with Clarke County, Virginia Highway 608 on the east and south. George and his wife Sarah sold the land (now recorded as 460 acres) to Robet Rutherford for 250 pounds after moving to Fairfax County, Virginia in 1752.

George Johnston was deceased by 19 June 1767 when his will (written 23 February 1766) was proved in Fairfax County, Virginia). The children listed in the will were George, Peggy Chattin and Mary Massey; other sons and daughters were mentioned but were not named. His pregnant wife Sarah, son George Johnston and Daniel McCarty were designated executors. Dennis McCarty's will (proved in Fairfax County, 18 May 1757) listed the names of William Johnston, Archibald Johnston, Hannah Johnston and Sarah Johnston; they were possibly other children of George and Sarah.

Historical References from John Howell:
Note from Knights Roster of Georgia Revolutionary Soldiers: "John Johnson - fought at the battle of Kettle Creek."
Notes from J Howell:
Notes from Wikipedia: The Battle of Kettle Creek was fought on February 4th, 1779, in Wilkes County near present day Washington, Georgia. It is one of the most important battles of the American Revolutionary War ot be fought in Georgia. The victory by the Patriots virtually ended the movement by the Loyalists to remain loyal to the Kingdom of Britain.

Extract from Revolutionary papers in the Georgia State Archives, Atlanta, Georgia:

"This is to certify that the bearer, Captain John Johnson of the first Battallion of Richmond County Militia of the State of Georgia, served as a reffugee and bore the rank of Captain, who took an active part in the fite & performed his duty of a good and faithful soldier. Given my hand at Pigeon Hill the 17th of march 1764 (A) Jas. McNeil, Colonel"

"To the Honorable President: Your petitioner, John Johnson, prays for land agreeable to the within Certificate and in Washington County (A) John Johnson"

Note from Lundie W. Barlow on above: "Washington County, Georgia, was established 25 February, 1784 from Indian lands; Greene County was established, 3 February, 1786 from Washington County, and included that territory which later became Hancock County."

LBSH chart notes:

"..a Rev. Soldier Hancock, Georgia between Sparta and White Plains."

From "History of Greene Co., GA":

p. 34 "When Greene Co. (GA) was first organized in February 1786 there were quite a number of settlers who had moved in, and secured land grants while theis territory belonged to Washington County, therefore, the names of Greene's earliest settlers do not appear on the following list."

The list mentioned above is called "Head Rights Granted to the Citizens of Greene County", begins p. 35, and shows name, acres granted and year granted. The Johnsons (relationship to this John Johnson unknown) that appear on the list are (cronological order):

William Johnson 150 acres Ogeechee River, 1787
William Johnson, 280 acres Ogeechee River, 1788 William Johnson, 50 acres, 1789
John Johnson, 72 acres, Beaverdam Creek, 1798

From Mary Jordan (RootsWeb, Greene Co. board):

"John Johnson served in the Revolutionary War and his widow received land in the land lottery."

"John Johnson's widow received a land grant for his service in the revolutionary war."

Lundie Barlow notes:

"Note from the minutes of White Plains Baptist Church: John Johnson and Elizabeth Johnson, charter members of this church, organized 1806, White Plains, Georgia."

"John Johnson, in his will dated 13 December 1814, bequeathed to his wife, Elizabeth Johnson, six negro slaves including Peter and Mariah."

"Note from page 174 of Houston's reprint of Eligiblees for the 1827 Land Lottery: Elizabeth Johnson, widow of a Revolutionary Soldier, Hancock County, Georgia" [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
