Sir:

I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension
claim S. 2661, it appears that William Johnson was born November 5,
1761 in Chesterfield County, Virginia.

While a resident of Brunswick County, Virginia, he served from May
1779 (as substitute for his father, whose name is not stated), seven
weeks as a private in Captain Thomas Claiborn's Company, Colonel
Judkins' Virginia Regiment; he enlisted in January 1781 and served
three months as Second Sergeant in Captain William Macklin's Company,
Colonel Watson's Virginia Regiment; and served six weeks as Orderly
Sergeant in Captain Peter Jones' Company, Colonel St. George Tucker's
Virginia Regiment, and was at the battle of Jamestown, and was 
discharged July 10, 1781.

Shortly after this he moved to Montgomery County, North Carolina, and
served one month as a Lieutenant in Captain John Randle's Company,
Colonel Thomas Wade's North Carolina Regiment, as was in an engagement
with the Tories, September 1, 1781; and was Adjutant to Colonel William
Lofton's Regiment until the last of December.

He was allowed pension on his application executed October 14, 1832, 
while a resident of Sneedsborough, Anson County, North Carolina.

There is no data on file as to wife and children.

                                    Respectfully,

                                    Winfield Scott
