Benjamin Johnson was baptized April 18, 1705 in New Kent County, Virginia and died some time before May 28, 1754 when his will was recorded in Louisa County. The immigrant ancestor in the Johnson/Johnston line was James Johnston, merchant of Aberdeen, Scotland, born in 1651, who immigrated to Virginia in 1701. He patented land in King William County, Virginia in 1701. His second wife was Faith Leith, whom he married in 1686 in Scotland; however, the name of his first wife, the mother of his children, is not known.
