Born in Highland Township, the son of Samuel & Hester "Hetty" (Kugler) Johns, in 1860 he was a shoemaker living in Cumberland Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania, although the census also shows him working for farmer Augustus Hertzel in Hamilton Township, Adams County. He stood 5' 8" tall and had brown hair and blue eyes. He married Lucetta Haldeman September 11, 1860, and fathered William Henry (b. 05/13/61), George Washington (b. 11/19/65), Martha B. "Mattie" (11/03/71 - married a Howard), Charles Kerr (04/09/77), and Anna Margaret (10/06/80).
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted and mustered into federal service at Chambersburg March 17, 1865, as a private with Co. K, 87th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company June 29, 1865.
He attended the Pennsylvania Monument dedicatory ceremony at the Monocacy battlefield in 1908 even though he was not yet a member of the regiment at the time of the battle. He retired from a life of farming. His obituary confuses his military service with George W. Johns, who served with Co. E, 87th Pennsylvania Infantry.
