The information presented here is for James Johnson, son of Peter Johnson and Mary "Polly" Phillips Johnson. This James Johnson was most likely a Private from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The gravestone, attributed to this James Johnson, shows Lt. Col. James Johnston.
James Johnson, born near Pittsburg, Allegheny County, was a son of Peter Johnson and Mary "Polly" Phillips Johnson. He had six siblings.
James Johnson married Elizabeth Lindsey/Lindsay on October 13, 1782 near Madison, Jefferson, Indiana or October 30, 1783 in Pennsylvania. They had fourteen children.

Other possible birth years: 1750, 1754, 1756
Other possible death years: 1833, 1835
