Biography

Benjamin was born about 1820 in South Carolina. Benjamin Johnson was likely the son of Elizabeth (surname unknown) and an as yet unidentified father. Elizabeth Johnson, born 1777 in South Carolina, is a resident in Benjamin's home in both 1850 ^{[1] [2]} and 1860. ^[3] He married Elizabeth Grisham (or Gresham), in 1845. He appears to have died sometime before the federal census was conducted in 1870 at which time his wife appears alone with their children. ^[4]
