DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with William:
Scott-49678 and Scott-15345 appear to represent the same person because: same first name, middle name, last name, birth year/death year, birth location, death location

Col. James Johnston, one of the earliest patriots of "Tryon,"afterward Lincoln county, was born about the year 1742. His father,Henry Johnston, was of Scottish descent. Henry Johnston and his youthful wife settled on the western banks of the Catawba river. Tradition speaks of the wife of Henry Johnston as dying comparatively young, leaving two children--James, the immediate subject of this sketch, and Mary--who married Moses Scott, settled near Goshen Church, in the present county of Gaston, and there ended her days. Moses Scott had three children--James J., William and Abram Scott.
NOTE: Henry later married Catherine Knox, Mary married Moses Scott who was born much earlier than William Moses Scott
Letter written by Gilbert Johnston, the son of Gilbert and Caroline
" My grandfather John Johnston of Stapleton, officer in a Scottish regiment in French service, married Elizabeth, her father Gabriel Belcher, French Protestant. :Their children were -
1. John, he and only son died in North Britain. (Scotland)
2. Gabriel, Governor of North Carolina.
3. Gilbert my father.
4. Samuel lived in Onslow, N. Carolina.
5. Elizabeth married Thos. Keenan at our home Armagh.

Hugo took my men with Marion 1780. All horsemen. Francis Huger, and James often at my house. John Rutherford a tory.
Writ by my hand for Susana 8th day of March 1790
