Frederick Johnson was born in about 1755. He had been a Rutherford County, North Carolina resident for 31 years when he applied for a pension in 1821. This is mainly corroborated by his presence in the censuses of 1800, 1810, and 1820. The reported birthplaces of his children put his residency in North Carolina even earlier.
Frederick Johnson enlisted in the 2nd South Carolina Regiment commanded by Colonel William Moultrie on 4 November 1775. He was discharged on 8 July 1778 at Charleston, South Carolina, by Colonel Isaac Motte. He served under Captain William Mason and Captain John Blake and was present at the battle of Fort Moultrie.
Frederick Johnson married his wife Eda in 1783. Together, they had seven known children:
Willis was born in 1786 in North Carolina and married Martha Hollifield.
Jason was born in 1788 and married Nancy [surname unknown].
James was born in 1790 in North Carolina and married (1) Nancy Woodson and (2) Abigail Lucinda Lanham (née McDonald).
Lewis was born in 1793 in North Carolina and married Anna Blanton.
Enoch was born in 1799 and married Jane Holyfield.
Lese was born in 1801 and married James Walker.
Mary Milbe was born in 1809 in North Carolina and married Benjamin Pope.
Frederick applied for and received a pension of $8 per month under the 1818 act, beginning on 16 October 1821. After Frederick died on 15 May 1831, Eda applied for and received a widow’s pension of $80 per year under the 1838 act. Eda Johnson died on 28 September 1852, residing in Rutherford County.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
