David Johnson (c1825) and Sarah Bryant of Marion Co, SCI (Marty Grant) am a 3rd Great Grand Nephew of David Johnson. David Johnson was born ca 1824/25 in Marion Dist, SC, probably in what is now Moody Township in the Temperance Hill vicinity. He is a proven son of Benjamin Johnson and Mary ---. David was named in the 1832 estate division of Benjamin Johnson. David's father Benjamin Johnson died ca 1826/1830 in Marion Dist, SC. His estate was divided on 2 Apr 1832, and David Johnson was named among the heirs. The land involved was too small to be divided, so it was sold, and the money divided among the heirs. (Marion Co, SC Ordinary's Real Estate Book 1826-1843 pg 54, as published in the Pee Dee Queue) W.W. Sellers mentioned David Johnson in his book A History of Marion County, South Carolina by W.W. Sellers, Esq. 1902, but didn't give very much information, but is interesting, none the less.
David Johnson married Sarah Bryant sometime before 1850 in Marion Dist, SC. She was a daughter of John M. Bryant and Jane Drew (Per Sellers, page 198). David Johnson and family were listed on the 1850 census in Marion District, SC. He was listed next door to his brother Asa Johnson, and they seemed to be in the Reaves Township area. Sarah's brother Solomon Bryant was residing with them.

I don't have that listing typed up yet, but will get it soon. David Johnson died on 6 Dec 1894 (per Simeon Campbell, page 43). I have his wife Sarah's death date as 8 Apr 1931, making her over 100 years old when she died. I'm not sure what the source of that date is. ChildrenDavid Johnson and Sarah Bryant had 10 children, proven by the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census records. I have birth and death dates for many of them, but I'm not sure of my sources for those, I'll have to dig through my old notes to find out. I'm sure they were shared with me by someone, though I may have gotten some of them from the cemetery records. I'll provide a detailed outline of David and Sarah's children later on.
