Johnsons - Johnstons 
Welcome to the Johnson Family Club's "Famous and Notable Johnsons -- Johnstons" section of our Johnson Family History. This portion of our History section is intended to honor those Johnsons - Johnstons who have achieved a degree of fame as well as those who have earned our respect and admiration, whether that be on a national scale or just prominence in one community. For those of you who have often asked the question of whether you might be related to anyone famous -- or at least who share your same name, this site will help with some answers.
The most famous Johnsons have been in government service: two have served as President of the United States and one has served as Vice President. Several have been elected to the United States Congress as senators or representatives. Others have served as governors of several states and members of state legislatures and other elected offices.
In addition to politics, there are many Johnsons who have made their mark in the fields of entertainment such as motion pictures and television actors and actresses, writers, directors and producers.
Still other Johnsons have achieved prominence in education, the arts, journalism, sports, medicine, military service, religion and other endeavors.
If you have information on a Johnson - Johnston who became well-known (in any state), please send us a copy of it, along with any sources for the information (book, magazine, newspaper, etc.) to preserve in the Family Library.
