JOSEPH JOHNSTON
North Carolina Militia. B. Paxton Township, Lancaster Co., Pa. He moved abt 1772 at an early age to Randolph Co., NC. He enlisted "perhaps January", 1779 for three months service in the North Carolina Militia under Col. Collier and Col. Balfour. On 6 Nov 1832, Joseph Johnston, "aged 79 years, May 5th last," appeared before the County Court of Common Pleas, Randolph Co. and made affidavit to his Revolutionary War services in support of his pension application. (Pension File, W-5033). His affidavit includes the following statement in part:
"Because of the perilous condition of the country, it was deemed expedient to raise some troopers . . John Graham and I agreed to arm and equip ourselves as troopers, being informed by our commanding officers that if we would do so, two months' service as a trooper would be equivalent to three months' service on foot.
We were then placed under the command of Capt. Thomas Dougan who commanded a troop of light horse. Our first service consisted in bringing in some drafted Militia from the lower part of Randolph County who were suspected of being inclined to join the tories. We were employed in keeping down the Tories in the county of Randolph & adjacent counties, & our services were peculiarly dangerous and arduous, being subjected to be dispatched at the shortest notice on tory expeditions, in the most in- clement weather & and at all times and hours of the night. We however were not in any battles with the tories previous to Gates I defeat.
After the disastrous defeat of the American Army at Camden, Young Davis, then Col. of Cavalry & afterwards General, also General Locke & Genl. Davidson, apprehensive of the ruinous consequences of that defeat & the subsequent approach of Lord Cornwallis to N.C., thought it best to raise a larger body of cavalry . . . to which end they sent requisitions to Col. Collier of Randolph county (among others) to send a quoto of troopers. Whereupon, Capt. Dougan was ordered to join Col. Davis with his troop, which he did, at or near Gen. Locke's in Rowan county.
We immediately marched to meet the invading army under Cornwallis. We met at Charlotte where we had,an eneavement principally with the cavalry in which the brave and promising son of General Locke was killed by my side. We were compelled to retreat, being overpowered by numbers: our object being principally to harass and impede their march. We retreated to the neighborhood of Salisbury in the Phifer settlement. From this place we marched under Davis to Rocky River in Mecklenburg county, the British still in Charlotte. This engagement at Charlotte was about the latter part of the summer, or in the fall of 1780. We lay at Rocky River until the battle of Kings Mt. . . .
I think it was Oct. 7, when Cornwallis retreated to S.C. for reinforcements & was pursued by Col. Davis as far as Catawba. I was sent over the river with a reconnoitering party, & returning the same night, found John Graham standing sentry. Col. Davis then marched us back to Mecklenburg & finding his troop a good deal fatigued & exhausted with their active service, he thought as Cornwallis had left N.C., he could give us some rest. He accordingly gave us permission to quarter about the neighborhood for a few days, with directions to operate with secrecy & promptness. We did so, & he then marched us into S.C. near the Waxhaw settlement, where we continued until we were dismissed (?). While there, Graham & I were sent out with a reconnoitering party with directions to quarter with a Mrs. Doby, a whig lady, & get what information we could respecting the movements of the enemy. When we returned to camp we found Gen. Morgan, Col. William Augustine Washington of the Cav., & Col. Howard with his Inf. who had joined Col. Davis in our absence. At this place we were discharged, sometime in the month of December, 1781, so well as we can recollect, for before our discharge Gen. Morgan, with Col. Washington & Col. Howard, had left us & gone South.
After our discharge some few. weeks, the battle of Cowpens was fought. We received no written discharge, for that was considered not so much as a final discharge as a respite until again called on. Being troopers, we held ourselves always ready.
Up to this time we (Graham & I) had served at the best, nine months. Shortly after this I went with others to guard the property of many of the citizens across the Roanoke & upon my return, it being understood by the tories that Graham and I had returned home they came down upon us & made us prisoners & we were detained by them for two days & nights when the generosity of Col. Fields (a tory), a quality very rare among them, we were discharged on parole & I was thus saved, in all probability, from the halter or the dungeon. A11 this occurred some short time before the battle of Guilford. Graham & I were also in some other excursions after tories who had on one occasion inhumanely murdered by brother Henry and one Tucker, but while these excursions did not amount to much length of time, say one month altogether, there was considerable danger in them.
I have resided since the Revolution in this County & now reside in it.
