I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Daniel M. Johnson.
This family resided in the section of Horry County later known as Dog Bluff Township.
The Horry County Johnson families were listed on most early census records with the spelling "Johnston", though in later census records, it was most often listed as "Johnson". I'm not sure which is the "correct" spelling for this family. The tombstones for them show the "t" spelling (Johnston).
Daniel M. Johnson was born 11 Aug 1811 (per tombstone) in South Carolina, presumably Horry District. I don't know what his middle initial stood for.
Daniel M. Johnson is a proven son of William Johnson Sr (1770/75) and was named in his Will dated 6 Apr 1833. He was a son of William and his first wife, who's name is unknown.
It does not seem that Daniel was home with his parents for the 1810 census, so probably born in late 1810 or early 1811.
In 1820, Daniel would have been about 9 years old, so he should be enumerated in the "Under 10" age group, and sure enough, William had one apparent son this age with him in 1820.
In 1830, Daniel would have been about 19 years old, so if listed, he would be in the 15-19 age category (born ca 1810/15). ** Unfortunately, I don't yet have the 1830 enumerations. It seems likely he was still home with his father.
Daniel M. Johnson married Rutilla --- ca 1840 in Horry Dist, SC. I don't know her maiden name. She was born 17 Sep 1817 (per tombstone).
Daniel was listed on the 1840 census in Horry near his first cousins: James Johnson (c1795), John L. Johnson (c1787), and William Johnson (c1800), all sons of Joseph Johnson Sr (1755/65).

"Daniel M. Johnson" was listed on the 1845 Horry District tax list and taxed for 7 slaves. (Horry District Taxpayers 1845-1846 online at the Horry County Historical Society Web pages)
Daniel and family were listed on the 1850 census in Horry Dist, SC not far from his widowed step-mother Elizabeth, just four houses away.

Daniel and family were listed on the 1860 census in Horry Dist, SC. He was just two houses from his cousin William Johnson (c1800).

Rutilla died on 17 Oct 1868, and Daniel on 16 Oct 1869 in Horry. They are buried at Pisgah Methodist Church Cemetery.
Daniel and Rutilla seemed to have had only one child: Waterman Johnson.
Waterman Johnson was born 2 Jan 1845 (per tombstone) in Horry Dist, SC. He was with his parents for the 1850 and 1860 census (listed as "Waterman" both times). Waterman was apparently his middle name. The 1860 census showed him as "S. W." and his tombstone as "E. W." (one of this must be incorrect). I don't know what his first name was.
He married Jane C. --- (or Jane "L" ---) between 1860 and 1870 in Horry. I don't know her maiden name.
They were on the 1870 census in Dog Bluff Township.

They were still in Dog Bluff for the 1880 census.

** I have not yet checked the 1900 and later census records for additional data.
Waterman died on 26 Nov 1926 in Horry, and is buried at Pisgah Methodist Cemetery. (Online at Horry County Historical Society web pages).
I don't know when Jane died. Her grave was not listed on the Cemetery survey for Pisgah. She could be there in an unmarked grave.
