I (Marty Grant) am a 4th Great Grandnephew of Samuel Johnson.
This family resided in the Temperance Hill section of Marion County.
Samuel Johnson was born ca 1775/80 in Georgetown Dist, SC (now Marion Co, SC). He is a son of Samuel and Mary (---) Johnson.
Samuel Johnson was probably home with his parents for the 1790 census, listed in the age "under 16" category (born ca 1774/90).
In 1800, his father Samuel only had one apparent son with him, age 16-25 (born ca 1774/84). This could easily be Samuel, or one of his brothers. There is no way to be sure which it was. Samuel (Jr) might also have been married already by 1800, but I'm not sure of that either.
Samuel Johnson Jr married someone (I've not found her name on any records, so far) between ca 1800 and 1810.
On 18 Feb 1802, John Turbeville (Samuel's brother-in-law) and Bethany Turbeville (Samuel's sister) sold Samuel Johnson Jr 211 acres on the south side of Buck Swamp. Witnesses were Roger Roberts and Robert Moody. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book E, page 235, from "Marion County South Carolina Abstracts of Deeds Volume One Books A - E 1800-1811", by Lucille Utley, and Alita White Sutcliffe, 1996)
On the same date (18 Feb 1802), Samuel Johnson Sr and Mary Johnson (his parents) sold Samuel Jr 130 acres (for $10) on the south side of Buck Swamp. Witnesses were Roger Roberts and Sharod Johnson (his brother). (Marion Co, SC Deed Book E, page 237, from "Marion County South Carolina Abstracts of Deeds Volume One Books A - E 1800-1811", by Lucille Utley, and Alita White Sutcliffe, 1996)
On 2 Apr 1804, John and Alse Deer sold Samuel Johnson Jr 120 acres on the South West side of Buck Swamp. Witnesses were Jesse Moody and William Allen. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book E, page 243, from "Marion County South Carolina Abstracts of Deeds Volume One Books A - E 1800-1811", by Lucille Utley, and Alita White Sutcliffe, 1996)
On 5 Apr 1804, Samuel Johnson Jr (and William Allen) witnessed a deed from Samuel and Mary Johnson (his parents) to Benjamin Johnson (his brother). (Marion Co, SC Deed Book F, page 64, from "Marion County South Carolina Abstracts of Deeds Volume Two Books F-I & K 1811-1823", by Lucille Utley, and Alita White Sutcliffe, 1997)
Samuel Johnston Jr was listed as a voter on the 1809 voter list from Marion Dist, SC.
Samuel Johnson was listed on the 1810 census in Marion Dist, SC. He was listed between John Rogers and Abner Legett.

Samuel Johnson was listed on the 1811 tax list for Marion Dist, SC.
Samuel's brother Thomas Johnson died ca 1813, and on 17 Jul 1813, his brothers and sisters sold their interest in his tract of land to Samuel Johnson Jr (who was also an heir). They were listed as his heirs in this fashion: Mary Johnson, Sherid Johnson, Benjamin Johnson, John Turbeville, William Turbeville, Unity Woods, Robert Moody, Jessey Bryan and Enos Tart. They sold their share to Samuel Johnson (Jr) for $305. Witnesses were Thomas Moody and Roger Moody. This deed proves the entire Samuel Johnson family pretty well.

Samuel Johnson was listed on the 1814 tax list for Marion District, SC and taxed $1.21.
Samuel Johnson was listed on the 1820 census in Marion Dist, SC. Unfortunately, this census was alphabetical, so I can't tell where he lived, nor who his neighbors were.

I did not find Samuel Johnson on the 1840 census. He may have died in the 1830/40 timeframe, or possibly moved away.
I did not find any Equity or Probate records for Samuel Johnson.
I did not find Equity nor probate records for Samuel Johnson Jr. The census records show a large family of sons and daughters, but I have not found proof for any of them so far.
Unknown Son (1800/10). Samuel Johnson had an apparent son this age with him in 1810 (age "under 10", born ca 1800/10), but gone by 1820, so probably married or dead by then.
There was no male Johnson head of household in Marion for the 1820 census this age, so this child, if still living, and still in Marion, was probably not married yet.
