Born: about 1852-00-00 Allen Co, Kentucky USA
Died: (unknown)

Notes:

His mother's will names eight "orphan grandchildren" named Johnson. Five of them are children of her daughter Phereby, who married Thomas Johnson and died in 1878. Thomas did not re-marry (and if he did any children wouldn't be Phereby's grandchildren), so Mordie, Hattie, and Willie must be from William.

The 1880 census has a Hattie B 7, Mattie D 5, and Jno Wm 3, children of Thomas C Johnson 44 + Lydia Cooper. That isn't Thomas who married Phereby, because he is on a different page with the known children. Thomas C married Lydia on 1866-12-25, but I don't see him in Allen Co on the 1860 census. He is there on the 1870, and their only child is Lydia's by an earlier marriage. I don't see him on the 1850 either, unless he is the C Johnson age 11 s/o William + J.

--
This might be him:
1870 census Allen Co KY p185b
William Johnson 21 KY
Permelia W 24 KY
William A Allen 26 KY (laborer)

That is William C Johnson who married 1869-02-17 Permelia W Harman d/o Aden Harman + Eliza (unknown).

Also in Allen Co are:
William T 24 with wife Luvinia 21 and son Ira, but he is living with a David Johnson 26 who is likely his brother.
William H 19, but he is living with his parents William 52 and Martha 45.
