He is given as father of Ann Oglesby Knight on her death record. It shows her born 1798. Jane Oglesby is shown in 1850 Christian County KY with a family of Johnsons. She was born 1780 VA. It's more likely he is a son of Jacob rather than Jesse or Constant, especially with the Virginia connection.

This Johnson family does not appear to be connected to the Johnson family from North Carolina who are also in this community.

They are part of a group of 3 households, along with the following two:
808 Johnson William A 55 1795 Virginia
808 Johnson Mary A 24 1826 Illinois
808 Johnson Nancy C 23 1827 Kentucky
808 Johnson Elizabeth J 21 1829 Kentucky
808 Johnson William D 17 1833 Kentucky

809 Johnson James D 42 1808 Illinois
809 Johnson Mary 46 1804 Tennessee
809 Johnson William A 9 1841 Kentucky
809 Johnson Ann C 7 1843 Kentucky
809 Johnson David A 4 1846 Kentucky

William, 1795, is son of Dilmus Johnson Jr 1761-1839; who is son of Dilmus Johnson Sr (abt 1730 VA-1812 Fluvanna Co, VA.). Dilmus, Sr., had a will dated 20 Dec 1810 and a witness was Joel Melton. Melton family was closely connected to Oglesby family.
Dilmus Sr.'s son William Johnson (1756-1825 Fluvanna co) married Rebecca Melton Appleberry (1784) whose parents were William Appleberry (1724-1776) and Mildred Henson (1760-1828).
His son Dilmus Jr. married Nancy Ann Ashley, born in Goochland County, Virginia, as were the Oglesbys; died in Christian Co. KY. Her parents are not know.
It would take a two or three generations of research to determine the actual connection.
This much of the family info, as well as a transcription of Dilmus Sr. will is found at Ancestry.com, "George Family Tree," tree owner CGeorge91. Also, the Johnsons were included in a D.A.R. plaque honoring the Rev War soldiers buried in Christian county. Private Dalmath Johnson (or Dilmus), Private Samuel Johnson.
