Little is known about Thomas Johns, Sr. after he came to Kentucky. He
did leave a paper trail of Revolutionary War Pension Applications which just
confuse the issue more. He is found in Amherst, on the 1810 census with a
wife and six children. He is also found on the 1810 Census, Floyd County.
(I only have the index.) He applies for a Rev. War pension in Floyd
County, 1818. In 1820 he applies for the same pension in Harrison Co., KY,
stating he is destitute and has no family. He requests in 1820 that it be
transferred to Ohio, but does not state where in Ohio. However, we find a
Rev. War. Pension Application for him in 1824, Harrison Co., Ohio. He states he
is living with a son, but doesn't name him. All of these applications
mention that he joined in Amherst, lived formerly in Floyd Co., Harrison Co.,
Ohio, &c. Winnie always had him dying in Ross County but I don't think
so. I think it more likely That he died in either Harrison County
Ohio or Cuyoga Co., Ohio. Both want to claim him. Further research
might shed light on this.
