Our Quaker Friends seems to be the main source. Someone should go find the original Quaker records. These are now available on Ancestry. Use Hinshaw as a pointer to which meetings, though for this guy, it's likely all in the South River MM, Lynchburg, VA.
↑"Our Quaker Friends of ye olden time" by James Pinkney Pleasant Bell & published in 1905 by J. P. Bell Company of Lynchburg, VA; p12. This also lists the children.

Paternal line Y-chromosome DNA test-takers:
Rowland is much more likely to be from the line of William Johnson which goes to Newbell Johnson also who lived in Spartanburg. He lived right near Rowland. Im not convinced that a Quaker certificate of removal to North Carolina makes this profile a duplicate of Rowlands father who was in South Carolina. There are no Rowlands or his brother Claiborn mentioned in any Quaker records
there is another Johnson/Gerard researcher that has some evidence that Rowland (Roland) may be a son of John lll but it is not certain. I asked her to document her findings on the profile of Roland Johnson. She also has a lot of info on the downline. It appears this is her descendant line.
Eric/Paula I will forward my communication with her so you can see where she is coming from. Take a look at her evidence and see what you think. Roland is currently connected to a John Johnson that appears to be a dup of this John lll profile.
Birth year corrected to available source. All documented children have been added and no relation to Rowland Johnson of Spartanburg South Carolina can be attributed.
