I realize this post is almost a decade old, but curious as to if anyone had found or has additional information on Captain Benjamin Burton Johnson. I believe his wife, Elizabeth Bennet, is actually the niece of Rev. William Bennet, Bishop of Cloyne. She had a brother, also named William Bennet, who was born around 1760 and owned a plantation in St Mary, Jamaica. After he died, Benjamin Burton Johnson took ownership of the estate.

If anyone has additional information on the family or specifically the military service of Captain Johnson, or his father Robert Johnson, i would certainly appreciate it.

Hi Brian, I am also intersted in Captain Benjamin Johnson. I know he lived in Springfield, Kill St Nicholas, and married Elizabeth Bennet (sister of Dr William Bennet, Bishop of Cloyne) and have some details of their children especially Reverend Benjamin Burton Johnson.

Did you get further with your enquiries?
