A note at the end of the "Charles Lovelace" info from Iredell Co. Genealogical Society:
Asa Johnson's descendents have been good, substantial, upright citizens. Most or all of his children owned slaves. While some have belonged to the Baptist demonination, most of his descendants have been identified with the M.E. church, South. Quite a number have been connected with the Masonic fraternity. While dark hair and eyes are common among them, light hair, blue or brown eyes and fair complexion have generally predominated.

The will of Benjamin Johnson, dated April 15, 1812:
Wills to wife Casander Johnston the property "I received at the time of our marriage that has not been distributed among HER children..."
Sounds like Casander was a second wife. He then gives small amounts to "my beloved children" Elenor Hicks, Ruth Benett, Jas. Johnston, Asa Johnston, Benjamin Johnston, Lyda Lovelace, Richel Albea, John Jonson and Baker Johnson.
He uses Johnston, Johnson and Jonson in the same document. Signs his name Benjamin Johnson.
