The Said Elizabeth Johnson was the child of

Nehemiah Johnson born on - - 1750 at Wake Co NC   
died at Nashville on - - and his  ( 1st ) wife
Ann Robertson born on 10 - Feb - 1757 at Wake Co NC
died at Nashville TN on 13 - Oct - 1821 married on - -

The name of her Johnson husband is disputed. Nehemiah seem to be the old version, David the current, and FindAGrave (without citation) claims “probably Isaac.”

http://www.robertson-ancestry.com/1226-wil.htm is a dead link but same info in search field gives https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Mark_Robertson_(1) (same link on his page is a dead link as well)

--------------
so the http://www.robertson-ancestry.com/1226-01.htm note seems superfluous/confusing

The https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_descendants/?ac... shared above says
The Said Elizabeth Johnson was the child of Nehemiah Johnson born on - - 1750 at Wake Co NC died at Nashville on - - and his ( 1st ) wife Ann Robertson born on 10 - Feb - 1757 at Wake Co NC died at Nashville TN on 13 - Oct - 1821 married on - -

5. The Said Ann A Courtney was the child of Nehemiah Courtney born on - - at England died at Franklin TN on - - and his ( 1st ) wife Elizabeth Johnson born on - - at _______________ died at _______________ on - - married on 14 - Oct - 1790
------------------------

So Nehemiah was born in England? May be part of the problem with finding more about him-- my thoughts

Ann Robertson's FaG says her first husband (Johston) was "a justice of the peace in the Washington District of East Tennessee". Is there a list of men who held the title?
