After the war, Johnson returned to the House of Representatives. The legislature appointed him to the Senate in 1. John J. Crittenden. As his prominence grew, his interracial relationship with Julia Chinn, an octoroonslave, was more widely criticized. It worked against his political ambitions. Unlike other upper class leaders who had African American mistresses but never mentioned them, Johnson openly treated Chinn as his common law wife.

Early life and educationeditRichard Mentor Johnson was born on October 1. Robert and Jemima Suggett Johnsons eleven children. His father had served as a Fayette County representative in the Virginia House of Burgesses, while his mother came from a wealthy and politically connected family. At the time of Johnsons birth, fortunes of the Johnson family were tied up with indigenous peoples. Resistance by such peoples stopping the family from moving there for numerous years, and when they were able to settle there, they constructed a stockade around their house since a multi tribal coalition contested US claims to the region after the Treaty of Paris in 1. At the time, the family was living in the newly founded settlement of Beargrass, near present day Louisville, Kentucky5 which was part of Virginia until Kentucky was organized and admitted as a state in 1. Two years later, the border war had ended. Soon thousands more would join the Johnsons in Kentucky, with 3. The women of Bryans Station draw water while the enemy looks on. By 1. 78. 2, the Johnsons had moved to Bryans Station future Lexington in Fayette County. Johnsons mother was considered among the heroic women of the community because of her actions during Simon Girtys raid on Bryans Station in August 1. According to tradition, as Girtys forces surrounded the fort, the occupants discovered that they had almost no water inside to withstand a siege. Several Indians had concealed themselves near the spring outside the fort. The Kentuckians reasoned that the Indians would stay hidden until they attacked. Jemima Johnson approved a plan for the women to go alone and collect water from the spring as usual. Many men disapproved of the plan, fearing the women would be attacked and killed. However, faced with no other option they finally agreed. Shortly after sunrise, the women went to the spring and returned without incident. Not long after they had returned, the attack began. Indian warriors set fire to several houses and stables, but a favorable wind kept the fires from spreading. Children used the water drawn by the women to put out the fires. A flaming arrow landed in baby Richard Johnsons crib, but it was doused by his sister Betsy. Help arrived from Lexington and Boone Station, and the Indians retreated.
