Peter Johnston (1763-1831), quit school at Hampden-Sydney College to join Light Horse Harry Lee's Partisan Legion with his schoolmate Clement Carrington during the revolutionary war. He later studied law and served in the House of Delegates from Prince Edward County, Virginia, from 1792-1793, 1798-1808, 1810-1811. In 1811 he was appointed judge of the federal court of Virginia.
