A special election was held in North Carolina's 8th congressional district on August 6, 1801, to fill a vacancy created when David Stone (F) resigned upon being elected to the Senate before the 7th Congress began.
Johnson took his seat on December 7, 1801, at the start of the 7th Congress.
He subsequently died on July 23, 1802,[2] creating a second vacancy which was filled in another special election.
