The Johnsons share the motto with the Irish Donoghue and a couple other families... The motto shown to be used by Johnsons in Ireland as early as 1680's in the brief reading I done on it. This I found under a search by the motto and it's a booked called the general armory of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
It shows the family is a Border family and it's history as well as the use of the name by McGregors when their name was ordered not used.... It's an interesting reading... It's in rampantscotland.com I cannot give the link since I am on my phone..
