Are "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and "Over There" related?

"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was from the Civil War, and "Over There" was from World War I when the United States entered.

They both feature Johnny of course, and I've always heard that Johnny was a common term for Americans, but I'm not quite sure. Is "Over There" refferencing "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"?
