My great grand father was Joseph Lee Johnston. He was born July 19, 1872. I know that in 1896 he was living in Walla Walla, Washington and marred Nellie Grant Money. They had a daughter, Martha. Later he married Liilian Martha Gardner and they had three children Davis, Helen, and Donald Wesley. They lived in Hayes, Washington and Portland, Oregon. Does anyone have any information?

I am trying to locate the descendants of Harriet Linder & Daniel L. Johnston of Mobile Alabama. Harriet filed for divorce in 1847. 

State: Alabama Year: 1847
Location: Mobile Location Type: County

Abstract: In 1827, Harriet Linder married Daniel L Johnston, but for many years he did nothing to support the family. Besides being shiftless, Harriet asserts, Daniel is a man with "a high temper and revengeful disposition" who does nothing for their six children. Harriet owns, by inheritance a small amount of real property--land in Baldwin and Mobile counties. She also owns four slaves, including a woman and her three small children. She fears that, if she and her husband remain married, she will lose this small estate. Harriet seeks a divorce, and asks that her husband's "right, title, and interest" in the land and slaves be turned over to her.......

 

State: Alabama Year: 1848
Location: Mobile Location Type: County

Abstract: In 1827, Harriet L. Linder married Daniel L. Johnston, who, she contends, "although well able to work & to support his family, has added nothing to their support." Indeed, over the years, David squandered much of what she earned, and has now has abandoned the family. With five children to support, she purchased a slave woman and her three small children, using funds from the sale of land bequeathed to her by her father. Fearful that she might lose this small estate if she remains married, Harriet Johnston files for divorce.

 

Any help finding Harriet & her children in 1850 or later would be appreciated.

OOOPSY! Ignore the first John Johnston, Canada, who died in Johnsonville. I actually don't have a confirmed connection to him. :-[

I'm not even sure why I have him....

Hello, I am researching my family line (namely my father's maternal line at the moment). His grandfather was Samuel Johnston born in Northern Ireland Co. Armagh, Loughall and his grandmother was Jane/Jean Russell born in Scotland, possibly near Glasgow or Edinburgh. They married and immigrated seperately to NYC in 1883 and 1884 where they spent the rest of their lives. They had one son named John who was born in Ireland 1883, the rest of the children (Samuel Jr. 1885, Elizabeth 1890,Jemima (Mae) Hamilton 1892, Joseph 1896-1902?, and Jean(ne) 1900) were born in Manhattan. Mae married Claude Sallee (my grandfather) and they lived in the NYC-Long Island area until their deaths. geven the commonality of the name, I have been unable to trace back very far into Ireland or Scotland. I was told that Sam had a number of siblings that came over too, one may have been named Moses. My dad recently sent in his DNA sample and we are hoping to find some kind of connection from it. Thank you in advance for any information anyone may have ....it's an addiction I know :)

Hi All, My family Johnstons came from Inverness-shire, Scotland around 1852. His name was John H Johnston. Then the family went to Iowa then to CA. I haven't been able to read all of the comments yet, but I will. I'm new to this site, but it looks like fun.

Searching for information about the family of Mary Magdalene Johnston, B. 1920-1928 in Pike County Mississippi - possibly near McComb. Rumor has it she was at least partially Choctaw. She married a Michael Dadario and ended up in Philadelphia, PA. [Trying to get my daughter-in-law interested in genealogy]
