I am researching John Johnston and William Johnston. They are brothers born in Arkansas in 1860 and 1864. John A. Johnston married Mary Ann Justice in Sebastian County and William Johnston married Kittie Bailey also in Sebastian County. John and Mary relocated to Mena, AR and Will was a barber in Ft. Smith and moved to Texas due to TB. Is anyone researching these families? Thanks Lynne
