Thanks everyone! I can't tie this Johnston line into mine. My Noah was the son of George Johnston born 1769 in Prince William, VA and Margaret Stone. George died 1849 in Adams County, IL. Jan, I'd love to see that biography booklet written by Noah! Nancy Oard wasn't the daughter of Jonathan Wells. His daughter Mary Ann Wells married Edward Carter and had my G-Grandmother, Sarah M. Carter. Sarah married Augustus Milton Oard. I think that might be who you are thinking about. Your James Thomas was Mary Ann's brother. I am also a directly descended through Jonathan's brother William through his son William Jr. This line also married into my Oard/Ords. -----Original Message----- From: iljeffer-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2014 8:44 PM To: iljeffer@rootsweb.com Subject: ILJEFFER Digest, Vol 9, Issue 220 *IMPORTANT* When replying to a digest message, DO NOT just hit Reply (which will send the entire digest back to the list).
