Posted on: Johnston Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/joh/Johnston/318 Surname: johnston ------------------------- This is a bit confusing because it sounds sooo similar! But My Oscar was born in 1844 and his son Harry Otis Johnston was born 15 Mar 1889 and Charles Oscar was born 22 Nov 1877. Other siblings of my Harry include Alfred Archey, Frank Albert and Flora Ann (twins). All were born in MO but I'm not sure where. Wish I could find a match! Happy hunting! Christine

Posted on: Johnston Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/joh/Johnston/317 Surname: ------------------------- My grandfathers (Harry M. JOHNSTON) grandfather (whose name im not sure of) was a scout for Well's Fargo during the Civil War in the western territories. He married a Cherokee woman in Oklahoma. Im not sure where, but they gave birth to my great grandfather, Oscar JOHNSTON who married Ivy Mae NOONAN. any information on this lineage, if it is out there at all, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Posted on: Johnston Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/joh/Johnston/316 Surname: Johnston, Noonan ------------------------- My great grandfather was a Oscar Johnston. I know that he lived in Independence, MO for a time around 1922, when my grandfather was born, Harry Johnston. It might not be the right one, because I think my records show that Oscar married Ivy Mae Noonan. But I know that my grandfather had a brother Charles. I hope this helps some.

Have not posted my Johnston family info for awhile so here it is: My great grandmother, Sarah Almena Johnston, (she married Thomas H. Wilde) was born Jan. 2, 1852, in Saybrook, Ashtabula Co., OH. According to her obituary her parents were "Sir John Johnston and Sarah A. Johnston" of Ohio. The obituary also mentioned a sister, Jennie A. [Johnston] McKinley of Fulton, IL. My great grandmother's mother's maiden name was Jenks. Am searching for more info on this Johnston family of Ashtabula Co., OH. Tom Wilde Chesapeake, Virginia

Posted on: Johnston Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/joh/Johnston/315 Surname: ------------------------- Im not sure if she is of the same line as my family is. I know that in this area there are a lot of Johnstons, but not of the same lineage. It might be part of their branch because Oscar and Ivy Mae were originally from Independence, MO, and my Grandfather was the only one from their family that settled in this area.

Posted on: Johnston Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/joh/Johnston/314 Surname: Johnston, Keeling, Pardue, Van Huss, Venable ------------------------- There is a Bessie Eunice Johnston b May 29, 1897 d Nov. 1900 b in Ellis Prairie Cemetery in Texas Co., MO. No other Johnstons that I know of in this cemetery. Could she be part of your line? I have a snapshot of tombstone.

Posted on: Johnston Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/joh/Johnston/313 Surname: ------------------------- Oscar and Ivy Mae Johnston are my Great-Grandparents. They had (I think) 5 children, although I can only remember 3 of them: Harry, Louise, and Richard (Dick). They lived in the Independence area of Missouri, and I know Richard moved to Arizona. My Grandfather, Harry M. Johnston Married Alberta VanSteemburg, and gave birth to my father, Harry S., while living in New York. They then moved to the Texas County area of Missouri. I have several kin in the Kansas City area, namely INdependence. If anyone has any information on this branch of the Johnston line, please let me know. I do not know much about this side of my family lineage, and I would really be interested in learning about it.

Although my grandfather was proud of his heritage, he was not a terribly talkative person, and by the time it occurred to me to get our family's story straight, I had to rely on my grandma's version of it. . . Of course, even though she wrote it out (and it seems to be a couple dozen pages of stream-of-thought-type rambling), it isn't as helpful as it could have been, if someone had bothered to do this while granddad or great-granddad were still here to really fill in the blanks. At this point, I've been able to clear up some of her errors about my ggrandfather's origins, though I'm too ignorant to know how to proceed from here. Have been lurking on the Johnston and Orkney boards for a while, and am usually entertained by others' tales, but disappointed that no one so far has come close to mentioning anyone remotely related or from the same part of the country. Perhaps if I lay out what I know, someone will volunteer something useful: James Petrie JOHNSTON born May 5, 1864 parents: William JOHNSTON and Mary CAMPBELL residing on WALLS, Orkney Since my gf always said he'd come from HOY, I find it difficult to go back any farther; there are numerous Mary Campbells, and at least four William Johnstons listed from the general time period and on these islands. James P. JOHNSTON told of two brothers--both sailors; one apparently earned his living in the area as a seaman, the other went to Australia, where he owned a steamship line. Also mentioned a sister, but I have no names for any of the siblings, and my ggf lost contact with his family over time. As the farming/fishing life was harsh, he told how he also joined up as a sailor to find "greener pastures" (?!), and wound up in Chicago on May 11, 1888 (yes, I know I ought to be able to track the ship down). He and a shipmate wandered off to Iowa, where he married Eunice Hess of Hitesville, farmed a while, owned a creamery, and had 11 children. He was also a master mason. Since he died before I was born, I only had my grandfather's watered-down tales and speech patterns to relate to, and I suppose the strength of my Johnston traits and mannerisms account for identifying more with this part of my family than any other (there seem to be Johnston looks that no amount of additional gene pooling can counteract!). Not sure what it is I hope to accomplish by going back in time, but I suppose I can blame it on my reluctance to settle into mundane American mutthood. . . perhaps that's everyone's motivation in getting into their family trees--to feel part of something bigger and more important than our daily existence, as well as explaining the origin of many family oddities and customs. On the remote chance that someone might have something to flesh out this family (or even more remotely, wants to know who came after!), I'll thank you in advance. And go back to lurking. ;-) Jeanne Johnston Evans FL
