Thank you very much. This is not mine, but (from old song) "I can dream, can't I?" My James was born in 1761, possibly in PA.

OK, after doing a little more searching on my own, I see where I may have encountered a problem. The 1880 Census has my Jacob Johnston as Johnson, no T and other sons in this family also have no T (but we acquire it somewhere along the way). Jacob was born 6 May 1809 in PA, his parents were born in NJ (both of them). The census also shows his wife as Eliza (instead of Elizabeth). Their son John lives next door with the Trump family as a servant (this John married into the Martin family). Does this help ring any bells? Thanks, Kristen

I am hoping to find info on Jacob Johnston, born 6 May 1809 in PA, died in Marshall County, IN, married to Elizabeth Blankenbaker, born 18 May 1823 in KY. They were married 5 July 1842. They had the following children, all born in Marshall County, IN (if I remember correctly): John Wesley Francis Marion Rebecca Sylvester Jacob Milo Sarah Ellen Lincoln Thanks, Kristen

in Randolph County WV, found early Johnston records at www.pioneerindex.com great source if you are of this line. Much inf on families and births etc. Enjy, N.R. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Can anyone please tell me what records are available that might have information about Johnston/e families living in or near Glasgow in 1795? Would a parish have recorded in its books that a person moved to another country? Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi, Could you please tell me where your Albert Johnson was born and what year? I have an Albert Johnston born in Sheffield England in 1877 and emigrated to the United States in 1893. I found him on the 1900 Montana census, living in Great Falls but have found nothing more on him.
