    1. [JOHNSTON] Charles Johnston
    2. Does anyone have information on a Charles (Charlie) Johnston, who was born about 1850, probably in Memphis? He is in the 1860 census at his parents Memphis address, which shows him as under 12. We have a picture of him, showing a young man with a moustache, probably about 20, tho possibly a little older. This picture was taken in Memphis. In 1871, his parents, Daniel Allen (Dan) Johnston and Arrabella (Belle) Williams Johnston, moved to Nashville. We do not know what became of Charley. There is a letter written by Dan in 1871, which mentions "my two little orphans." There is an earlier letter by Dan, written in 1870, which mentions "Kathy and the children." This leads me to wonder if Charley died leaving a widow and two children, with the young widow dying soon after. Does anyone have any information on this family? Thanks, Jim Brooks
