Posted on: Johnston Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/joh/Johnston?read=203 Surname: Johnston, Pickett, Raines ------------------------- My GG Grandfather, Abner D. Johnston, was born circa 1809 in SC. He married Frances Raines Pickett in SC and they moved, I think, in the 1840s to FL. One son, James Francis Pickett Johnston, b. 1835 is my G Grandfather. Both were Captains in the FL Mounted Volunteers in the mid 1850s in the last Seminole Indian War. Looking for the parents of Abner D. Johnston, probably in SC. With these, I believe I can bridge to genealogy already done, back to Ireland/Scotland. I will appreciate any leads.
