Surnames: Johnston, Calvin, Hadden Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hYl.2ACIB/4141 Message Board Post: I would very much like to find descendants of Martin Johnston and his wife Maria Calvin who emigrated from Northern Ireland to the USA sometime after their marriage in 1845. Martin Johnston was born c. 1821 in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, and married Maria Calvin of Creevelea near Stonebridge, Co. Monaghan, N. Ireland, on January 24, 1845. At the time, Martin was stationed nearby in service in the Royal Irish Constabulary. Martin Johnston was listed in the Stonebridge Presbyterian church marriage register as "of Enagh, of 2nd Monaghan Regt." (or Regulars). His name was found in records of the Royal Irish Constabulary, 1816-1921: Name: MARTIN JOHNSTON Birth Date/Age: 19 Birthplace: Fermanagh Enlisted: 1840 Calvin family letters of 1911 relate the story that Martin and Maria Johnston went to America, supposedly to Philadelphia, and that Maria was still living in 1911. Children and other descendants are unknown. Maria Calvin was born about 1822, the daughter of William Calvin and Anne Hadden of Creevelea. Maria's sister Eliza Jane Calvin (born about 1817) married William Johnston on July 28, 1837, according to Stonebridge Presby. church records. William may have been a brother or other relative of Martin Johnston, but children/descendants of William and Eliza Jane are yet unknown. We do not yet know if they remained in Ireland or emigrated elsewhere. Any further information on children / descendants / allied families of Martin Johnston (born about 1821) and wife Maria Calvin, and William Johnston (born about 1810) and wife Eliza Jane Calvin, would be welcomed.
