Dear Matt, My heart stopped when I first read that you were also searching for Robert Johnston, as am I! And we are also from Barton County, MO! However I don't think we are connected. My earliest record of our Robert Johnston is the birth of his son Joseph in 1784, in Fairfax county, Virginia and that he was born in Ireland. And it lists Joseph's mother as Catherine Wallace.I have no other records of other children born to this marriage. Next records are in Clark County, Kentucky. Joseph is married to Rebecca Bryan in 1806. they had Robert, Andrew, Elzabeth, Kathrine, Bryon, sophia Jane, John W. ( our direct decendant), Mary Sparks, James Riley, Wm Wallace, Harriett newell, and Thirza Emaline. John W. was born 1822 in Warren county, MO. Not sure what year his father moved to Mo. But they lived close to the Boons, as his mother was a Bryan as was Daniel Boons, Mother and they were cousins. John W. married twice. William P. Johnston was born from the second marriage and they lived in Barton county MO. He is burried in Sheldon MO, Vernon County, MO. Is son William P. had a son William P. who was my husband Morris W.'s father. All this family records are at the LDS library. If you find info on our Robert Johnston I'd love to hear from you!

Dear Juanita, I sure will. I noticed that there was more than one family of Johnstons in Barton County circa 1900. However, mine were in Jefferson Twp and the others in Taylor or Jackson, I believe. Thanks for the response and I'll keep you posted. Am working on the marriage records for Shelby county, Mo. at this time.
