Hi: Yes, I am still working on this huge brick wall I can't seem to break. Hopefully, the New year will bring New information. David Johns(t)on was born c. 1787 - 1790 in Georgia. (Wilkinson Co., according to his will). By 1840, he moved to Plaquemines Parish, LA where he was a riverboat pilot. He married in February 1840 to Hannah Frederika Hoffman. They had 1 son named Alexander Henry Johns(t)on b. 1841. David died in July 1852 at the age of 64. From the time of 1852 to 1863, I completely loose Alexander and Hannah. In 1863, Alexander resurfaces to register for the Confederate Army and in July 1863, he married Magdalena (Sherwood??) (Keisel??). Alexander died in June 1869 from Kidney failure. He had 3 children, 2 surviving at the time of his death. Children were: Walter Jarvis Johns(t)on b. 1863 d. 1867; Hannah C. Johnston b. 1865 d. 1928 -- she never married and lived with David and her sister in law after his death,til she died); David McCoy Johnston b. 1867 d. 1919. Hannah Hoffman Johnston is found again in 1880, living with Magdalena and Hannah and David on Royal St. Hannah must had married _____ Weisheimer for she is listed under Hana Weisheimer in 1880 and also on her death certificate in 1896. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fill in some of these blanks.
