Hello: Can anyone tell who the wife of Robert Johnston of Caroline CO was and their children. Additionally, can anyone help me with his will. The VA State Archives has it under the personal collection papers.. and is most likely his final settlement and inventory. I will pay for gas and copies!! Also would like to get more information on the JOHNSTON/JOHNSON family as it is getting very confusing to me... I am stuck at William Johnston Sr., who married Rachel Spears in Bourbon Co., KY. I believe his father was Robert Johnston who married Peggy McClanahan. William Sr.'s son William H. Johnston owned my ancestors that came from Bourbon Co. KY into Boone and Cooper County Missouri. A little homework has lead me into Paris KY [William Johnston married Margaret Hutchinson who was from Paris... her parents were William Hutchinson and Margaret Hickman]. I am particularly interested in the ownership of slaves in this family which is very complicated at best. Here's were I get stuck -- who is Robert Johnston who married Margaret Peggy McClanahan's father? RObert Johnston of Caroline Co., or do I have the wrong line. I found Robert and Peggy mentioned in the will of Thomas McClanahan, "Peggy's" father. Peggy's sister Clara married David Hickman - Margaret Hutchinson's [noted above] father. There is also a McClanahan connection -- John Marshall McClanahan -- who comes to Morgan CO., MO and ties into the ownership of my ancestors via the Chism/Howard and Tutt families. I also was under the impression that Robert Johnston of Caroline's father was William Johnston who married Anna Marie Chew? So I am very lost somewhere in this game. If anyone has a copy of the Johnstons of Caroline Co., by Elbert Felton or can help me track down a used copy -- please let me know... I am in the market for an inexpensive copy. I know their is a connection to the William Johnson who married Elizabeth CAVE because I can trace the Johnson/Cave connection into Boone County, Missouri Thanks Traci Wilson-Kleekamp african americans in missouri http://www.missouri-slave-data.org
