He and his family actually appear twice in the 1880 census; once in Sedalia county and once in the city of Sedalia, so they must have lived at the edge of town. One lists W. Johnston, 65, Elizabeth, 35, Sarah, 13, and Anna, 5 months. The other has William A. Johnstone, 65, Elizabeth, 36, Sarah, 14, and Anna, 5 months. I have been able to trace Elizabeth and Anna, but not William or Sarah. I suspect William is buried in Sedalia. Can anyone verify this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Tom

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Scales, Piner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FMB.2ACE/968.1 Message Board Post: I have a William Scales, about 1761-1810, in my direct line. His father was named Thomas. He had a daughter, Jane McClary Scales (10 Mar 1801-2 Jul 1868) who married Presley Piner (about 1794-28). Both Jane and Presley were botrn in NC, reportedly Rockingham County. Their families moved to Boone County, KY early in the 19th century, and many of their decendents subsequently moved on to Missouri. Other than the above, I know nothing of the Scales side of the house. It would appear there may be some connection between your early William Scales, son of Thomas and mine. Does anything in your records allow such a correllation, e.g. a reference to a Jane McClary Scales? Thanks. Dick Schenk
