He had a brother William,and sisters Rachel, Susie,Jane,and others. Samuel married a Rachel Cox about December 1, 1831. Samuels brother William Williams married a Rachel Cantwell.

Andrew Johnson/Johnston b. ca. 1795 Ohio married Elizabeth Hazelbaker 1833 Tuscarawas County, Ohio and moved to Indiana. Elizabeth Johnson/Johnston married a Daniel Hazelbaker b. ca. 1786 in 1821 Stark County. Believe she might have been married before. Leah Johnson/Johnston b. ca. 1803 married a Henry Hazelbaker 1825 Tuscarawas County. Do not know of relationship of any of these Johnson/Johnston.

Thanks to some responses I've received about various Johnston and Morrison families, and some homework that I've done, I've now narrowed my focus of interest in this county down to something I can work with. I'm researching the following families (all in Salem Township): George F. Johnston (middle name probably Francis) I found him isted as George F. Jhnston in the 1830 census of Salem Township. He may be the same George Johnston that died 1839 in New Hagerstown, Carroll, OH. If so, his wife was Martha, and had a son named Francis. This George (father of Francis) was supposed to have come from Salem Township, and since he is the only George in the census there, odds are it's him. However, the dates on the tombstone don't match George's data in the census. Andrew Johnston I found him in the 1820 and 1830 censuses of Salem Township. In 1820, he is listed as Andrew Jonston. Joseph Johnston I found him in the 1800, 1810, 1820 & 1830 censuses os Salem Township. In 1820 he was listed as Jonston, and he lived next door to Andrew Johnston. I believe that Joseph is probably the father of both George and Andrew. Thomas M. Johnston I found him in the 1830 census of Salem Township, living near Joseph and Andrew. I'm suspicious, however, of his relation to the family of Joseph. He appeared to be living with many brothers and sisters. Why would half of Joseph's children be living with Joseph and the other half with Thomas? However, Francis Johnston (son of George) named one of his children Joseph and another Thomas M. John Johnston I found him in the 1830 census of Salem Township, living near George. I suspect that he is NOT of the same family. I think he was a recent immigrant, the father of Sarah Ann Johnston. I suspect his wife might have been named Nancy (I'll explain why below). In a story written by a daughter of Sarah Ann Johnston of New Hagerstown, Carroll, OH, it says that there were 2 Johnston families that were not blood related living in the same community in Pennsylvania (definately the Congruity church community of Salem Township, Westmoreland). It says that Francis was born in PA in 1808, and Sarah Ann was born in Ireland 1811, and came to America 1822. Then, it says that one of Francis' sisters married one of Sarah's brothers. Next bit of information: Sarah Ann Johnston married Alexander Morrison in Congruity Church, Salem Township in the 1830s. There was a James Morrison living with a younger brother (Alexander's age) in the 1830 census of Salem Township. He lived within four houses from both the Joseph Johnston family and the Thomas M. Johnston family. I DON'T think either of these families are the family of Sarah Ann. We know Joseph was in Salem Township since 1800, but Sarah didn't come from Ireland until 1822. I DON'T think that Thomas M. and Sarah are related. This is because Thomas M. was a name of one of Francis' children. I think he's probably in the George Johnston famliy. However, if Sarah had a brother that married another Johnston (one of George's children), that Johnston could have been Thomas. I, however, believe that this Thomas M. Johnston is the Thomas Johnston that married Catherine Foster in Congruity Church. The Foster family lived right near the George Johnston family. Finally, I believe the children of Alexander Morrison and Sarah Ann Johnston tell something about the names of their parents. The first four names of the children were: Margaret, Samuel, John and Nancy. I already know the mother of James and Alexander Morrison was named Margaret. She shows up in the 1840 census of Salem Township on the same land that James and Alexander lived (with an older woman) in the 1830 census. The father was apparently long deceased, as there were no Morrisons in the 1820 census. 1) Margaret was named after Alexander's mother. 2) Samuel was probably named after Alexander's father. There was an Alexander Morrison in the 1800 census of Salem Township, but at that time the census was done alphabetically, not in order of where the houses were, so it's hard to see where he lived. 3) John was probably named after the father of Sarah Ann Johnston. There was a John Johnston of the correct age in Salem Township, but his daughter was 10-15 years old in the 1830 census, and Sarah would have been 18. That could have been a mistake by the census taker, though. 4) Nancy was probably the name of the mother of Sarah Ann. This is PURE SPECULATION from the names, but it seems that both Johnston families were very traditional in the naming patterns of the children. For example, the third son is supposed to be named after the father, and Alexander's third son was named Alexander Johnston Morrison. So, what I really need are some tombstones! Is there a cemetery listing for the Congruity church cemetery? Can I pay someone to take a walk and look for me? I have been there, but at the time I was only researching my Borland family. I saw some Johnston tombstones, but I had no idea they were even related to me. I hadn't traced my Johnstons back to PA yet. I even remember a John Johnston tombstone because it was kind of a nice one, real old style. I need some dates and names of spouses to help me. I'm positive my family is burried there! I expect to find Samuel & Margaret Morrison burried together. I expect to find a John Johnston burried next to a Nancy! Can anyone help? Thanks, and I hope this information is useful to others. Kevin Borland Researching Borland, Gregg, Johnston, Morrison & Forbes in Westmoreland County I'm sending this to the Harrison County post because I also believe that some of the Johnstons in that county tie in to these lines too.

Since I sent you the first message, I've been doing my homework, and it paid off! I've got the mother of Hannah 100% and I also found the McClelland connection in that family! I highly doubot the paternal line is related to your Welches, however. I have conjured up quite a bit of detail on your family in the process, though, most of which you may already have. Here is my latest breakthrough: Hannah J. Welch was the daughter of ? Welch and Margaret ?. The father was ALMOST definately the son of Captain William Welch. Which son (out of the list of William's children) is still a mystery. Three sons stayed in Maryland, and the rest I don't have names for, and I don't know where they ended up. I live in a DC suburb, so I should have plenty of time to do that research in the near future. The father Welch and the mother Margaret came to either Franklin Township, Harrison County or some part of Tuscarawas County (I think the area is probably present day Franklin Township) and the father died shortly thereafter. They came to Ohio with their only child Hannah. After the father Welch died, Margaret married John DeLong, who was recently widowed himself and left with a huge family to take care of on his own. John & Margaret probably had one son named Nicodemus (but I've only found that name from someone else's family tree, so I haven't proven it yet). In the 1840s, John DeLong died, and Margaret ?/Welch/DeLong remarried Nicholas Wheeler II (son of Nicholas Wheeler & Drucilla Johnson). Around the same era, the daugher Hannah married John Peregoy Smith. At some point, John & Hannah bought a cemetery plot in Stock Township (Pleasant Valley). William Peregoy Smith and his wife were burried there (William was John's brother). Also, Hannah's mother Margaret was burried there, the grave reading Margaret Wheeler! The McClelland connection is through the Wheeler family. One of Nicholas' children (Hannah's stepbrother) married a McClelland. Hannah and her step-sister-in-law must have become very good friends, as Hannah gave one of her sons the middle name McClelland. Unfortunately, Hannah new very little about her father. Her family was unable to write anything about him in the biographical records in the county, except that they were a family of "Sterling Pioneers." In the 1880 census, she reports that her mother was born in Harford County, MD, but that she was unaware of her father's birth locale. I'll have to figure these details out for her! The father Welch must have purchased land in Ohio at some point, and he probably payed taxes a few years too. I already ordered the land records from the LDS library, and I know that all the tax records are in the basement of the Harrison County Genealogical Society. The maximum amount of time the Father Welch could have been alive in Harrison County was between 1825 and 1829 (the period between 1825 when Hannah was an infant, since we know she was born in Maryland and the parents would have likely not travelled in the first few months of her life in 1824, and 1829 when Hannah remarried John DeLong). Thanks for your help, and I hope this information can be useful, if for nothing less than weeding out a local Welch who is not related to any of the other Welch families in the area!
