Hello Mary, Could this have been William Christian Johnston born 1st Nov 1830 and supposedly died 14 Dec 1864? If so, he would be a brother to my 3rd great grandmother Mary Johnston. She was born in Monroe County 18 Nov 1826. If this is the correct William, then his father was also a William Johnston and his mother was Esther Emmons. Would be glad to exchange further information with you. Les Shockey At 08:25 PM 8/6/99 -0700, you wrote: >Hi, I'm new to the Monroe Co. list.
