My JOHNSTON line dates back to at least the mid-1700's in Lancaster Co. in the area later to be formed into Dauphin Co. I feel that in all likelihood I am related to the four JOHNSTON brothers, who according to Engle's Notes and Queries were as follows: Alexander Johnston, of Lower Paxtang township., d. prior to 1793. His brothers were: i. James, m. and had: 1. James, residing in West Pennsboro', Cumberland county, Pa. ii. Gawin, (also known as Gavin, Gan and Gain), m. and had: 1. James 2. Margaret 3. Alexander, residing in the county of York, S. C. iii. Josiah, m. and had: 1. Jane, m. Thomas Orr, residing in Washington county, territory south of the Ohio. 2. Agnes, residing in same place. 3. John, residing in same place. 4. Margaret, m. Samuel Shaw, and had Samuel. Would like to hear from anyone with knowledge of this family. Thanks in advance. Rich
