There was a series on several families coming into Louisiana including the Johnstons that ran in the Groveton News in October of 1998 called "Kinsearching". You might also want to check "Confederate Pension Applications Trinity County, Texas" by Frances Terry Ingmire, 1981 in the Montgomery County, Texas library in Conroe. Marie Constance was also descended from the Gautreaux family, "Guttro" that came from Canada in the "Evangeline" exiles. They can be traced back to France. They lived in Snow Hill Maryland after the Acadian exile before coming to Louisiana. David and Isaac's father was descended from a Johnson who married a Rachel Arrenton or Harrington in the Carolinas. But I dont want to go into details about the family here. The Quintero line comes from Manuel Quintero(s) who was a Spaniard commander, a sergent, when Spain briefly took over Louisiana from France in the 18th century. Dr. Tommy Knox of San Antonio, Texas has more detail about this Johnson family.
