If someone else is working on this Francis/Johnston line, I have additional information which I sent directly to Patti that I can share. That information includes the item below from a soon to be published series on The Times newspapers in Loudoun from the later 1800's. Thursday, 20 June 1901 Vol. XLVI, No. 2 Marriage is announced of Miss Minnie Francis Johnston and Dr. James T. Jones, to take place Thursday, June 13, at 922 New York Ave., Washington DC. Will make their home at Ashburn.
