Sorry, I meant for this to go to the list too. I find the Johnston's hard to trace as you have to look at all the Johnson's also. If this helps someone, it is certainly worth the time it takes to type it. Betty Tosca, Don't worry about me being away. I have my computer and most of my information has been entered. I have to admit, what I have entered in the last five years or so is much better documented than what I entered earlier. If you want a print-out of the Francis line I will be happy to send it to you. Evergreen Mill Road still exists in Loudoun County. It leaves Rt 15 west of Leesburg and runs through an area that was originally Elgin land among others. My grandmother grew up on the east side of the road, across from where the Shumates lived and also across from what was then Sycolin school. The school is no longer there. The Johnstons did live in this area. I will have to check as to where. This family is definitely from Loudoun County, VA. About the Johnston's: James Johnston (1779-1853), b. Loudoun Co, VA, m. Mary [?]. James d. 19 Aug 1853 in Bloomfield, Loudoun Co and was buried in the Old Bethesda Methodist Cemetery near Unison, Loudoun County. Their children: Sarah b. 24 Sep 1779-d. 9 Dec 1928, m. William H. Gill c.27 Nov 1854(This was the date their license was issued.) I have 2 sons, 1 daughter John b. c. 1832 -Shown as 18 on the 1850 census. I have no further record of this child. James W. b. c.1833, m. Maria Clayton Francis. I do not have a date for his marriage or death. Their children: Anna Lillian b. 1 Jan 1865, all I have is 'died young' Marie Francis b. 8 Jul 1871-d. 10 Feb 1941, m. Dr. James Tasker Jones. (I only have one marriage for both of them) Their children: Irma Rowena Jones - That's all I have Mary Elaine Jones - That's all I have. Egbert Johnston Jones b. 16 Feb 1904-d. 5 Aug 1913 of appendicitis. Buried Union Cemetery, Leesburg. Annie Ethel b. 8 Jun 1875 James W. Johnston Jr - I have no date for his birth-d. 4 Oct 1935 m. Mamie Eastwood That's all I have. Mary Rosalie - I have no date for her birth Thomas Montalie - I have no date for his birth, m. Pauline Fogg. They had a son Leo. That's all I have.

Mary C. b. c.1834-d. 1838 James appears on the 1850 census in Loudoun County. Now about the Francis family: Maria Clayton Francis b. c. 1835, was the daughter of John Francis(1800-1859) and Alfrena Maddux(1804-1842) She is my 2nd cousin 3 times removed. Thank you TMG. John Francis was the son of William Enoch Francis mentioned in an earlier email, and Ann Dulin. He is my 1st cousin 4 times removed. My eyes are going cross-eyed and my husband is complaining. I am going to bed. I will get back to this tomorrow. Betty ----- Original Message ----- From: Tosca To: betty ; P.

I'll try to review what I have and send it to you. I quite possibly would like your file that you offered in your first posting back to me, but will wait - you need to enjoy your time in SC without worrying about me. And you probably have it at home anyway. And Pat, as ever, you are so helpful as well...I dont think Stoll would be right - I've seen Stoehr, Staehr, Stair, etc...but maybe time will tell. In genie friendship... Tosca ps: Re: Evergreen Mills, I had emailed that question hoping that Patti woul learn something. She came right back to me and said I made a good point, again said something about Evergreen Mills, but still didn't say it was in Loudoun. She still didn't give any dates. (There is also an Evergreen Mills in Oklahoma.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betty" <brfrain@comcast.net> To: <valoudou@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2008 9:28 PM Subject: Re: [VALOUDOU] Francis > Tosca, > > Evergreen Mills is in Loudoun County, VA, south of Leesburg. > > Betty > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tosca" <tkwhsimms@hovac.com> > To: <valoudou@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2008 5:37 PM > Subject: Re: [VALOUDOU] Francis > > > | Patti, > | A time frame and the location of Evergreen Mills would help determine if > | your family came from VA. > | Tosca > | > | ----- Original Message ----- > | From: <PattiB9460@aol.com> > | To: <valoudou@rootsweb.com> > | Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2008 4:34 PM > | Subject: Re: [VALOUDOU] Francis > | > | > | > My g-grandfather's second wife was Minnie Francis Johnston, of Evergreen > | > Mills.
