Thanks for your reply.The date you have for George Johnstone's birth coincides with mine, however George Johnston (who dropped the e) that I descend from died in Aug. 1766.He was in the House of Burgess.He was a lawyer and a trustee for the town of Alexandria.I visited Alexandria in June of 2000 and saw both of his houses.His house at 224 S. Lee St. in Alexandria and his country home at 7101 Telegraph Rd. which is about 5 or 6 miles from the main town of Alexandria.
"Patents and Deeds and Other Early Records of New Jersey, 1664-1703", edited by William Nelson, page 326 shows:1) 1700-1 March 20.Deed.Doctor John Johnstone of Monmouth Co. to John Reid of Hortencie, for a lot in said Co. on Milston Brook, part of the land patented May 22, 1690, to his brother James, who died June 2, 1690. Page 280 that's referenced must be the page in the actual record. 2) 1700-1 March 20. Do. John Reid to Dr. John Johnston, both of Monmouth Co., for 50 acres on Manasquam River, in James Reid's Indian purchase, as per patent of March 25, 1698.Page 281 referenced.
I feel like there's a connection here someplace.So many of the colonial people named there children after their brothers and sisters it's hard to separate them.We have so many George Johnston and Dennis Johnston, it's a mess.
I look forward to hearing from you.Maybe we can actually make some progress.
