John R JOHNSTON b.1823 Orange Co. NC
John R JOHNSTON was born 23 Feb 1823, son of David JOHNSTON and Eleanor ROGERS.In 1845, he married Eliza E. THOMPSON, born 17 Oct 1824, daughter of James THOMPSON and Nancy STEEL.By Census time in 1850 (Alamance Co.) they had three children, James, Joseph (died young) and Mary, and four more were added by 1860, names uncertain.According to H.S. Turner in his book "Church in the Old Fields", Hawfields Church member John R JOHNSTON was elected Alamance County Clerk in 1869, but I couldn't find the family in the 1870 or subsequent censuses.
Can anyone tell me what became of this JOHNSTON family?
