Was your Robert 1778 of the Rowan-Davie Co. area? If so, he might be a son of Robert who died there in 1776. There were both a Robert and a Robert Jr listed in Tax Tables there between 1757 and 1793. This is my first day at looking for Johnstons so I haven't org. much. My Wellman-McMahon ancestors were good friends and neighbors of a David Johnston in Rowan,which is what brought me to this web. I've done a lot of searching on Rowan Co.but haven't put it together in terms of finding Johnstons and am doing so out of desperation because I believe that David J. married a McMahon and is therefore a relative.Other Johnston surnames in these two counties (also try Davidson Co.)-I never have and intend to soon as I saw it mentioned as a possible supplement to Rowan-Davie families.Other given names in that area:John,Charles,Andrew,Archibald. I haven't been able to find David in Famsearch. Found Robt.earlier today but can't tell whether he's a keeper (ha) or not.You might try the other given names if you think the area is right.
