Johnstons from Seward, AK
In 1998 I posted a query to this forum:
My William Johnston/Johnson also came to Ontario. We believe his middle initial was B. and he was a carpenter. His first wife was named Miranda/Amanda LUCAS. Around the time of her death he moved to Michigan (Flint area) and married Matilda McFADDEN RUSSELL of Sligo, IRELAND.
-------------------------
I just want to let any other descendants of this family know that Judy Driscoll and I have the line way back to Elgin Co., Ontario, Canada now.It was actually Johnson.For some reason, William changed his name to Johnston when we came to Michigan.
Bruce Johnson has helped us with Elgin Co. and Irish
information.
We have the Lucas/Russell family in the same area in Elgin Co. and back across Canada to the Revolution where the the Lucases and Scotts were Loyalists.....quite a story, since their line goes down into Colonial New England.
