General Notes: Husband - Robert Johnston


He was born on the family farm in Peters township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and during his earlier years assisted his father with the work on the place. He married and they began housekeeping on a farm which he had purchased of his father, near Canonsburg, Washington County. In 1863 he bought 141 acres of land in North Strabane township, to which he removed in the autumn of that year.
The family were members of the First Presbyterian Church at Canonsburg, and Mr. Johnston took an active part in questions of public interest, and served in various township offices.
