General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Johnston

---

This family was originally from Annandale, Scotland, where they at one time possessed the valuable estates of Brackenside. The head of the house, Alexander Johnston, however, was killed at the battle of Fontenoy, on the 30th of April, 1745, where he was serving as a captain of Welsh Fusiliers in the British service. The estate then fell into dispute, and finally, through political strife, was lost. The family subsequently removed to Ireland and settled in County Fermanagh. ²
