General Notes: Husband - Rev. John Johnston

---

He was born near the city of Belfast, Ireland, and came to America about 1784. He was installed pastor of the Hart's Log and Shaver's Creek Presbyterian congregations in November, 1787, and of Huntingdon soon thereafter. He married and for a short time resided in Shaver's Creek Valley. Soon thereafter he moved to Huntingdon, and resided at the southeastern corner of Second and Penn Streets, where he later died. [HHC 1883, 56]

He was of Scotch-Irish descent, and came from Belfast, Ireland, when a young man; was pastor in the Presbyterian church at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, from 1790 to 1823, a period of thirty-three years, and was the first pastor of that church.

He was a celebrated Presbyterian clergyman of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, and moved to Hollidaysburg, Blair County, where he died. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and equally active in waging battle against the enemies of the gospel. [HIC 1913, 647]
