General Notes: Husband - Robert Johnston


He and his brother James came from their home in Scotland to America in 1829, and first located in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, where they engaged in coal mining. In the autumn of 1833, they came to Clearfield County, locating in Jordan township, where they purchased land, and in the midst of the forest developed fine farms. The Johnston family was for many generations identified with the Presbyterian Church.

From the almost unbroken forest he developed a fine farm, and so successful was he in his business ventures that he became the owner of several other valuable tracts of land.


Notes: Marriage

Another source states they were married in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
