General Notes: Husband - Alexander Johnston

---

A native of Ireland, he came to America when about nineteen years of age, and not long after his arrival emigrated to western Pennsylvania. He located for a time on Chartiers Creek, in Washington County, and engaged in the business of peddling goods through the farming districts. In this he continued till 1808, when he came to Connellsville, Fayette County, purchased the property on Spring Street which became known as the Johnston homestead (later occupied by J. D. Frisbie and Capt. J. M. Morrow), and commenced the business of merchandising. He remained in the mercantile business there till 1846, when he was succeeded by his son Joseph, who was there until 1849, when he built another house (later occupied by J. D. Frisbie) and lived there and kept a store until 1858, when he went out of business.
