He was a confederate and held slaves (!). He was quite well-off it seems as I found his father, my great-great-great-great grandfather in the Georgia census in the 1800's.

I do not know what happened but his daughter, my great great grandmother was said to be born in Arkansas. Was she?

My cousin doesn't seem to know (she is about 80 years old).

It was a shock I tell you, a shock.

His name was William Johnston.

It is amazing I found a picture of him IMO!



Great info. you have there too!

Keep looking.

Seek and ye shall find!
