General Notes: Husband - Charles Johnston

He was born in Ireland, there reared and educated, married in Scotland, and upon their arrival in America they settled in the vicinity of Homestead, Pennsylvania, opposite McKeesport, where he was a farmer and distiller. Later he purchased the property on which his grandson, Benjamin H. Johnston, would later reside, a tract of four hundred acres, formerly the property of a Mr. Powell, and subsequently purchased one hundred and forty acres adjoining, formerly the property of a Mr. McDonald, also one hundred and eighty-six acres in Plum township, where he followed the same lines of work, and resided at the time of his death on the Powell tract.

He was of Scotch-Irish stock and in 1795 emigrated to the United States. He settled first at what was known as the "Neck," on the banks of the Monongahela river, where the Duquesne Steel Works were later situated.
