I have strong autosomal matches with Johnston's of Scotland to VA to NC. I wonder where the Scotland to Onslow to Newberry connection is.

Are the VA and NC lines closely related?

John Samuel Johnston of or John Stanley Johnston Craig related?

Major John Samuel Johnston of Stapleton related?

I believe this was an orphaned profile that I adopted while trying to track down my Lamb family ancestors. I've not done much work on it, and it looks like whoever created it didn't source it properly. Glad to hear any knowledge you have about this person.

Birthdate may be wrong.

1669-1752 may be right?


Son of John Samuel Johnston? 1649-1716 ?

Grandson of Thomas Johnston and Mrs. Irvine?
