Biography
- Mary was born in 1789. She passed away in 1891.
- Parents: Parents: James Buchanan 1761 - 1821 and Elizabeth (Speer) Buchanan 1767 - 1833.

1. William Jackson Johnston 1805 - 1845

- Note: The Allshouse Family History page (link below) states William was born in Ireland and died in Ontario, Canada. Odd to me that he would be born in Ireland since Mary was born and died in Pennsylvania. Need to find some Census records.

- Mary (Buchanan) Johnston: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LZR4-JHM
- Allshouse Family History: Information for Mary (Buchanan) Johnston. Lists her death year as 1791 which other sources have but that would have meant she died at 2 years old and did not marry or have children which there are records for. I found that she died in 1891 so somewhere there may have been a typo and that has gotten passed on? https://www.allshousefamily.org/getperson.php?personID=P12936&tree=Allshouse1
- Allshouse Family History: Information on her grandson, William Johnston - son of William Jackson Johnston and Sarah (Bolen) Johnston. https://www.allshousefamily.org/getperson.php?personID=P12938&tree=Allshouse1
