Biography

Margaret was born in 1864 (per her death certificate) in Philadelphia. Her parents were Robert Johnson/Johnston? and Margaret Getty/Getter? both from Ireland. It seems like Margaret (the mother), had a possible brother and his wife living with them in 1870, (they were both carpet weavers from Ireland, as was Robert Crozier, husband of Margaret.)

Maggie married Robert about 1884, and they raised their family in Philadelphia. She passed away in 1941 and her death certificate says she was buried in N Cedar Hill, which is probably North Cedar where Robert is buried.

(Robert Crozier mother was Anna Armstrong per his death cert. See his certificate below)

"I think this is who mom, Margaret Bryant Clark told me was a runaway and Johnson was actually the ships name that she arrived on in the US. This couldn't be the Jeanie Johnson as she sank in 1858 which was before Margaret was born. http://www.jeaniejohnston.ie/ One of her notes has Armstrong as being her maiden name and mom gave me a town name in Ireland but I was unable to find a listing and now I don't remember it :("
