Notes

Note NI383Sarah "Sallie" Johnston's origins are in question - some believe her to be the daughter of John Johnston & Mary Ann Hodges. I do not believe there is enough evidence to indicate the 90 year old Mary Johnston living with Sarah & Edward in 1860 was one and the same person as Mary Ann Hodges. 1

Another possibility for her origins is Duplin County, NC. Edward E. Houston's brother James was married to Isabella Johnston. I believe her mother was also named Sarah. I think there may be a possibility that Edward E. Houston's third wife, Sarah Johnston was a sister or closely related to Isabella.
