>> Hello,

>>
>>
>> William Johnston - Gloucester- I think death Oct 1842 Maybe in
>> Bytown Gazette. Death records should be in St.
>> Andrew's Presbyterian in Bytown as
>> the South Gloucester log church didn't start regular services

>> 1845. William had a son in 1841 and
>> was deceased before his father wrote his will in 1844.
>>
>> William Johnston and Elizabeth Mitchell - marriage - Oct 19, 1837
>> St.Andrew's Presbyterian in Bytown (want to know
>> both sets of parents but especially
>> Elizabeth's as I am pretty sure of William's). I do have the
>> marriage
>> record.
>>
>> John Johnston - Gloucester - death July or Aug 1845 (will
>> registered Aug 23, 1845) want parents and/or place of birth
>> and/or date of birth. John was not on
>> 1851 Census for Gloucester Township so definitely dead before
>> then. John donated some of his land
>> for the original St. Andrew's Presbyterian log church and
>> graveyard at Johnston's Corners. He
>> was my ggg grandfather.

>> Any help appreciated.
