My records show a Peter JohnsTon (not the "t") being son of James Johnson (no "t")
ReplyDeletePeters gravsstone clearly includes the T whereas James Johnsons gravestone does not have the T. so I'm wondering if he decided to drop it from the family name.
please respond to djohnson43@att.net
David,I sent you a photo of Peter Johnston's grave marker and it clearly shows his name is "Johnston"
ReplyDeleteThanks
James, any thoughts as to why his name included the "T" but other family members did not?
ReplyDeleteDavid thanks for the comment, I have no clue as to why he included the "T" in his name.
