Hello, Rick,

I also believe I am descended from David and Margaret (Nixon) Johnston of
Hunterdon County, but I've been unable to find a list of their children. Do
you have any information on their offspring? My Bible of Samuel and Susanna
Teeter Johnston says that Samuel's parents were a David and Margaret
Johnston, and my Samuel was born 1781, so the time frame is right. I've
found evidence of my Samuel and Susanna in Warren and Hunterdon Counties, so
I think I'm on the right track. If this is not too nosy, how do you know
that you are a descendent of David Johnston? Thanks for any information you
can give me!
