Jennifer, I was able to read them, but my attempts at printing were not very
successful. All of this has prompted me to try to document the information
I have on my Jane Crow JOHNSTON. Most of what I have on her parents and
siblings is not documented. It is possible that the famous cartoonist,
David Claypoole JOHNSTON, may have been her brother. Thank you for this new
information and all the excitement it has created. ... John Walker Taylor,
Pomona Park, Florida
