William Johnston
Birth 1 Dec 1697
Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
Death 20 Mar 1769 (aged 71)
Orange County, Virginia, USA
William Johnston may have had up to 3 wives. The 1st, Ann Mary Chew. She died in 1742. The 2nd, Elizabeth (maiden name unknown, 1744. The 3rd, Betty/Betsy Wyatt Taylor, widow, 1748/49.
There is evidence of a christening of a William Johnston in New Kent County in August 1697. But this doesn't jive with our William Johnston being born on Dec. 1, 1697.
One researcher has stated he has seen a DAR certified copy of a marriage document between William Johnston and Ann Chew....and his name was listed as Sir William Johnston. Other researchers use the name Capt. William Johnston, still others use the name Lord William Johnston.
This comes from the Will of one of his sons, Larkin Chew Jr. (1698-1770)"my body to be interred by my deceased father (William) on the land I gave Beverley Stanard. (which was 528 acres in 1852.)The above information was written by Mickey Crimm (#47282012).
