I think I might be the great great grandaughter of Francis and Frances Johnston. Also known as Frank and Fannie. My Great Grandfather was also named Archibald (there are certainly alot of Archies in this family) son of Francis and Frances. He was born in Prescott on Dec 24/1840 and moved to Harvey Township which is north of Peterboro around 184l. He married Mary Jane Wallace Aug 9th 1865.Although there is no mention of Francis and Frances in that area, I can't imagine Archie moving there by himself when he was about a year old.
They had a daughter Frances born around 1867
Walter b. 1868
Robert b. 1870
Frederick b. 1873
Arnold Alvin b. 1875
Herbert b. 1880
I think there were a few more who probably died as infants.
I havent been able to place any native blood in this branch of the family but you only have to look at some of the pictures to know its there somewhere.
Alvin was my Grandfather who married Susannah Reber in 1904. They had a number of children,twins William and Marge being the youngest. William was my father.
Alvin died in a sanitarium in Toronto from TB around 1922 shortly after the twins were born.
Archibald and Mary Jane Johnston are buried in Sandy Lake Cemetery in Harvey Township.
