My great
grandfather was William Foster Johnston of Clay Cty, NC. Died: 1893.
His
wife was Mary Priscilla Glenn. They had a number of children, and the
ones
I know about are: Robert, Thomas, Zebulon Vance and Andrew Hall. My
grandfather
is Zebulon Vance Johnston who came to Calhoun, Gordon County, Georgia
as
a physician in 1920. His brother, A. Hall, was a lawyer in Ashville
until
about 1940; Thomas was a carpenter and builder and came to Calhoun, GA
in the 1920s and built the first hospital for his brother (it still
stands
and is known as the Johnston-Hall Hospital), he lived in High Point,
NC.
I have learned that William Foster Johnston was born around Ashville,
NC
and in the early 1880s sold his farm near Limestone Community to George
Vanderbilt and moved to Clay County. He is buried in the Methodist
cemetary
in Hayesville, however, his wife, Prescilla is not. I am interested in
knowing where Priscilla is buried and more about William Foster's
ancestors.

JORDAN. They seem to have originated in NC,perhaps in Clay County,
moving
to Carter County, KY in the by the 1840s. Two of their children, Susan
and Burrell, both married STAMPER siblings. Susan was born in NC on
July
14, 1834. She married Andrew Jackson STAMPER on December 16, 1850.
Burrell
FANNIN married Nancy Jane STAMPER on December 19, 1850. Jackson and
Nancy
were the children of John ‘Pewter' STAMPER (who moved from Cherokee
County

Don
Galloway I am searching for the parents of my
great-grandfather,
Weaver H. Galloway.
I know he lived in and was married in Clay County in 1892. His son,
Walter
(my grandfather) was born in Hayesville around 1900. So, I am assuming
that Weaver Galloway was living there, but I don't know if he was born
there, and I haven't been able to find his parents. I live in Ohio, and
any reference material I need from other parts of the country I have to
order through the County library here. I've only been on the Internet
for
a couple of months, and I am amazed at the info that is out there, if
you
know where to look. I stumbled across this location and thought I'd
give
it a try. I am open to any and all suggestions and tips on finding info
on the internet, and if anyone is looking for help in the northern Ohio
area, I will be more than glad to help out.
