I have not ...Oh, this family has been rather tough. I have not found many of the children's death certificates. One was the son born in Mississippi, so that wasn't helpful for finding the area in Alabama. With the father's death so young, the children probably have no real knowledge of where he was from. I can always hope to someday find a bible record. Thanks for stopping by.Lisa S.

Can you find death ...So he disappeared in reverse? Can you find death certificates for any of his children -- or did they die too young? Those records might (maybe, possibly) give location of birth. It's hard when you don't know where he was before 1850. You don't say when his children were born, just in Alabama. And with a name like Johnston there could be a lot of variations.

As for 1840, he might be in South Carolina (where he and wife were born) or Alabama (where children were born) or somewhere in-between. When I'm not busy with my current project, I'll go back to working on it.Lisa S.

Could his name have been really mangled on the 1840 census and mis-indexed? I would definitely leave no stone unturned in Yalobusha County.
