Alma,
From research sence my last posting I found the William Johnston family in 1860
Whitfield, GA -Ruralvale PO, 1850 Murray Co, GA, 1840 Bradley Co, TN. I don't believe
the Buncombe, NC Johnston 1860 is connected. This is what I have so far on this family:
(Jacob H. Johnston is my great grandfather) - Jim Taylor-Irving, TX. - ps: are you
related to the Johnston family?
Descendants of William Johnston

Marker Text: Kimball, one of the first towns in Bosque County, was established at this
site in the early 1850s. One of the westward wagon routes forded the river at this
crossing until a ferry was built in 1865. The famous Chisholm Trail made its major
crossing of the Brazos here. During the 1870s tens of thousands of Texas longhorn cattle
forded the river and were driven to northern markets. Building of barbed wire fences and
railroads in the 1880s caused abandonment of the Chisholm Trail. Kimball, with no railroad
and loss of the cattle trail, became a ghost town by the middle 1900s. (1971)
Marker Text: Often called Chisholm Trail, since it connected with that famous route lying
to the north. At Kimball Crossing (1.3 miles southwest) this trail entered Hill County.
Drovers rested and reshod horses at Towash and Fort Graham, and then forded the Nolan
River into Johnson County.
