Message Board Post:
greetings. My g-grandfather, Nathaniel B. Johnston was born in 1829 and raised by John
Burns in Clinton Co In. They both got into trouble for stealing shoes and in Oct 1848,
both Nathaniel and John stood before the judge in Frankfort. I've long been trying to
figure out how John ended up being nate's guardian; perhaps John married nate's
widowed mother who would of course been a Johnston. I have the court records if you'd
like to see them. I have no record of John marrying Nate's mom though.
Rich Johnston
