Surname: Johnston, Riddle
-------------------------
I am attempting to track Andrew K. JOHNSTON (b.
in June of 1838 in Mahoning Co. OH), the son of
Thomas JOHNSTON and Martha RIDDLE. He is found
in Wells Co. IN in the 1880 census (ed=141,
sheet=40, line=31) as a farmer living with wife
Margaret J. (40), son Rollen E. (12), son Thomas O.
(8), daughter Mary S. (1), and daughter Carrite (?) A.
(18). The family was living in Ossian.
He last appears in the 1900 census (ed=146, sheet=8,
line=64, for Wells Co. IN) as Andrew K. JOHNSTON with
no children at home in Ossian.
Does anyone know anything about this family other
than what appears in these census records?
It is unclear to me where the children went and what
happened to the family.
Thanks for your help!
