About Edward Johnston, of New Kent
Biography
Edward Johnston, of New Kent was born on April 21, 1649 in Aberdeen City, Scotland, United Kingdom.
Edward married Elizabeth Johnston circa 1676. Together they had the following children: The avatar book shows daughter Penelope (Johnson) Clark as married to Capt. Clark. Thomas Johnson; Capt. William Johnston; Rachel Johnson; Arthur Johnson, Sr.; Elizabeth Johnston; Benjamin Johnson; Rebecca Hix; Michael Johnson; Anthony Johnson; John Johnson; Robert Allin Johnson.
He died on May 4, 1704 in New Kent County, Virginia.
There is no contemporary or near-contemporary evidence of his ancestry. Dr Arthur Johnston was proposed as the father of Edward in the book by Dr Lorand Johnson, The descendants of William and John Johnson, colonial Friends ... Johnson, Lorand V. (Lorand Victor), 1905-1986. Dr Johnson's proof of this relationship rested upon a letter said to be written by Elizabeth Johnston Keith. A search of the Friends House Quaker library in London where the letter was said to be contained failed to find any such letter or any reference to it in their catalog, which casts doubt on Dr Arthur Johnston being his father.
He might have been the Edward Johnson who arrived in Virginia in 1664. By 1677, Edward was in Blissland Parish, New Kent County, Virginia, where he signed his name to a list of grievances presented to the King's Commissioners who had come to investigate the causes of rebellion.
Edward married Elizabeth Walker in 1677 in St Peters Parish, New Kent, Virginia Colony. Her maiden name is thought to be Walker based on circumstantial evidence. Walker was given as her maiden name in the book of Dr. Lorand Johnson based on circumstantial evidence. St Peter's parish records indicate that Elizabeth Johnson died Feb 20, 1725.
