This profile was initially connected to parents Arthur Johnston (1587-1641) and Barbara Gordon (abt.1600-1650). Since the father supposedly died in 1641, he can't be the father of this person with a 1649 birthdate.

Perhaps birth of one is mixed with death of another? See: Find A Grave: Memorial #147834206 and Ancestry Record 9289 #28528657. Name: John Johnston/ alleged parent of Penelope
