MARY JOHNSTON MONTGOMERY 1761 - 1847 Johnston is another common name and so hard to trace.  According to the History of Washington County, PA, William Johnston, Mary's dad, was there around 1778 and a year later had about 400 acres.  He was a Justice of the Peace.

Mary had two sisters and two brothers. She and her sister Nancy married Montgomery brothers and her sister, Janet, married a Cunningham. The girls and their father moved to Nelson County, KY at some point, but the boys stayed in Pennsylvania. William died in Nelson County about 1813. Mary and her husband had moved on up across the Ohio River to Clark County, Indiana where many of their 13 children married. Clark County was home to many descendants of Mary and William.

Mary's father must have been fairly well off according to his will. He left Mary's husband, William, over seven hundred dollars but left his own son, John, only one dollar. He also mentioned two books in his will that he left to his grandchildren: "History of Redemption: and "Affiliation Mans Companion."

Mary's husband, William, was 10 years older than she was. He died in 1829, made many bequests in his will, and bequeathed to Mary "the mansion house in which I now live." He also directed two of his sons to "support and maintain" their mother.

A tombstone in Clark County reads, "Mary, Wife of William Montgomery, Died Sept 1 1847, 85 Yrs."
