602	Washington Pioneer Dies at Age of 71 A resident of this county for the past 59 years, and identified as one of the founders of the town of Woodinville, Mrs. Susan Woodin, 71 years of age, passed away Wednesday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Sanders, 2552 Glen Ridge drive, of a complication of diseases and old age. Mrs. Woodin was the first white woman settler, and the first postmistress of the town which bears her name. It grew out of a homestead which she and her husband assumed during the early days. Her husband died in 1908, and is buried in the churchyard, which was, at one time, a part of their farm. source; Obituary of Susan Woodin. Seattle, WA: The Seattle Star, 21 Feb 1919, p. 7.

JOHNSTONE, Gabriel, governor of the province of North Carolina, was born in Scotland in 1699; grandson of James Johnstone, second earl of Annandale. He was a graduate of, and professor of oriental languages in the University of St. Audrews, and subsequently political editor of the Craftsman of London, England. He immigrated to the province of North Carolina about 1730, and settled and made large purchases of land near Wilmington. He was made governor of the province in 1784, as successor to George Barrington, the first governor under the Crown, 1729-84, and he served as such until his death. In 1746 Governor Johnstone displeased the people of the northern sections of the state known as Albemarle county, by proroguing the general assembly convened at New Berne, to meet at Wilmington on Nov. 18, 1746. For eighty years the general assembly had met either at New Berne or Edenton and the thirty-one representatives from Albemarle refused to appear at Wilmington. The twenty-two members for Bath, the southern county of the province, assembled, and the general assembly, so constituted, was recognized by Governor Johnstone and at once proceeded to reduce the representation for the precincts of Albemarle county from five burgesses from each precinct to two, so as to give a majority to the less populous county of Bath. The people of Albemarle county rebelled and refused to appear at musters, attend courts or pay taxes, and this condition continued for eight years. Not a single representative from the Albemarle section during all these years would change his vote in favor of two burgesses from a precinct, and led by Benjamin Hill and others in 1748 or 1749 they preferred three different interests against Governor Johnstone to the home authorities. The Hill charges were: that no quorum was present when the obnoxious law was passed; and that it was passed by surprises, fraud aud trickery. The validity of the act was referred to the attorney and solicitor-general of England. On Dec. 1, 1750, he reported: "The act was passed by management, precipitation and surprise when few members were present and seemed to be of such nature and tendedncy, and to have such effect and operation, that the governor ought not to have assented to them," and the obnoxious law was repealed, April 8, 1754, a solitary instance in the history of the government of provinces by the Crown where the government sustained rebels struggling for constitutional liberty. The want of success in the administration of Governor Johnstone seemed to be his extreme aristocracy and failure to mingle with or recognize the social equality of the people he was sent to govern. His brother, Gilbert, having espoused the cause of the Pretender, was wounded at the battle of Culloden and was forced to flee to America, settling in North Carolina. Governor Johnstone died in Chowan county, N.C., in August, 1752. Source: Johnson, Rossiter (editor). Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans, Vols. 1-10. Boston, MA: The Biographical Society, 1904. "Several years ago in this column I wrote an article on Governor Gabriel Johnston (1699-1752) who was the Colonial governor of North Carolina from 1734 to 1752. Since that time I have run across much data on other members of his family who lived in North Carolina, and too, I have since visited the Johnston family cemetery in Annandale, Scotland. Johnston County was created in 1746, was named for Governor Gabriel Johnston and at first embraced much of Lenoir, Greene, Wayne and Wake counties. The genealogists in Scotland think that the first Johnstons in Scotland came over with William The Conqueror in 1066. The name was originally Johnstone. "The seat of the Johnston Clan is Lockerby, near the center of the district of Annandale, Castle of Lockwood, situated at that place." Huga de Johnstone was Laird in East Lothian, Scotland, in 1214. The generations run thus: John de Johnstone Sr., John de Johnstone Jr.; and seven generations later, there was Sir Adam de Johnstone (1413-1455), and the 17th generation, James Johnstone (1625-1672) became the first Earl of Annandale, Scotland. His son, Captain John Johnstone married Elizabeth Belchier, a French protestant, and had the following children: John, died in Scotland; Gabriel, Governor of North Carolina; Gilbert who married and lived at Brompton in Bladen County; Samuel Johnston, who lived in Onslow County; Elizabeth who married Thomas Kenan. Governor Gabriel Johnston married Penelope Galland, the stepdaughter of Governor Charles Eden and they had one daughter, Penelope, who married John Dawson. Governor Johnston later married Frances Butler." Source Information: Moore, Claude. "The Johnston Family Connection, Our Heritage", Wayne County, North Carolina Heritage Series. USGenweb Archives.

He was educated at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and studied medicine, but is supposed not to have practised. For several years he was professor of oriental languages at St. Andrews. Removing to London, he became distinguished as a man of letters and liberal views, and was engaged with Lord Henry Bolingbroke in writing for the "Craftsman," a political and literary magazine. Emigrating to the United States about 1730 and settling in North Carolina, through the influence of the Earl of Wilmington he was appointed governor of that colony. His administration was successful, the province greatly increasing in wealth, population, and general prosperity under his rule, which continued from his appointment till his death.--His nephew, Samuel, senator, born in Dundee, Scotland, 15 December, 1733; died near Edenton, North Carolina, 18 August, 1816, came to this country in 1736 with his father, John, who settled in North Carolina, and acquired large estates there. Samuel was educated for the bar, and in 1767-'72 was clerk of the superior court of Chowan county, North Carolina, and at the same time a naval officer under the crown. He soon became known as a politician and lawyer, was an ardent patriot, a member of the assembly in 1769, where he was placed on its standing committee of inquiry and correspondence, an active member of the first two Provincial congresses, and presided over the third and fourth. In August, 1775, he was elected chairman of the provincial council, and virtually became governor of the state. He was chosen treasurer of the northern district of North Carolina in September of that year, was a member of the Continental congress of 1781-'2, and in 1788 elected governor of the state, presiding over the convention that failed to ratify the Federal constitution, which he supported with all his influence. In the following year he also presided over the convention that adopted the constitution. In 1789-'93 he was a member of the United States senate, as a Federalist, and in February, 1800, was appointed judge of the superior court, resigning in 1803." Source information: Klos, Sam.

She was not the sister of Gabriel Johnston, nor was Gabriel Johnston the son of John Johnstone, son of James Johnstone and Henrietta Douglas. Their son John is well documented in Burke's Peerage; he had only one child, a daughter whose name is unknown who died before her first birthday. Gabriel never lived in Ireland; he was appointed Governor of North Carolina after establising his reputation in London. Gabriel Johnston was born in Dundee, son of the parish minister. Educated at St. Andrews and Leyden. Medical and language scholar. Professor of Hebrew, St. Andrews 1724. Governor of N.C. 1733. Landed in N.C. 1734. Died 17 January 1752). His sister did not leave Great Britian and did not marry Thomas Kenan. He names her in his will...my sister Elizabeth Smear of Fife, N. Britian, and he left her his gold watch. Elizabeth Johnston is reported to be Gabriel's niece in one book, which may be possible. Obviously, she was related, as Gilbert, Jr, believed she was his aunt. However, his mother was Caroline Johnstone, so maybe Elizabeth was her sister. I'm interested in any thoughts on this...this is my second 'phony' Johnston link...Thomas Johnston, Sr. of Onslow has been reported as Gabriel's brother, but that is also incorrect."

I can say that: Gilbert said his father married Caroline. a. he didn't say she was his mother. b. Do we know, for certain, that Gabriel and Gilbert were brothers? Elizabeth, sister of Gabriel married William Ferriar and did come to live in this country. Her name was not smear. I have examined the originals. We do know that much of the "Carolina Claim" was erroneous, as stated by Hugh Peskett, the genealogist who, being paid to trace the Carolina Claim family of Gilbert back to "Hon. John of Stapleton", just went to the attic of Sit Patrick Hope-J.' family and looked through their trunk, proving that they would have been eligible as next in line, had the line not come through a female. The Lord Lyon, etc., decided they should have it anyway. So, today, Sir Patrick is the heir to the whatever of Annandale. Beverly Shuler, former gen. Clan J. in America."

Genforum.com, April 2, 2005. http://genforum.genealogy.com/johnston/messages/1846.html "Thanks for confirming that my problems with the accepted history are legitimate. "Ferrier" makes more sense that Smear...I've searched high and low for a Fife family with some variation of the "Smear" name. It came from a transcription of his will, obviously not correct. However, she was still in Fife at the time of Gabriel's death in 1752, so she must have emigrated later. I also found a reference that stated Gabriel had two natural children with him when he arrived in this country. Maybe some of the confusion is from that...do you know anything about these children? As to Gilbert, you're right...Gilbert Jr. never said Caroline Johnstone was his mother. I'll revisit what I have concerning Gabriel and Gilbert's relationship to see if anything confirms them as siblings. One of my ancestors is Thomas Johnston of Onslow County...I keep having people tell me he was Gabriel's brother, based on various books. I have found nothing to suggest that's true, and lots to suggest it isn't. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Another ancester appears to be Randall Johnstone of Cumberland county.

609	William Buchanan did not, like his next youngest brother, live to show what he might have become. This other, and perhaps more brilliant member of the family, George W. Buchanan, graduated at Dickinson college in Carlisle, in 1826, at the age of eighteen with the highest honors of his class. Being nearly twenty years younger than James, the latter, after the death of their father, took a parental interest in promoting his prospects, and guiding his professional education. He studied law in Chambersburg and Pittsburgh, and being admitted to the bar in Pittsburgh in 1828, he began to practise there. In the autumn of 1830, as the reader has seen, he was doubtless on his brother's request, appointed by President Jackson United States District Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Probably no man ever received a similar appointment at so early an age; he was only two and twenty; but his letters, some of which have been quoted, show great maturity of character; and as his application for the appointment must have been supported by the influence of other persons as well as by that of his brother, it is safe to assume that the office was in trusted to fit hands. He was already acquiring a lucrative private practice, when, in the summer of 1832, his health began to fail. He died in November of that year, and the following letter of Mr. Buchanan to his brother Edward relates to the sad termination of his illness: ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 9th, N.S. 1832. MY DEAR BROTHER:– I have received your three letters of the 10th and 26th September and of the 12th November: the first on the 21st October, the second not till the 2d instant, and the last on the 28th December. You will thus perceive that the one announcing the death of poor George had a very long passage, having got out of the usual line and lain at Paris a considerable time. I had heard of this melancholy event long before its arrival. How consoling it is to reflect that he had made his peace with Heaven before he departed from earth. All men desire to die the death of the righteous; but a large portion of the human race are unwilling to lead their life. I can say sincerely for myself that I desire to be a Christian, and I think I could withdraw from the vanities and follies of the world without suffering many pangs. I have thought much upon the subject since my arrival in this strange land, and sometimes almost persuade myself that I am a Christian; but I am often haunted by the spirit of scepticism and doubt. My true feeling upon many occasions is: “Lord, I would believe; help Thou mine unbelief.” Yet I am far from being an unbeliever. Ere this reaches you, you will probably have heard of the conclusion of the commercial treaty, which was the principal object of my mission. My success under all the circumstances seems to have been almost providential. I have had many difficulties to contend with and much serious opposition to encounter; but through the blessing of Providence I have been made the instrument of accomplishing a work in which all my predecessors had failed. I trust it will receive the approbation and promote the interests of my country. I entertain some faint hopes that I may be permitted to leave St. Petersburg by the last steamboat of the next season; though it is probable I shall be obliged to remain another winter. Nothing, however, shall detain me longer than two years from the time of my arrival, except an urgent sense of public duty or the request of General Jackson, neither of which I anticipate. My anxiety to return home is increased by the present state of health of mother and Jane. It is not in any degree occasioned by want of kindness on the part of the people here. On the contrary, I am everywhere received in the most polite and friendly manner, and have good reason to believe I am rather a favorite, even with the emperor and empress themselves. I shall undertake to advise you strongly not to remain in Allegheny Town. A letter which I have received from Dr. Yates confirms me in this opinion. I am glad to find this seems to be your own determination. There are but two brothers of us and you ought to use every precaution to preserve your health consistent with your duty. . . . . . . My health is good, thank God, and I trust it may so continue with His blessing until we shall all once more meet again. With much love to mother and the rest of the family, I remain Your affectionate brother, JAMES BUCHANAN source: Curtis, George Ticknor.

610	William Campbell and his wife, Mary Byars, had seven children. The eldest, David Campbell, married Jane Conyngham, a granddaughter of Colonel Patrick Conyngham, whose family lived in Ireland on the river Boyne. The head of the house was Sir Albert Conyngham. Colonel Patrick Conyngham commanded a regiment at the battle of Boyne, 1690. David and Jane Conyngham Campbell had four children. William married Mary Ellison, and was prominent in the Indian and Revolutionary wars.

613	William Campbell, only son of Charles, was born in 1745. In a short time after his father's death, the whole family moved to the Holston, now Washington county, then in Augusta. The oldest daughter, Elizabeth, married John Taylor, and from her the Taylors of Botetourt and Montgomery are descended; the second, Jane, married Thomas Tate; the third, Margaret, married Colonel Arthur Campbell, her second cousin; and the fourth, Ann, married Richard Poston. The wife of Gen. William Campbell was a sister of Patrick Henry, and his only child became the wife of Gen. Francis Preston. He died in 1781, at the age of thirty-six. His widow married General Russell. She was eminently pious, in connection with the Methodist church, and was styled “The Elect Lady,” or Lady Russell. General Campbell rendered distinguished service during the Revolution, besides his exploit at King's Mountain. source: Waddell, Joseph Addison.

614	William Campbell, the eldest son of David, married Mary Ellison. He inherited the whole of his father's property, which left the other children to take care of themselves. His youngest brother, Captain David Campbell, who was born in 1753, married his cousin, Margaret Campbell, daughter of White David and his wife, Mary Hamilton. On July 29, 1799, Captain David Campbell lost his wife, by whom he had eight children, four of whom died in childhood. Jane married Colonel Wright, of the United States army. They left no issue. Mary married her cousin, David Campbell, afterwards Governor of Virginia. They had no children. John entered the regular army and served until the close of the War of 1812, when he retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He left no children. The youngest son, David, was born on March 4, 1781. He married Catherine Bowen, daughter of Captain William Bowen and granddaughter of General William Russell. Captain David Campbell, after the death of his wife, Margaret, married a second time and by this wife had one child, Margaret Lavinia, who married Rev. John Kelly. In 1823 Captain David Campbell removed to Middle Tennessee and lived for a time in Sumner County; then bought a farm in Wilson County, where he died August 18, 1832. It was at their old homestead on Mansker's Creek that their eldest son, William Bowen Campbell, was born. source: Cisco, Jay Guy.

615	William Mallory had, by the heiress of Tempest, seven sons- John, William, Thomas, Christopher, George, Richard, and Henry..... Of these children I have been able to gather the following notices. On Jan. 15th, 1485-6, there is a licence for Chr. Mallory and Isabel Malthouse, of Ripon, to be married in the chapel of the Blessed Virgin there, without asking of banns. (Test. Ebor. iii. 350). Testamenta Eboracensia, a selection of Wills from the Registry at York, Vol. III. The Surtees Society, Vol. 45, for 1864 (published 1865). 1485-6, Jan. 15.

Mallory, William Esq. (I127)
616	WILLIAM MALLORY, ESQ., who thus became lord of Studley, jure uxoris, was the representative of an ancient well-allied family. They became possessed of Hutton Conyers, Yorkshire by the marriage of Sir Christopher Mallory (son of Thomas and a daughter of Lord Zouch) with Joan, daughter and heiress of Robert Conyers, of that place, whose ancestor, Robert Conyers – the representative of the elder branch of Conyers, of Sackburn – possessed it in 1246, as appears by his grant of land there to the church of St. Peter, at York, in that year. Sir Christopher Mallory had issue Sir William, of Hutton, who by his wife Katherine, daughter and co-heiress of Ralph Nunwick, of Nunwick, had William Mallory, who by his marriage with Joan, daughter of Sir William Plumpton, of Plumpton, near Knaresborough, had William Mallory, before mentioned, who married Dionisia Tempest, of Studley. After the family had acquired Studley, it does not appear that they abandoned the manor house at Hutton, but frequented it occasionally until the end of the Sixteenth century, about which time the present building, now used as a farm house, seems to have been erected. A picturesque gable on the north side, and richly ornamented ceiling (the lion of the Mallory arms is displayed in the compartments) in a neglected apartment in the southeast wing remain of this date. Large portions of the rest of the building have been altered in subsequent repairs, and seem to confirm the tradition that the house was set upon in the Civil wars by a troop of Parliamentarians in the absence of the owner, Sir John Mallory, who from his zeal in the Royal cause, must indeed have been particularly obnoxious to them. Several cannon balls and some weapons of war have been found in the fields around. There are also some remains of a rampart of earth, running at right angles on the north and west sides of the garden, which have may have formed part of the agger of the moat to the original structure. The mansion is shaded by a goodly show of great sycamores, which give it a pleasing air of solemnity, and seem still to assert its claim to a rank above that of an ordinary farm house. On Oct. 25, 1458, Archbishop Booth granted an oratory for three years to William Mallory, esq., Dionisia, his wife, and their children (Reg. 204 a) which privilege was renewed to them for the same period on Nov. 17, 1467 (Reg. 57 a.) This was the beginning of the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin at Studley. The will of Mr. Mallory is preserved at York. “In Dei nomine Amen. Ego Willelmus Malliore senior, Armiger.

A nobler, braver, purer Christian hero never lived." Again from Battle's History of UNC: George Burgwyn Johnston Class of 1859. From Edenton. Matriculated 1855. Held rank of captain in the war.

Washington Pioneer Dies at Age of 71

A resident of this county for the past 59 years, and identified as one of the founders of the town of Woodinville, Mrs. Susan Woodin, 71 years of age, passed away Wednesday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Sanders, 2552 Glen Ridge drive, of a complication of diseases and old age.

Mrs. Woodin was the first white woman settler, and the first postmistress of the town which bears her name. It grew out of a homestead which she and her husband assumed during the early days. Her husband died in 1908, and is buried in the churchyard, which was, at one time, a part of their farm.

Whether the Campbells, Montgomerys, and Hamiltons were known to each other in Ireland, tradition does not tell. We find from these Campbells Duncan Campbell, whose son, John Campbell, came from Donegal, Ireland, and settled in Donegal township, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. His descendants passed down the valley of the Shenandoah to South-western Virginia, where we find among the branches on an old family tree, revived and added to from time to time, General William Campbell, of King's Mountain fame, and his grandson Wm. C. Preston; the brothers, Colonel Arthur and Captain John Campbell, of Virginia (the latter of whom was the father of Governor David Campbell, of Virginia); Judge David, of the State of Franklin, afterward the State of Tennessee, with their cousin and brother-in-law, Colonel David, of Campbell's station, East Tennessee; his son, General John Campbell, of the War of 1812; grandson, Governor William B. Campbell of Tennessee. Another branch bears upon it the name of the gallant Confederate, General Alex. W. Campbell, of West Tennessee, Scotch Irish on both sides.

JOHNSTONE, Gabriel, governor of the province of North Carolina, was born in Scotland in 1699; grandson of James Johnstone, second earl of Annandale. He was a graduate of, and professor of oriental languages in the University of St. Audrews, and subsequently political editor of the Craftsman of London, England. He immigrated to the province of North Carolina about 1730, and settled and made large purchases of land near Wilmington. He was made governor of the province in 1784, as successor to George Barrington, the first governor under the Crown, 1729-84, and he served as such until his death. In 1746 Governor Johnstone displeased the people of the northern sections of the state known as Albemarle county, by proroguing the general assembly convened at New Berne, to meet at Wilmington on Nov. 18, 1746. For eighty years the general assembly had met either at New Berne or Edenton and the thirty-one representatives from Albemarle refused to appear at Wilmington. The twenty-two members for Bath, the southern county of the province, assembled, and the general assembly, so constituted, was recognized by Governor Johnstone and at once proceeded to reduce the representation for the precincts of Albemarle county from five burgesses from each precinct to two, so as to give a majority to the less populous county of Bath. The people of Albemarle county rebelled and refused to appear at musters, attend courts or pay taxes, and this condition continued for eight years. Not a single representative from the Albemarle section during all these years would change his vote in favor of two burgesses from a precinct, and led by Benjamin Hill and others in 1748 or 1749 they preferred three different interests against Governor Johnstone to the home authorities. The Hill charges were: that no quorum was present when the obnoxious law was passed; and that it was passed by surprises, fraud aud trickery. The validity of the act was referred to the attorney and solicitor-general of England. On Dec. 1, 1750, he reported: "The act was passed by management, precipitation and surprise when few members were present and seemed to be of such nature and tendedncy, and to have such effect and operation, that the governor ought not to have assented to them," and the obnoxious law was repealed, April 8, 1754, a solitary instance in the history of the government of provinces by the Crown where the government sustained rebels struggling for constitutional liberty. The want of success in the administration of Governor Johnstone seemed to be his extreme aristocracy and failure to mingle with or recognize the social equality of the people he was sent to govern. His brother, Gilbert, having espoused the cause of the Pretender, was wounded at the battle of Culloden and was forced to flee to America, settling in North Carolina. Governor Johnstone died in Chowan county, N.C., in August, 1752.

"Several years ago in this column I wrote an article on Governor Gabriel Johnston (1699-1752) who was the Colonial governor of North Carolina from 1734 to 1752. Since that time I have run across much data on other members of his family who lived in North Carolina, and too, I have since visited the Johnston family cemetery in Annandale, Scotland. Johnston County was created in 1746, was named for Governor Gabriel Johnston and at first embraced much of Lenoir, Greene, Wayne and Wake counties.

The genealogists in Scotland think that the first Johnstons in Scotland came over with William The Conqueror in 1066. The name was originally Johnstone. "The seat of the Johnston Clan is Lockerby, near the center of the district of Annandale, Castle of Lockwood, situated at that place." Huga de Johnstone was Laird in East Lothian, Scotland, in 1214. The generations run thus: John de Johnstone Sr., John de Johnstone Jr.; and seven generations later, there was Sir Adam de Johnstone (1413-1455), and the 17th generation, James Johnstone (1625-1672) became the first Earl of Annandale, Scotland. His son, Captain John Johnstone married Elizabeth Belchier, a French protestant, and had the following children: John, died in Scotland; Gabriel, Governor of North Carolina; Gilbert who married and lived at Brompton in Bladen County; Samuel Johnston, who lived in Onslow County; Elizabeth who married Thomas Kenan. Governor Gabriel Johnston married Penelope Galland, the stepdaughter of Governor Charles Eden and they had one daughter, Penelope, who married John Dawson. Governor Johnston later married Frances Butler."

"JOHNSTON, Gabriel, governor of North Carolina, born in Scotland in 1699; died in Chowan county, North Carolina, in August, 1752. He was educated at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and studied medicine, but is supposed not to have practised. For several years he was professor of oriental languages at St. Andrews. Removing to London, he became distinguished as a man of letters and liberal views, and was engaged with Lord Henry Bolingbroke in writing for the "Craftsman," a political and literary magazine. Emigrating to the United States about 1730 and settling in North Carolina, through the influence of the Earl of Wilmington he was appointed governor of that colony. His administration was successful, the province greatly increasing in wealth, population, and general prosperity under his rule, which continued from his appointment till his death.--His nephew, Samuel, senator, born in Dundee, Scotland, 15 December, 1733; died near Edenton, North Carolina, 18 August, 1816, came to this country in 1736 with his father, John, who settled in North Carolina, and acquired large estates there. Samuel was educated for the bar, and in 1767-'72 was clerk of the superior court of Chowan county, North Carolina, and at the same time a naval officer under the crown. He soon became known as a politician and lawyer, was an ardent patriot, a member of the assembly in 1769, where he was placed on its standing committee of inquiry and correspondence, an active member of the first two Provincial congresses, and presided over the third and fourth. In August, 1775, he was elected chairman of the provincial council, and virtually became governor of the state. He was chosen treasurer of the northern district of North Carolina in September of that year, was a member of the Continental congress of 1781-'2, and in 1788 elected governor of the state, presiding over the convention that failed to ratify the Federal constitution, which he supported with all his influence. In the following year he also presided over the convention that adopted the constitution. In 1789-'93 he was a member of the United States senate, as a Federalist, and in February, 1800, was appointed judge of the superior court, resigning in 1803."

"Gabriel, eldest son of John, inaugurated "The Craftsman," a Jacobite political journal, in collaboration with his relative William Johnston, Earl of Bath, and Bolingbroke. By influence thus gained he was in 1724, at the instance of Lord Wilmington, sent to North Carolina as royal governor to succeed the unpopular Burrington. This fact was to be of great importance in the subsequent history of the Annandales."

"The lineage connected to Elizabeth Johnstone, wife of Thomas Kenan, is incorrect. She was not the sister of Gabriel Johnston, nor was Gabriel Johnston the son of John Johnstone, son of James Johnstone and Henrietta Douglas. Their son John is well documented in Burke's Peerage; he had only one child, a daughter whose name is unknown who died before her first birthday. Gabriel never lived in Ireland; he was appointed Governor of North Carolina after establising his reputation in London.

Gabriel Johnston was born in Dundee, son of the parish minister. Educated at St. Andrews and Leyden. Medical and language scholar. Professor of Hebrew, St. Andrews 1724. Governor of N.C. 1733. Landed in N.C. 1734. Died 17 January 1752). His sister did not leave Great Britian and did not marry Thomas Kenan. He names her in his will...my sister Elizabeth Smear of Fife, N. Britian, and he left her his gold watch.

Elizabeth Johnston is reported to be Gabriel's niece in one book, which may be possible. Obviously, she was related, as Gilbert, Jr, believed she was his aunt. However, his mother was Caroline Johnstone, so maybe Elizabeth was her sister. I'm interested in any thoughts on this...this is my second 'phony' Johnston link...Thomas Johnston, Sr. of Onslow has been reported as Gabriel's brother, but that is also incorrect."

"I have worked on this puzzle for years. I can say that: Gilbert said his father married Caroline. a. he didn't say she was his mother. b. Do we know, for certain, that Gabriel and Gilbert were brothers? Elizabeth, sister of Gabriel married William Ferriar and did come to live in this country. Her name was not smear. I have examined the originals. We do know that much of the "Carolina Claim" was erroneous, as stated by Hugh Peskett, the genealogist who, being paid to trace the Carolina Claim family of Gilbert back to "Hon. John of Stapleton", just went to the attic of Sit Patrick Hope-J.' family and looked through their trunk, proving that they would have been eligible as next in line, had the line not come through a female. The Lord Lyon, etc., decided they should have it anyway. So, today, Sir Patrick is the heir to the whatever of Annandale. Beverly Shuler, former gen. Clan J. in America."

"Thanks for confirming that my problems with the accepted history are legitimate. "Ferrier" makes more sense that Smear...I've searched high and low for a Fife family with some variation of the "Smear" name. It came from a transcription of his will, obviously not correct. However, she was still in Fife at the time of Gabriel's death in 1752, so she must have emigrated later. I also found a reference that stated Gabriel had two natural children with him when he arrived in this country. Maybe some of the confusion is from that...do you know anything about these children? As to Gilbert, you're right...Gilbert Jr. never said Caroline Johnstone was his mother. I'll revisit what I have concerning Gabriel and Gilbert's relationship to see if anything confirms them as siblings. One of my ancestors is Thomas Johnston of Onslow County...I keep having people tell me he was Gabriel's brother, based on various books. I have found nothing to suggest that's true, and lots to suggest it isn't. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Another ancester appears to be Randall Johnstone of Cumberland county. Thanks, Gwen"

William Buchanan did not, like his next youngest brother, live to show what he might have become. This other, and perhaps more brilliant member of the family, George W. Buchanan, graduated at Dickinson college in Carlisle, in 1826, at the age of eighteen with the highest honors of his class. Being nearly twenty years younger than James, the latter, after the death of their father, took a parental interest in promoting his prospects, and guiding his professional education. He studied law in Chambersburg and Pittsburgh, and being admitted to the bar in Pittsburgh in 1828, he began to practise there. In the autumn of 1830, as the reader has seen, he was doubtless on his brother's request, appointed by President Jackson United States District Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Probably no man ever received a similar appointment at so early an age; he was only two and twenty; but his letters, some of which have been quoted, show great maturity of character; and as his application for the appointment must have been supported by the influence of other persons as well as by that of his brother, it is safe to assume that the office was in trusted to fit hands. He was already acquiring a lucrative private practice, when, in the summer of 1832, his health began to fail. He died in November of that year, and the following letter of Mr. Buchanan to his brother Edward relates to the sad termination of his illness:

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 9th, N.S. 1832.

MY DEAR BROTHER:–

I have received your three letters of the 10th and 26th September and of the 12th November: the first on the 21st October, the second not till the 2d instant, and the last on the 28th December. You will thus perceive that the one announcing the death of poor George had a very long passage, having got out of the usual line and lain at Paris a considerable time. I had heard of this melancholy event long before its arrival. How consoling it is to reflect that he had made his peace with Heaven before he departed from earth. All men desire to die the death of the righteous; but a large portion of the human race are unwilling to lead their life. I can say sincerely for myself that I desire to be a Christian, and I think I could withdraw from the vanities and follies of the world without suffering many pangs. I have thought much upon the subject since my arrival in this strange land, and sometimes almost persuade myself that I am a Christian; but I am often haunted by the spirit of scepticism and doubt. My true feeling upon many occasions is: “Lord, I would believe; help Thou mine unbelief.” Yet I am far from being an unbeliever.

Ere this reaches you, you will probably have heard of the conclusion of the commercial treaty, which was the principal object of my mission. My success under all the circumstances seems to have been almost providential. I have had many difficulties to contend with and much serious opposition to encounter; but through the blessing of Providence I have been made the instrument of accomplishing a work in which all my predecessors had failed. I trust it will receive the approbation and promote the interests of my country.

I entertain some faint hopes that I may be permitted to leave St. Petersburg by the last steamboat of the next season; though it is probable I shall be obliged to remain another winter. Nothing, however, shall detain me longer than two years from the time of my arrival, except an urgent sense of public duty or the request of General Jackson, neither of which I anticipate. My anxiety to return home is increased by the present state of health of mother and Jane. It is not in any degree occasioned by want of kindness on the part of the people here. On the contrary, I am everywhere received in the most polite and friendly manner, and have good reason to believe I am rather a favorite, even with the emperor and empress themselves.

I shall undertake to advise you strongly not to remain in Allegheny Town. A letter which I have received from Dr. Yates confirms me in this opinion. I am glad to find this seems to be your own determination. There are but two brothers of us and you ought to use every precaution to preserve your health consistent with your duty. . . . . . .

My health is good, thank God, and I trust it may so continue with His blessing until we shall all once more meet again. With much love to mother and the rest of the family, I remain

Your affectionate brother,

JAMES BUCHANAN

William Campbell and his wife, Mary Byars, had seven children. The eldest, David Campbell, married Jane Conyngham, a granddaughter of Colonel Patrick Conyngham, whose family lived in Ireland on the river Boyne. The head of the house was Sir Albert Conyngham. Colonel Patrick Conyngham commanded a regiment at the battle of Boyne, 1690.

David and Jane Conyngham Campbell had four children. William married Mary Ellison, and was prominent in the Indian and Revolutionary wars. His two brothers-in-law, Captain William Ellison, who married Mary Campbell, and Major John Morrison, who married Martha Campbell, were also patriotic defenders of their liberty in the same war.

William Campbell, only son of Charles, was born in 1745. In a short time after his father's death, the whole family moved to the Holston, now Washington county, then in Augusta. The oldest daughter, Elizabeth, married John Taylor, and from her the Taylors of Botetourt and Montgomery are descended; the second, Jane, married Thomas Tate; the third, Margaret, married Colonel Arthur Campbell, her second cousin; and the fourth, Ann, married Richard Poston.

The wife of Gen. William Campbell was a sister of Patrick Henry, and his only child became the wife of Gen. Francis Preston. He died in 1781, at the age of thirty-six. His widow married General Russell. She was eminently pious, in connection with the Methodist church, and was styled “The Elect Lady,” or Lady Russell. General Campbell rendered distinguished service during the Revolution, besides his exploit at King's Mountain.

William Campbell, the eldest son of David, married Mary Ellison. He inherited the whole of his father's property, which left the other children to take care of themselves. His youngest brother, Captain David Campbell, who was born in 1753, married his cousin, Margaret Campbell, daughter of White David and his wife, Mary Hamilton. On July 29, 1799, Captain David Campbell lost his wife, by whom he had eight children, four of whom died in childhood. Jane married Colonel Wright, of the United States army. They left no issue. Mary married her cousin, David Campbell, afterwards Governor of Virginia. They had no children. John entered the regular army and served until the close of the War of 1812, when he retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He left no children. The youngest son, David, was born on March 4, 1781. He married Catherine Bowen, daughter of Captain William Bowen and granddaughter of General William Russell. Captain David Campbell, after the death of his wife, Margaret, married a second time and by this wife had one child, Margaret Lavinia, who married Rev. John Kelly. In 1823 Captain David Campbell removed to Middle Tennessee and lived for a time in Sumner County; then bought a farm in Wilson County, where he died August 18, 1832. It was at their old homestead on Mansker's Creek that their eldest son, William Bowen Campbell, was born.

William Mallory had, by the heiress of Tempest, seven sons- John, William, Thomas, Christopher, George, Richard, and Henry.....

Of these children I have been able to gather the following notices. On Jan. 15th, 1485-6, there is a licence for Chr. Mallory and Isabel Malthouse, of Ripon, to be married in the chapel of the Blessed Virgin there, without asking of banns. (Test. Ebor. iii. 350).

Mallory, William Esq. (I127)

616

WILLIAM MALLORY, ESQ., who thus became lord of Studley, jure uxoris, was the representative of an ancient well-allied family. They became possessed of Hutton Conyers, Yorkshire by the marriage of Sir Christopher Mallory (son of Thomas and a daughter of Lord Zouch) with Joan, daughter and heiress of Robert Conyers, of that place, whose ancestor, Robert Conyers – the representative of the elder branch of Conyers, of Sackburn – possessed it in 1246, as appears by his grant of land there to the church of St. Peter, at York, in that year.

Sir Christopher Mallory had issue Sir William, of Hutton, who by his wife Katherine, daughter and co-heiress of Ralph Nunwick, of Nunwick, had William Mallory, who by his marriage with Joan, daughter of Sir William Plumpton, of Plumpton, near Knaresborough, had William Mallory, before mentioned, who married Dionisia Tempest, of Studley.

After the family had acquired Studley, it does not appear that they abandoned the manor house at Hutton, but frequented it occasionally until the end of the Sixteenth century, about which time the present building, now used as a farm house, seems to have been erected. A picturesque gable on the north side, and richly ornamented ceiling (the lion of the Mallory arms is displayed in the compartments) in a neglected apartment in the southeast wing remain of this date. Large portions of the rest of the building have been altered in subsequent repairs, and seem to confirm the tradition that the house was set upon in the Civil wars by a troop of Parliamentarians in the absence of the owner, Sir John Mallory, who from his zeal in the Royal cause, must indeed have been particularly obnoxious to them. Several cannon balls and some weapons of war have been found in the fields around. There are also some remains of a rampart of earth, running at right angles on the north and west sides of the garden, which have may have formed part of the agger of the moat to the original structure. The mansion is shaded by a goodly show of great sycamores, which give it a pleasing air of solemnity, and seem still to assert its claim to a rank above that of an ordinary farm house.

On Oct. 25, 1458, Archbishop Booth granted an oratory for three years to William Mallory, esq., Dionisia, his wife, and their children (Reg. 204 a) which privilege was renewed to them for the same period on Nov. 17, 1467 (Reg. 57 a.) This was the beginning of the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin at Studley.

The will of Mr. Mallory is preserved at York.

“In Dei nomine Amen. Ego Willelmus Malliore senior, Armiger. Sepel iendumin eccles. S. Petri Ripon Coram altare B. Mariae. Optimum animae nomine mortuam.

Mallory and Isabel Malthouse, of Ripon, to be married in the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin there, without asking the bans. (Test. Ebor III, 350). In 1473 a Chr. Maulore, gent became a member of the Corpus Christi Guild at York, V. Richard. In 1506-7 the will of Richard Mallory was proved by George Mallory, esq., his brother and executor (Ripon Chapter Act Book, 329). In 1475 a Richard Mallory, gent, became a member of the Corpus Christi Guild at York. VI. Henry, VII. Margaret, named Sir John Constable, of Halsham, Knight, and without issue.

WILLIAM POWELL.

Capt. William Powell came to Virginia with Gates in 1610, was commander of the fort at Jamestown, and was one of the first two representatives for James City Corporation in the General Assembly, 1619. He repelled the Indians when they attacked Jamestown in 1622. He afterward led an expedition against the Chickahominies, and was probably killed by them between January 20 and January 24, 1623. His widow married Edward Blaney. The family seems to have come from Southwark in the County of Surry, England.

The following notes are from the records of Surry County, Virginia. Southwark Parish in that County, and the County itself appears to have obtained their names from Capt. Powell.

[FamilyTree.FTW]

from a piece written by Gen. H Lane - Charlotte Observer 1895
"Company G, which was cut off from the regiment at Kinney's, can never forget how their brave, but frail and delicate young captain George B Johnston, afterward the accomplished adjutant-general of the brigade, swam the river to escape the enemy, and then swam back rather than appear to have deserted his men; how he marched as a prisoner of war from Kinney's farm to West Point in his wet clothes; how he was confined on Johnson's Island; how he read the Episcopal service regularly to his fellow-prisoners there; how he endeared himself to all in his captivity; how he was joyfully welcomed back to camp; and how, a physical wreck, he was soon forced to return home to die. A nobler, braver, purer Christian hero never lived."

Again from Battle's History of UNC:
George Burgwyn Johnston Class of 1859. From Edenton. Matriculated 1855.
