I'm searching for information on Johnathan C. Johnston, b. ca. 1833 in Delaware, possible father was Joseph Johnston. A possible brother may have been William b. ca. 1829 in Delaware. John married Durinda Pruder who was born in New Jersey, marriage date and location unknown. They then moved to Ohio, date and location unknown. They are said to have had a rather large family. I came across a Jonathan C. Johnston, b. ca. 1850 to Joseph E. Johnston and Mary Ann McCormick. The coincidence in the names caught my attention, but there was no other information on them.

Any and all information and assistance will be appreciated.

Y-DNA testing has shown that this family line belongs to the Johnstons in Poldean of Scotland. Our group site may be viewed here:
