Margaret Crawford [Johnston] Adams was the daughter of Samuel Johnston (1769 Ireland - 1853 Winnsboro, Fairfield County, South Carolina) and Elizabeth [Crawford] Johnston (1830 SC - 1909 SC), both are buried in Sion Presbyterian Cemetery, Winnsboro, Fairfield County, SC.
Mentioned the grandparents only because they are buried in the same Sion Presbyterian Cemetery and the grandfather is a long forgotten Fairfield politician while the parents are buried elsewhere in South Carolina.
Although, grandfather Samuel Johnston was elected to the South Carolina state House of Representatives 3 times from Fairfield, was a Presidential Elector from South Carolina in 1812, was elected to the South Carolina state Senate 4 times from Fairfield, and served 3 different times as commissioner of public buildings for the Fairfield District as late as 1842 which makes him a long forgotten political figure in Fairfield District/Fairfield County.
