On the 1860 Lexington, VA census, I found Mary Johnson, 70; MARY G. Johnston, 29 and Margaret Johnston, 25, all VA born.
On the 1900 Lexington, VA census, I found MARY G. Johnston, 70, May 1830, VA born, as were her parents, owns her home and has a mortgage.
Read her obit on the right, from the Lexington Gazette, (Lexington, Virginia), dated 28 Dec 1904. She was born near Brownsburg and died in Lexington ather home. She graduated from the Ann Smith Academy and taught in both Virginia and Kentucky and ended up back at the Ann Smith Academy in Lexington.
