     A J Johnston, farmer, Hunter's Cave, Penna, was born in 
Washington county, Penna, January 18, 1816. His parents were 
Andrew Johnston and Climena Conklin Johnston, the former a 
native of New Jersey, and the latter of Pennsylvania. After 
marriage they settled in Washington county, and in 1820 
moved to Greene county and remained until their deaths. The 
subject of our sketch was united in holy bonds of matrimony 
December 9, 1847, with Phoebe McCullough, who was born in 
Washington county, April 3, 1817. 
  
     Mrs Johnston is a daughter of Thomas McCullough and 
Sarah Dunn McCullough. They were also natives of Washington 
county, where they remained two years after their marriage, 
then moved to Greene county and spent the remainder of their 
lives. 
  
     Mr and Mrs Johnston have four children: Sarah A, wife 
of William Heaton; George W Johnston; Andrew J Johnston; and 
Eliza A Johnston. Mr Johnston has been engaged in farming and 
stock raising all his life, and owns about 400 acres of 
land - his home farm. Mrs Johnston and the children are 
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
