Excerpt from History of the Johnstones, 1191-1909: With Descriptions of Border Life Several correspondents were under the impression that they descended directly from one of the Earls of Annandale, but the belief was founded on traditions handed down by their own near-relatives and since the Earldom was created sufficient proof is forthcoming to account for all the legitimate descendants in the male line of those later Johnstone chiefs.

Humphreys Johnston, Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, Venice, for the same; to Mr George Harvey John ston for the use of his collection of charters, and for the addition of the Pedigrees and the copious index; to Colonel G. Hamilton Johnston of Kilmore for information about the Johnstons of Ireland; to Senator Joseph Forney Johnston for his ms.
