From Anna Jones Pritchard's diary: "My grandmother Johnston was the oldest one of my family I ever knew. By referring to her family bible in my possession I find that she was born September 26, 1774. Her husband, Hugh Johnston, on November 4 1762. Her maiden name was Sally Green. She was married the 11th September 1794. Her husband was a widower without a child. His first wife lived a few months only. I have heard him spoken of as an excellent man. He died in 1810, April 23rd. He had only been married 16 years. He left a large property and a widow and three children... Grandma lived at the place her husband died at until her children were married. She then moved to Warrenton, where she remained the rest of her days...She was a lady and a Christian of the most consistent and exemplary character. She was a Methodist and strove to serve the Lord. She was charitable and kind, industrious and economical and remarkably neat in all things. Her house, her yard and garden, I have never seen her surpassed and very rarely equal in neatness. She died in the 75th year of her age, on the 31st of Jan., 1848."
