Name: Von Johnston 
I am seeking information on the parents of my great grandfather, James Monroe JOHNSTON. He was born in Washington County on July 14, 1837. I believe he was the oldest of four children, the last two children were twins born between 1846 and 1848. James had a brother, William, who was born in 1844 or 1845. It is possible that his mother´s first name was Curency, born about 1816 in Virginia. I believe her maiden name was THOMPSON. Apparently, James´ father was killed in the Mexican-American War. The family moved to Reynolds County at a later date and they are listed there on the 1870 census.

Patrick MITCHEL died after 29 June 1870 but before the 1870 census. He was born 1792 Ireland. John Mitchel(l) born 1820-34 Ireland died feb 8 1874 Mary McDonnell MITCHEL(L) born ca 1833 Cincin. Ohio d 22-July 1870 (childbirth).

Anne McDonnell DONAHUE wife of Hugh Donahue. Unknown death date.

These were Catholic folks and Mary especially likely to have been buried in a churchyard.( my father's cousin remembers as a young girl her mother and grandmother going to a churchyard cemetery to visit Mary Mitchel's grave) Are there cemetery listings available for St James Church? Are there Parish death records for St James Church between 1866-1875? From the records copied on microfilm, it seems they were between Priests.. Eugene OHeay and M. Reilly. Thank you for any clues you may provide.

Looking for others working on the MIDGETT (MIDYETT) and MASON lines in Washington County MO. My 3rd ggf was James H. MIDGETT. He was born abt 1831 in TN and was living in Washington Co. MO by 1849 when he married Belinda Caroline MASON (25 Jul 1829 - 16 Mar 1868). His second wife was Amanda Jane GILLIAM ( Apr 1838 - Aft 1900). Her first husband was David C. MASON who died in Sep 1864.

I believe James H. MIDGETT is the brother of Jefferson Layfayette MIDYETT, SR. (1837 - 1899) I also believe that Belinda Caroline MASON is the daughter of Robert MASON and Sally ?. I further belive that the Robert MASON mentioned above was the brother of Joshua MASON (30 Sep 1809 - 13 Jun 1898). The daughter of Joshua MASON and Marina A., Irene MASON, married Jefferson L. MIDYETT, Sr.
