Based on irishaware's comment from 6 years ago, I have checked this out and they are correct, there is also an Irish derivation that does not have an 'e' at the end and that can also be spelt 'Johnson'.

[@MrVonBastard]

Hello Billy, my name is William Joseph Johnson. We lost the "T" during the of 1812 against England. It's a long story. But I am a direct descendent of an Edmund Johnston who was born in Annandale in 1590 and sailed to the Virginia colony in 1638. I am a member of the 8th generation born here in America. If anyone reading this note has any information on him I would greatly appreciate it.

How about the the Johnston’s that moved to Perth Ontario? Relatives of the pirate bill Johnston

[@MrBigbadbob09]

Nunquanum Non Paratus "Never unprepared" Presumptious mortal, dost thou dare Such a motto on thy crest to wear? In this thy firm resolve declared, That thou art never unprepared? Never unprepared to meet Alike the bitter and the sweet? Firmly to bear misfortune's frown, Or wear,with humble mind,a crown! Never unprepared to scorn The false and mean,though proudly born; To raise the fallen,the oppressed defend To stand the injured poor man's friend? And thou prepared to take thy stand, the foremost for thy native land, And there ,in death or victory, Give her thy life or liberty? Prepared thou it should cost they blood, To hate the evil,choose the good- To bide the test,whate'er befalls, when honour truth and conscience calls? Prepared,whith his resolve unbending That knows no art no means descending, to meet thy friend,to speak thy mind, to live in love with all mankind- to walk with purpose firm and high And,more than all,prepared to die- Return to dust beneath earth's sod- Art tho prepared to meet thy God? And canst thy boldly lift thy hand Before the bar where all must stand And there ,with fearless font,defy The judgements searching scrutiny? Ah! Mortal,tell how thou hast dared to say that thou art thus prepared? Is He thy friend beyond all other, Who sticketh closer than a brother? Hast tho been washed in that pure fountain, That flows from Calvary's holy mountain? And art thou covered with his dress that clothes the sinner's nakedness? Hast tho been born from on high- art tho indeed prepared to die Down like a stream thy peace shall flow. I joy,in sorrow,weal or woe; Cast on the mountains barren steep, Or fettered in the dungeon deep; On stormy ocean tempest tossed- Thy home afar-thy pathway lost. Through every change,in every place, Thou shalt posses thy soul in peace; Nor lives there under heavens wide span A calmer or a happier man. Even greifs celestial lights unfold, like clouds that glow with sunsets gold, And sorrows all below must meet, Are turned,like Marah's waters,sweet. Above all ills thy soul is lifted, And thou,beloved of heaven,art gifted With richest blessings from on high prepared to live-prepared to die. from a true johnstone

I have been putting my family tree together which was always a mystery because of lack of adoption details for me . Thanks to a dna site it has indicated my largest portion of dna is from Scotland . The Johnstone family is the main one I’m connected to through the paternal line . They all lived in Dumfriesshire . I’ve currently traced back to a James Johnstone born 1785 in Lochmaben. Proud to be connected to the Johnstone’s and their colourful history !

[@robertsheridan3377]

Johnstone, why did they drop the e?

[@Paratus7]

Thy didn’t drop the ‘e’. It is generally pronounced ‘Johns-tun’ in Scotland. It is generally taken to come from ‘John’s town’. Tun, toon meaning town. As many people could not write; it came down to how it was written down by others on birth, wedding, death certificates etc. and both forms were used. In most family histories you will find both spellings appear. They are pretty interchangeable over the years - but both represent the same proud clan.

We lost the T during the War of 1812. My great great grandfather, Seth Johnston/Johnson served with the 5th Tennessee Militia which was one of the 10 Tennessee Regiments commanded by Gen. Andrew Jackson. Seth enlisted as a Johnston but his discharge papers have him as a Johnson. This clerical error is how we lost the T.
