SAMUEL JOHNSTON was born in Shelby County, Ky., November 22, 1816, the
third of twelve children born to John H. and Elizabeth Johnston.  He is
of the well known Virginia family of Johnstons, who immigrated to
Kentucky in an early period of its history.  When he was four years of
age his parents brought him to Henry County, and located near where he
now resides.  He received but a limited education, and got his start in
life by working for small wages.  He has been engaged in farming and
speculating in land all his life, and has been very successful, now
owning upward of 3,000 acres of land in Henry and Franklin Counties.  He
has now retired from active duties, but his son, John T., is in charge,
and conducts the business and farm as successfully as did his father; is
a sober, industrious young man, and is looked upon as a leader among
farmers.  In 1844 Mr. Johnston married Mary J. Bailey, daughter of
Squire S. and Charity Bailey, of Franklin County, Ky.  Two children were
born to this union: John T. and an infant.  Mr. Johnston is a Democrat.
