Theodore Van Tine Johnston



Born 1 October 1828 at New York City, New York
Died 19 March 1904 at Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York

 Theodore was born in New York City and presumably raised there as well. I found no information on him before he relocated to Poughkeepsie about 1852. He and his brother, Floy M. Johnston, were partners in Johnston Brothers, and owned several restaurants along the Central Hudson road. In his early years, he was interested in financial matters and was director of a bank. Theodore married to Eleanor More on 4 June 1868. They made their home at Poughkeepsie where they were the parents of two children; Katherine Bangs Johnston and Ella May Johnston who died in 1874 at two-years of age. Theodore died at his home at 299 Mill Street and was buried at Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery.  Theodore is John More Association John line cousin #M13.10.
