GRIFFITH, JOHNSTON, LECKEY
I am seeking any and all information about the parents of my paternal grandfather. My grandfather, Gerald Roland D'Orcy JOHNSTON, was born 14 June 1901 in Sidney, OH and died 3 April 1978 in Southfield, MI. His mother was Sarah LECKEY, born 1885, place unknown. She had 3 husbands, #1 JOHNSTON, #2 unknown, #3 Winford GRIFFITH. Gerald's father was a locomotive engineer who was killed in a train wreck. Nothing further is known of him except that family tradition says that he was descended off the famous civil war Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's line.
