To clarify the above post-

male child (1873) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGPG-N82
male child (1874) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F5QV-1R8 (mother Bessy)
Johnston Christopher (1876) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGK6-WVK
male child (1878) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGK2-G2N
female child (1879) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGKH-M9T

It's quite possible the 1876 birth is the Johnston Christopher mentioned in the initial post.
