I am now convinced that it is Elizabeth M. Johnston, daughter of John Johnston and Margaret Jane Moffat who died Nov 7, 1943.  Her son Thomas Johnston Conner/Connor died Aug 1, 1977 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her twin infants Clarence Ross Conner and Gladys May Conner were born May 12, 1900 and both died in Aug 1900 in Medford, Massachusetts. If only an obit were found to confirm this information.
Trees that I found for her husband William Raymond Conner say born Ireland but most censuses say that he was born in Concord, Massachusetts. Much like Elizabeth saying she was born in Clinton.
William Raymond Conner/Connor died Mar 1939.
Thanks for any help. Peggy

Hello oldohiohome, you have been doing a lot of work regarding Elizabeth’s marriage. At first, I thought it was not her for 3 reasons- wrong age by 2 years, wrong first name for her mother, and wrong place of birth for her- she was born in Ireland, not Clinton. But I am now thinking it is her. Her mother died in 1872 in Clinton when Elizabeth was only 11, so by 1892, perhaps Elizabeth was confused about her mother’s first name.
Elizabeth’s family emigrated about 1868 when Elizabeth was only about 7 so she may have felt she was born in Clinton.
You are correct that an obituary for her death on Nov 7,  1943 would be very helpful.
Thanks for your help. Peggy

On the 1870 census, when John Johnston/Johnson is married to Margaret Jane Moffatt, he has 5 children - Whaley J. age 13, George age 11, Elizabeth age 9, John, and Thomas James.

Of these children, I know that Whaley J., age 13 in 1870, died Jan 20, 1898 in Clinton, still single.
John Johnston died 26 Mar 1887 in Clinton, I believe still single.
Thomas James born 1869 in Clinton died 12 Mar 1899 in Clinton, married to Elizabeth Linton in 1892.
I wonder what happened to George. He is not on the 1880 census with remarried father John to Jane McClure but he would be age 21 by then so could be living separately. But I suspect that he died between 1870 and 1880 in Clinton. Can anyone help with George? Peggy

On John's death certificate, can anyone help with the place of birth of Jane, his mother? Looks like Penneybox?
