Hi
I just wanted to add to the information that Karen previously provided. I believe that John E. Williston, b abt 1842 (husband of Sarah McLeod) was born in Virginia to John and Lavinia Williston and maybe this might clear that up for Karen. The 1850 US Census, Norfolk City, Norfolk Cty., VA at page 28 has John and Lavinia Williston as the parents of 7 children. One of them is a John, age 8 (thus born about 1841/2) and another is Mary, age about 2 (thus born about 1847/8).
The grave records of Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Mass. has John Williston born in Boston on 6/21/1803; Lavinia M, wife of John in Portsmouth, VA on 12/12/1815; Mary, dau of John and Lavinia-5/10/1848.
