JAMES JOHNSTON

James Johnston,  one of the parties to the contract to "lay out a town" 
and "erect and complete a State house,  offices,  and penitentiary," 
failed about the same time,  and from the same cause as Mr. McLaughlin. 
He returned to Pittsburg,  where he had been connected in business with
Kerr,  previous to their venture,  where he spent the remainder of his
life.  He died in 1842,  at an advanced age,  six years prior to the
death of Lyne Starling,  who was several years younger than the other
members of the company.
