In Response To: Re: John Liver Eating Johnston ()

Johnston was born with the last name Garrison on a farm just outside of Little York, New Jersey. He was "farmed" out by his father for local work when young and I suspect he ran off and entered the merchant marine because of that. He was then noticed in Alder Gulch in 1862. From then on I have all the details of his life and photos from 1877.(I am saving his real name, his birthdate and such for my book which is under construction at present.)
