Sure thing. Stephanie's main interest, she told me on the one occasion we met, was the history of the old houses in Anstruther and the families who had lived in them. On pps. 195-6 of her book she is talking about Johnston Lodge, in the wynd leading down to Shore Street, Anstruther Easter, the house she herself lived in, because by then it had been split into flats.
A woman called Mary Clarkson was married on May 31st 1820 to "Archibald Johnston, younger of Pittowie [a small estate near Crail taken into the airfield in 1940], son of Andrew Johnston of Pittowie, merchant and baillie in Anstruther Easter, and nephew of James Johnston, vintner. The family probably came to the town early in the eighteenth century from Leuchars. Archibald Johnston was Agent for the Bank of Scotland in St Andrews, a wealthy man owning land in the parish of Anstruther Wester, who bought and sold property in the burgh and lent money to house buyers."
Archibald Johnston's sister Rachel Johnston was married in 1821 to the Rev. Robert Wilson from Dunino, who was to be minister of Anstruther Easter for forty-three years.
"Archibald Johnston did not live long to enjoy his new property as he died in 1829 at the age of forty-four. His wife continued to live in St Andrews where she died in 1870 and was buried with her husband and four of their children in the Cathedral burial ground. Their two sons, Andrew and Archibald, died in the same month at the ages of four and one, and two girls died at the ages of 18 and 19. Two other daughters lived to maturity."
Stephanie also tells us that Archibald Johnston's widow sold the Pittowie estate "to her late husband's cousin Captain Alexander Corstorphine in Kingsbarns, late of the East India Company, and in 1852 she sold the villa to George Darsie, tanner, and his wife, Margaret Johnston Walker, probably another cousin. (She was a cousin of Rear Admiral William Black from whom she received a legacy in 1853)."
I hope some of this is of interest.
