Johnston Baronets
There have been four Baronetcies created for persons with the surname Johnston (as distinct from Johnstone), two in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia, one in the Baronetage of Ireland and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. One creation is extant as of 2010. The Johnston Baronetcy, of Caskiebien in the County of Aberdeen, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 31 March 1626 for George Johnston. The Johnston Baronetcy, of Elphinstone in the County of Haddington, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 18 October 1628 for Samuel Johnston. Nothing further is known of the title after the death of the third Baronet in circa 1700. The Johnston Baronetcy, of Gilford in the County of Down, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 27 July 1772 for Richard Johnston, later a member of the Irish House of Commons for Kilbeggan and Blessington. The title became extinct on the death of his son, the second Baronet, in 1841. The Johnston Baronetcy, of London, was crea ...

Sir John Johnston, 3rd Baronet
Sir John Johnston, 3rd Baronet of Caskieben (c. 1648 – 23 December 1690) was a Scottish soldier who was executed for his part in the abduction of Mary Wharton. Biography Johnston was born about 1648, the only son of Sir George Johnston, 2nd Baronet by his wife, a daughter of Sir William Leslie, 3rd Baronet of Wardes. In 1660 his father had sold the family estate of Caskieben in Aberdeenshire to Sir John Keith, who renamed it Keith Hall. Johnston was a captain in the army, and served under King William III in Flanders and in Ireland, where he was present at the Battle of the Boyne. In November 1690 Johnston aided his friend Captain James Campbell in the abduction and forced marriage of thirteen-year-old heiress Mary Wharton. Though Campbell escaped, for his part in the affair Johnston was hanged at Tyburn on 23 December 1690, aged forty-two. He was unmarried, and was succeeded by his cousin John Johnston of Newplace, a merchant at Aberdeen.Alexander Johnston, ''Genealogical Ac ...

Extinct Baronetcies In The Baronetage Of The United Kingdom
Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence. More than 99% of all species that ever lived on Earth, amounting to over five billion species, are estimated to have died out. It is estimated that there are currently around 8.7 million species of eukaryote globally, and possibly many times more if microorganisms, like bacteria, are included. Notable extinct animal species include non-avian dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, dodos, mam ...

Baronetcies In The Baronetage Of Nova Scotia
A baronet ( or ; abbreviated Bart or Bt) or the female equivalent, a baronetess (, , or ; abbreviation Btss), is the holder of a baronetcy, a hereditary title awarded by the British Crown. The title of baronet is mentioned as early as the 14th century, however in its current usage was created by James I of England in 1611 as a means of raising funds for the crown. A baronetcy is the only British hereditary honour that is not a peerage, with the exception of the Anglo-Irish Black Knights, White Knights, and Green Knights (of whom only the Green Knights are extant). A baronet is addressed as "Sir" (just as is a knight) or "Dame" in the case of a baronetess, but ranks above all knighthoods and damehoods in the order of precedence, except for the Order of the Garter, the Order of the Thistle, and the dormant Order of St Patrick. Baronets are conventionally seen to belong to the lesser nobility, even though William Thoms claims that: The precise quality of this dignity is not y ...

As of 2010 the Johnson baronetcy of Bath is dormant, and that of Dublin is extinct. Johnson baronetcy of New York (1755) The Johnson Baronetcy, of New York in North America, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 27 November 1755 for the soldier William Johnson.

The baronetcy was awarded for his victories at Crown Point and the Battle of Lake George earlier that year. Johnson baronets of New York *Sir William Johnson, 1st Baronet (1715–1774).

Heir Presumptive
An heir presumptive is the person entitled to inherit a throne, peerage, or other hereditary honour, but whose position can be displaced by the birth of an heir apparent or a new heir presumptive with a better claim to the position in question. Overview Depending on the rules of the monarchy, the heir presumptive might be the daughter of a monarch if males take preference over females and the monarch has no sons, or the senior member of a collateral line if the monarch is childless or the monarch's direct descendants cannot inherit (either because they are daughters and females are completely barred from inheriting, because the monarch's children are illegitimate, or because of some other legal disqualification, such as being descended from the monarch through a morganatic line or the descendant's refusal or inability to adopt a religion the monarch is required to profess). The subsequent birth of a legitimate child to the monarch may displace the former heir presumptive b ...
