Below is an excerpt from a letter that my grandmother, Grace (Brown) Emerson wrote to a relative:
"My father's mother was Mary Ann Johnston & her parents & grandparents settled originally in Muddy York near the Old St. Lawrence Market. …Her father, William Johnston from Co. Tyrone arrived in NYC in 1815 & owned property which was confiscated & they moved to Upper Canada."

Beautiful cameo photo of Mary Ann Johnston. Bright eyes, clear of a healthy & respectful women. She is seated at a small covered table with books, 'Thinking.' She has traces of smile.
Age possibly mid fifties. The Victoria dress should be dateable: plain 'grey' skirt with medium dark lace over top, short ruffles on her shoulders & chest, also ruffles on the wrists; white kerchief around her next with male cameo broach; a ribbon necklace with dangling broach is partially visible. She wears bracelet, possible black stone & on the other wrist she wears a double metal jointed band which is an inch & half wide. Earrings are possibly clip on.
She appears to have light short? brown hair parted in the middle. Distinctive Victoria white & black lace or ribbon, dangling house -headdress - with two or so prominent black centre pieces. (1865ish is an estimate).
Over her dress she is wearing a dark printed flower shawl, hanging just off her shoulders.
