Footnotes
The crest was used by a number of JOHNSTON families in Ireland in the period from the late seventeenth century. Notably the family of JOHNSTON from Holly Park, Co. Down from whom many later JOHNSTON family lines in Ireland are descended.
Looking at the ghosted script below the crest you can make out 'John Johnson(e)'.
