Mary Johnston was the daughter of Colonel Francis Johnston [SSNE 2736]. In 1663 she became involved with the Scottish Privy Council after a John Forsyth had tried to defraud her of her inheritance. She noted in her disposition that Francis Jonston had left two dispositions regarding his will, one of them with Thomas Clayhill of Riga [SSNE 3831]. Riga at that time was under Swedish control and his status, location and time of death suggest it was this man referred to by Mary
