George KINGSTON came from Evercreech Somerset. He married three times. His first wife was Catherine Kelty Campbell. Her family descended from Neil Campbell and Flora McAskill on the Isle of Islay off SKYE. Catherine's ancestor Flora died in childbirth as did Catherine. Their daughter was Violet Kingston- named VIOLET. As Catherine had a dream of a field of Violets before she died. Violet's daughter Violet Aitchison often spoke proudly of her grandfather and had a leather crop of his. He always liked his table to be set immaculately. He loved Catherine very much as shown by a grieving card. George's parents were Sarah JONES and Thomas Kingstone.
