Mrs Alan Johnstone was a Pinchot, sister to Amos and Gifford. See NYT article from 1892 at query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D00E6DA1F31E033A... "Miss Antoinette E. Pinchot was married yesterday to the Hon. Alan Johnstone of England Instead of taking place in St. George's Church as originally intended, the ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Pinchot of Gramercy Park."

Addition to Swang comment: Amos with his sister, a wife of a foreign dipolmat - children of lumber baron James W. Pinchot, a founder of the Conservation Movement - Amos, part of the "Bull Moose" in 1912, and aquaintance of President Theodore TEDDY Roosevelt - later labeled as a pacifist, frequent speaker, writer, and author - spoke against large military buildup, founded isolationist group that dissolved after US entered WWII - was also against the growing role of big business in national politcs - moralist - rumored to have unsuccessfully attempted suicide out of depression over WWII Lady Alan - AKA Antoinette Pinchot - society leader, reputedly entertained in London at the Ritz, Edwardian fashionable - see also: www.yourbrotherkings.com/?p=100

Slight correction. James W. was not a founder of the conservation movement, except indirectly. He was the father of Amos, Antoinette, and Amos Pinchot. Gifford was encouraged by his father to study forestry, so Gifford, who went on to found the Forest Service in 1905, credited his father with being the "Father of Forestry." But James was a wealthy New York businessman, not a lumber baron. The Pinchot family funded the establishment of the Yale School of Forestry in 1900, and James probably contributed the bulk of the initial $150,000 and possibly the eventual $300,000. Gifford and others were the founders of the Conservation Movement during TR's presidency. In 1912, Amos and Gifford were major supporters of TR's third-party run for the presidency.

Thanks for the clarification - always appreciated - any web site links to your info?
