[4] At the end of the season, Johnston took his furs to Montreal, but in 1792 returned to the Bad River area and married Ozhaguscodaywayquay, the daughter of Ojibwe war chief Waubojeeg.

[4] However, Johnston rebuilt, in part by selling his parents' estate in Ireland, and became connected with John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company.

[2] That house was destroyed in 1814 by American forces in retaliation for Johnston's aid to the British in the War of 1812.

[2] In 1822, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft was appointed US Indian agent at Sault Ste.

[2] The Schoolcrafts lived in this house until 1827, when they moved to Elmwood, the Indian Agency headquarters in the Sault.

In 1949, they gave the house to the city of Sault Ste Marie, and it was restored by architects Mayer and Savoie.

[5] In the 1980s, three other historic structures were moved to a location near the Johnston House, including Henry Rowe Schoolcraft's Elmwood.
