Note that Mary Valentine Wood Johnston (1769-1825) had died in 1825. Peter's second wife, Ann Bernard (1775-1865), lived to be ninety and is buried in Richmond, Virginia. She was probably living at Panecillo when Peter died. They had married on December 13, 1828. In 1850 and 1860 she was living in the large household of Richmond merchant "Colonel" Walter Dabney Blair (1797-1878), whose son was a judge in Salem, Virginia (another son was a professor at William & Mary). Ann Bernard Johnston is buried next to Walter Dabney Blair and other family members in Shockoe Hill Cemetery, Range 10, Section 5. Ann Bernard was the daughter of John Bernard (1736-1799) and Henningham Carrington (1746-1810) and sister of Elizabeth Ann Bernard (1778-1862), who was also living in the Blair household in 1860. Elizabeth had married Willis Wills (1770-1834) of Amelia County, Virginia, in 1797, and together they had at least nine children. In addition, Elizabeth seems to have had twin sons via John Allan (1779-1834) on or about July 1, 1830, when she was about age 51. John Allan was also the guardian of Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). Elizabeth is buried in the same section of Shockoe Hill Cemetery as Ann.
At Panecillo in the 1830 census, 41 people resided as listed in this order: 6 white males, 6 white females, 14 black males, 15 black females.
