Les armes sont celles des familles Johnston et Alexander pour Sir Richard Johnston, premier baronet (1743-1795), de Gilford. Il épousa Anne, fille de William Alexander, marchand de Dublin, à Dublin en octobre 1764. Johnston, High Sheriff du comté Down en 1771, fut créé baronet l'année suivante et membre du parlement pour Kilbeggan en 1776 et Blessington de 1783 à sa mort.
