| 551 | At least one source says she married first to a John Hollingsworth, but this is thought to be a mix-up that comes from misinformation in Summers book. | WRIGHT, Rachel (I11248)

| 552 | At the 1859 renunion in Indiana, she and her husband, their sons and daughters with their spouses and children totalled 28 members with 3 deceased. According to her 1880 census record, she was born in Ohio and her parents were born in Sorolina. | COATS, Charity (I4934)

| 555 | Aunt Barb is remembered for touching her father's boots when he returned from war as a way of honoring him. Aunt Barb had one daughter, Esther, by her first husband, John Davis. She divorced John which was unheard of at that time. Ebenezer Church cemetery is where her husband, John Tobin, was buried just 3 years later. She is living alone at age 65 next door to her sister-in-law, Grace Evans Clark's family in the 1930 census in Rio Grande, Ohio. (CL-1, Doc) | EVANS, Barbara Elen (I10767)

| 556 | Aunt Elma died in an automobile accident involving family at the same intersection where another friend or family member later died. They died within feet of each other according to the same doctor at both scenes. | HETZER, Elma Etta (I1)

| 557 | Aunt Mary was one of my favorites. I remember visiting my cousin Wendy, her niece, when I was about seven years old. When I went to school with Wendy, we were told that guests were not allowed. Aunt Mary was able to pick me up. I was crying and felt so dejected that she took me to a pet store and bought me a hamster, cage and all! When we returned to her house, her daughter Caroline was also there to help console me. Mary outlived her husband and lived to a very advanced age with her son Don and his wife in Florida. | MUSSELMAN, Mary Jane (I10440)
|
| 558 | Aunt Sophie, as she was called, always said she would live to be 103. She did even better, reaching the remarkable age of 106! She was always stylish and impeccably dressed, even at such an advanced age. She enjoyed good health and a sharp memory until the last few years of her life. She outlived all her friends and family, and only about eight people were able to attend her funeral. Even her great-nieces were too advanced in age to attend, although they wanted to. Our side of the family was not even informed that she had died. | CLARK, Sophia Jane (I10419)
|
| 559 | Aurelia was possibly the Aurelia Link listed in the 1920 census for the 15th Ward of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was 18 years old at the time and was listed as the head of household. She was living with a girlfriend, Dorothy Barth, age 22, who was married. Aurelia's occupation was listed, but I have been unable to decipher it. The only information that does not agree with known facts is that she listed her birthplace and those of her parents as Maryland. Aurelia probably married her second husband after 1930, as the couple has not been located together in census records prior to that time. Aurelia, or "Auntie," as this branch of the family fondly called her, worked most of her life as a proofreader for the Atlantic City World newspaper. She eventually gained membership in the union, which enabled her to obtain her best job at the Atlantic City Press, where she worked until her retirement. She was well loved and highly regarded by my husband's family. | LINK, Aurelia (I11003)

The following was posted by Patricia Minich on Ancestry: "Alexander Clark's grandfather, John Clark, was a brother of Jonathan Clark, grandfather of Gen. George Rogers Clark and William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (See the Clark and Handley Families of Monroe Co., W. Va. by Bertha Lewis Clark). Alexander Clark I, the son of James and Elizabeth (Summers) Clark, was born in 1736 in Augusta County, Virginia. In 1763, he married Sarah Lafferty, daughter of Ralph Lafferty of Cowpasture, Bath County, Virginia. In 1785 they moved to Greenbrier County, Virginia. Alexander served the cause of the American Revolution by furnishing supplies to troops. See Greenbrier Book of Public Claims, 1782, Virginia Revolutionary Ancestors, page 20, and DAF Patriot Index, 1966, page 132. In 1785, Alexander Clark was issued a patent for 330 acres of land on Indian Creek, Greenbrier County, Virginia (now Monroe County, West Virginia). Alexander died in 1794 and his will is recorded in Greenbrier County Will Book 1, page 87, October Court 1794." Alexander J. was possibly also a private in the Continental Troops of Virginia during the American Revolution. These records state that he was born in 1740, according to the Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution: Soldiers, Sailors and Marines, 1775–1783, edited by John H. Gwathmey, Richmond, Virginia, 1938, p. 152. His will confirms that he is the Alexander who died in Greenbrier County, Virginia (now West Virginia). It is as follows.

| 564 | Baldwin I's mother is listed as Richelu in Harry's book and Ermengarde in Coats' book. He was called Baldwin Forester and "The Iron Arm". He eloped with the daughter of Charles II, "The Bald" of France and was finally accepted by his father-in-law in 864 when he was given the title "Governor of the Countship of Flanders."

| 567 | Barclay removed as a minor from Salem Monthly Meeting in Ohio to Upper Springfield Monthly Meeting (Iowa?) on July 22, 1843. His certificate was received on August 23, 1843. Barclay was the second brother to join John Brown at Harpers Ferry. He was assigned to guard the farmhouse where the party had been staying while the raid occurred, thus allowing him to escape from Harpers Ferry. (C-376, 1491) His fellow Quakers back in Springdale, Iowa, kept a vigilant watch for him. They guarded his mother's house to ensure his safe return. It took him about a month to travel on foot from Virginia to Iowa in a very ragged state, pursued by Virginia agents. Barclay, with the help of his Quaker community, made it safely to his very worried mother's home. The local sheriff in Iowa did not attempt to arrest him, however, as the community was so strongly opposed to slavery that he deemed it wisest not to do so. (C-1471) His fellow Quakers convinced Barclay to go to Canada and then Ohio for a time. He returned to Kansas in 1860 to help free some Missouri slaves and nearly lost his life a second time. Fate did not have a long life in store for Barclay, as he joined the Civil War in 1861. On July 24, 1861, he was commissioned as a first lieutenant in the Third Kansas Infantry, Colonel Montgomery's regiment. Six weeks later, he was on the train that plunged from the Platte River Bridge after the bridge had been damaged by fire set by Confederates. According to various accounts, he lived anywhere from one day after the collapse to several years, dying while a prisoner. In any case, he was buried in Leavenworth, Kansas, a place he had become fond of, in the fall of 1865. (C-745, 1508, 2246) | COPPOC, Barclay (I731)

| 569 | Bartholomew A. Danner achieved the rank of Private in Co. D, 179th Regiment of the Ohio Infantry in the American Civil War. He enlisted on August 27, 1864 and was dischaged June 17, 1865. His address given was Wigner, Green Twp., Gallia, Ohio. He had the nickname of Bart. (CL-363, 444, 445, 454) | DANNER, Bartholomew Adam (I11169)

| 570 | Bartholomew Allerton is identified as the father of Isaac Allerton, a passenger on the Mayflower, in the following records cited by Wikipedia. Based on a deposition given in 1639, Isaac Allerton was born in Suffolk, England, about 1586–1588. His ancestry had long been difficult to establish. Some records from colonial Dutch New Amsterdam (New York) indicate that he came from Suffolk. His son Bartholomew returned to England from Plymouth and served as a minister in Suffolk. His will was proved in 1659, when he was residing in Bramfield, Suffolk. Genealogist Leslie Mahler, writing in the March 2009 issue of The Mayflower Quarterly, identified an Isaac Allerton in the 1609 apprenticeship registers of the Blacksmiths Company in London. This record identifies Isaac as the son of Bartholomew Allerton, a tailor of Ipswich, Suffolk. The apprenticeship record, translated from Latin, reads: "21 June 1609, Isaac Allerton, son of Bartholomew Allerton late of Ipswich, county Suffolk, tailor has bound himself apprentice by indenture to James Gly, Citizen and Black Smith of London for seven years from the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist last." (Sources: Wikipedia, "Isaac Allerton"; Leslie Mahler, The Mayflower Quarterly, March 2009.) | ALLERTON, Bartholomew * (I15979)

| 571 | Bartholomew's parents were originally from Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire, England. Some secondary sources state that they moved to Flintshire, Wales, for a few years during the English Civil War, where Bartholomew was born. In the Wilmslow Parish baptismal records, his father was listed as Bartholomew of Fulshaw, an area just south of Wilmslow. It should be noted that there was another Bartholomew, born about 1645, who married Elinor/Ellen Smith or Williamson instead. He could be the son of Bartholomew and Elizabeth Curbishley of Wilmslow and Nether Leigh. Our Bartholomew was married in Wilmslow, England, at the home of Richard Yarwood in 1678. He seems to have moved back temporarily to Wales, as his first son was born there. His third child was born back in Cheshire, England. He emigrated on the ship "The Freeman of Liverpool," which left port on June 7, 1682. The following goods were listed under his name, and I wonder if they were his payment for passage: 1 hhd., qty. 60 lbs. woolen cloth; 40 ells English linen; 1/4 cwt. wrought iron; 7 lbs. haberdashery. His fourth child was born in Pennsylvania. The ship made a fast voyage, docking in Delaware by August 6, 1682, with George Southern as master. (C-2228c) Bartholomew was supposedly one of three early Coppocks who immigrated to this country, one of whom was a slightly younger Bartholomew. All three were possibly related. In William Penn's original land grants to purchasers from England, Ireland, and Scotland, a Bartholomew Coppock is listed twice. The first grant was dated March 20 and 21, and the second April 4 and 5, 1681, both prior to the emigration of Penn and his followers to Pennsylvania. On those dates, William Penn of Sussex, England, sold 250 acres (in Hightough, Chester County?) to one Bartholomew Coppock and 500 acres to another, according to "The Annals of Pennsylvania." (See the two Bartholomews listed below.) (C-1979, 2228e) According to descendants of the Bartholomew discussed in this biography, he was the one who purchased 500 acres from William Penn. The exact reference in Bryant's Abstracts of Chester County Land Records is: "Deed. On 20 and 21 Mar 1681 William PENN of Sussex, England to Bartholemew COPPECK of Salsbury, yeoman. William PENN for ? 10 grants to Bartholemew COPPECK a tract in province of Pennsylvania containing 500 acres. Signed William PENN. Delivered in the presence of John MARTIN, William PARKER and Harbt SPRINGETT. Recorded 01 Jun 1688. (A1B34)" If this family tradition is true, then he is probably the Bartholomew who owned 800 acres on Crum Creek on a map of Chester County (now Delaware County), Pennsylvania, dated 1683. He was a farmer by trade. He seems to have witnessed a will signed aboard the ship Friendship in 1684 (on a return trip?). His neighbors on Crum Creek, Pennsylvania, were also Wilmslow natives. (C-253a) He purchased 300 acres from John Nickerson of Lower Providence on April 12, 1687, where he resided until his death. John had originally obtained the land from William Penn. Bartholomew Coppeck was from Springfield, Pennsylvania, at the time of his 1687 purchase. He is therefore also likely to be the Bartholomew Coppock who, in 1687, was appointed to the first Court of Equity for Springfield Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, along with two other prominent citizens, George Maris and Samuel Levis. In 1696, he was listed as a neighbor of James Stanfield, who was selling 100 acres to Thomas Hope and 100 acres to Henry Haines. That land was in Marple, bounded by the lands of Thomas Massey, Darby Creek, Henry Haines, and Bartholomew. According to "The History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania," he is the Bartholomew who lived on land along Darby Creek in Marple. (C-2136) If this is accurate, then he is the Bartholomew who also witnessed the following deed: "Deed. On 07 Nov 1709 Joshua FEARNE of Darby, yeoman, to Josiah FEARNE of Darby, yeoman. Joshua FEARNE for ? 55 grants to Josiah FEARNE a tract bounded by Darby creek and land of John WOOD, containing 50 acres, being part of 500 acres originally granted to Thomas WORTH and Samuel BRADSHAW, who then granted 50 acres to Joshua FEARNE of Darby, dec'd, by deed dated 04 Oct 1687. Joshua FEARNE by his will dated 06 Apr 1693 bequeathed to his son and heir, Joshua FEARNE, the 50 acres. Signed Joshua FEARNE. Delivered in the presence of Isaac TAYLOR, Bartholemew COPPECK and John SIMCOCK. Recorded 10 Nov 1709. (B2357)" (Bryant, Abstracts of Chester County Land Records) Our Bartholomew's will was dated July 10 (5th mo.), 1718, and probated March 9, 1718/9. It names his wife, Margaret; three granddaughters through his deceased son Jonathan; daughter-in-law Jane; Jane's brother John Owen of Philadelphia; his son Bartholomew; and children Margaret, Rebecca, Sarah, Martha, and Moses. (C-429, 613, 2150) He was listed as nearly 73 years old at his death on December 20, 1718/1719. His will is transcribed as follows: I Bartholomew Coppock of Marble in the county of Chester and Province of Pensylvania being in Reasonable good health of body and of sound and Perfect mind and memory Praise therefore be given to almighty God Do make and ordain this my last will and Testament in manor and form following First and Principally I Commend my Soul into the hands of almighty God that gave it and my body I committ to the earth to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executors hereafter named and as following the Disposition of all such temporal Estates as it hath pleased God to bestow upon me.

| 572 | Barzillai Coate (as spelled in the Pennsylvania Gazette, April 9, 1777) and Charles French advertised their services as proper caretakers and creators of good posture for mares (female horses) at five shillings per week. (C-1765) Barzilla is listed on the Burlington County, New Jersey, tax list for 1773 in Evesham Township. (C-2292E) He, his wife, and their children, Hannah, William, and Edith Coate, were granted a certificate from Burlington Monthly Meeting to Evesham Monthly Meeting on September 5, 1774, according to Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia. Both meetings were in Burlington County, New Jersey. An indenture was entered into the New Jersey court records by Barzilla's sisters to obtain shares of their brother's land inherited from their deceased father, William Coate. It proves that William and Rebecca's sons William, Marmaduke, and Israel died without children. It is transcribed below.

| 577 | Below is the will of William Young, as transcribed on Sharon Jebavy's website, "Young Connections." "William Young Last Will and Testament February 21, 1811 Montgomery Co., KY In the name of God Amen. I William Young, being weak in boddy but of sind and good memory and knowing the uncertainty of life and being willing to dispose of all my worldly goods before my decease, do make this my last will and testament in the form and manner hearin divised.

Further I hereby revoke all former wills and Testaments made by me either verbal or written and do hereby appoint my beloved wife Ann Young Executris. James Harrow, David Alescander and Christy Glover Executors of this my last will and Testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty-first day of February one thousand eight hundred and eleven. William Young (Seal) Sign, Seal, and Acknowledged in presence of: Thomas Moreley James Caldwell Montgomery County June court 1811 The last will and testament of William Young deceased was produced in court and proved by the oaths of James Caldwell and James Trimble, witnesses thereto. Subscribed and ordered to record. And in the motion of Anne Young Executrise named in said Will who made Oath thereto according to Law, and entered into and acknowledged bond with Samuel Young and Thomas Trimble her securities in the penalty of One Thousand Dollars Conditioned for her time and faithful execution of said estate a certificate as granted her for detaining a probate thereof in due form. The other Executors named in said Will being present in court and refusing to take upon themselves the burden thereof - but liberty is reserved them to join in the probate thereof when they hereafter may be thereunto required. Attest M. Hamson, CC James Trimble" The following record in Chalkley might apply to this William, since one of William's sisters married a Henderson. "Page 107.--21st November, 1772. David Henderson, son of Danl. Henderson, puts himself apprentice to William Young, blacksmith, to learn his art, trade or mystery for 4-1/2 years. Teste: Wm. Robertson, Wm. Anderson." In any case, in 1770, William's brother John sold him some of his land, according to the following Chalkley record: "DB 16, pg 193, 19 March 1770: John and Margaret Young to William Young, 53 ac, both sides of Middle River; Lines and Corners; Alexander Craig, John Hall; Land patented to John Young 20 July 1768; Test Thos. Madison, Robert Young, Francis Brown; Delivered to Wm. Young 25 June 1773." If he obtained land in 1770, it would usually indicate that he was at least 21 years old at that time. I have calculated his birth date based on this record. It is my theory that William was the son of William Young of Cecil County, Maryland. He sued William, Samuel, and James Anderson, as well as George Glenn, for failing to pay him 18 pounds that they each owed him in 1791. George Glenn was of Naked Creek, and I am assuming the others were also. In May 1792, while this case was still ongoing, his witnesses were William Curry, John Blair, and Jane Blair. William Young did not attend because he was aged and unable to do so. This last statement suggests that he was at least of the same generation as John and James Young of Naked Creek and was probably their brother or cousin. | YOUNG, William (He admin. his likely father's will) (I21414)

| 579 | Benjamin and his wife's children are known. None of them are named Mary Bartlett. (F-579) | BARTLETT, Benjamin (I13517)
|
| 580 | Benjamin and wife, Sarah, were members of the Baptist Church. He confessed his faith on Dec., 1728. His wife Sarah was buried at the foot of Iron Hill in 1743 in the Welsh Tract Baptist Church. They had six sons and 4 daughters. (C-437,63 | UNDERWOOD, Benjamin (I11299)
|
| 581 | Benjamin first petitioned for 350 acres of land on Scotch Creek in Newberry County, South Carolina, on February 6, 1759. He had the headrights to 100 acres for himself and 50 acres each for his wife and four children. The following information is from Harriet Imrey regarding Benjamin's unlikely Quaker status at that time: "The timing and location of the adjoining Brooks and Pearson lands are definitely 'not right' for Quakers, and a risky venture for any settler at all. The Indian raids and massacres in precisely that section of the South Carolina frontier had been escalating since 1751 and broke into all-out warfare in 1759. Jacob Brooks turned his property into a house-fort and sheltered all the neighbors in 1759. He was reimbursed by the province for his fort expenses (Benjamin Pearson was reimbursed for provisions for the fort and the militia). Jacob Brooks, one of them, was also paid £12 for his active duty as a member of Col. John Chevillette's Battalion of backcountry militia. He was clearly not a Quaker at that time, so Agatha Brooks Pearson was perhaps not a Quaker either. The Elmores, like Pearson, were paid for provisions but not for militia service. These earliest settlers 'could have been' an advance guard for a Quaker meeting group that couldn't get going until after the Cherokee Wars ended in 1762. Militia service ruled out at least some of this Brooks family from Quaker status. The status of Margaret Evans at marriage (and/or just after it) might have been mentioned in the Fredericksburgh/Wateree Monthly Meeting minutes, but those did not survive. The various land records and military records, plus the absence of mention in Bush River Monthly Meeting records, raise some questions about the religious affiliations of this particular Pearson family grouping." | PEARSON, Benjamin (I8596)
|
| 582 | Benjamin is listed as a proprietor in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1685. He lived in the second division of an area called Sperry Farms, which later became known as Amity Society and is now part of Woodbridge, Connecticut. (F-65, 2297) | PECK, Benjamin (I11146)
|
| 583 | Benjamin is listed as being of Kingswinford, Staffordshire, England, at the time of his marriage. There were two Dimmock families in Kingswinford during the correct time period who could have been his parents. One was Benjamin and Phoebe Billingham Dimmock, and the other was William and Claire Moss Dimmock. It is purely conjecture that he was the son of Benjamin and Phoebe. If he was the son of William and Claire instead, he had a sibling named Moss, born in 1771. His marriage record at FreeREG.org is as follows: County: Staffordshire Place: Kingswinford Church: St. Mary Register type: Parish Register Register entry number: 977 Marriage date: September 11, 1803 Groom: Benjamin Dimmock, of Kingswinford Bride: Mary Round, of Kingswinford Witnesses: Samuel Yardley and Mary Nicklin Notes: The groom, bride, and second witness signed by mark. Transcribed by: Dale Braden File line number: 990 No children are listed for Benjamin and Mary on that site in Kingswinford or Dudley, Staffordshire, England, except for James. Benjamin died the same year James was born. His burial record is as follows: County: Worcestershire Place: Dudley Church: St. Thomas Register type: Unspecified Burial date: October 22, 1806 Name: Benjamin Dimmock | DIMMOCK, Benjamin * (I9609)
|
| 584 | Benjamin is listed as the grandson of John Eastburn in his grandfather's will, probated in Philadelphia in 1772. He is likely the Benjamin Coates whose children, Isaac and Elizabeth, died in the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting region in 1783 and 1785, respectively, according to Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia. "Isaac, son of Benjamin, buried 12/10/1783" and "Elizabeth, daughter of Benjamin, buried 2/8/1785." (Vol. 2, p. 347) | COATES, Benjamin (I477)
|
| 585 | Benjamin is not in the 1850 census but is age 11 in the 1860 census. There is possibly an error in his age here, with him being born in the summer of 1850 instead. (C-62,70) | COPPOCK, Benjamin (I207)
|
| 586 | Benjamin resided in Norwich, CT. (F-88) He moved to Franklin, CT in 1700. (F-409) | PECK, Benjamin (I14620)
|
| 587 | Benjamin was a Revolutionary War patriot listed along with Capt. John Coate, Private William Coate, John Chandler, James Gallbreath, and Elijah Teague. It is not known for certain who Capt. John and Private William Coate were, but they could have been relatives of Henry Coate, the husband of Benjamin Long’s daughter. Benjamin and his wife, Priscilla, sold land to their future son-in-law, Henry Coate, on February 10, 1800, in Newberry District, South Carolina. | LONG, Major Benjamin (I13383)
|
| 588 | Benjamin was born on October 30, 1772, in Brighanter, Tennessee, according to descendant Charles Freemont Coppock, born in 1898. However, this is the same birth date recorded for Benjamin, son of Joseph and Jane Coppock, in the Bush River Monthly Meeting records, so it is likely a mix-up. Benjamin was listed as a slave owner in the 1800 census of Newberry, South Carolina. He was probably the Benjamin who emigrated to Miami County, Ohio, with James, John, and Samuel Coppock, according to The Annals of Newberry. (C-296, 2144) | COPPOCK, Benjamin (I15548)

| 589 | Benjamin was married about 1838 to an unknown woman. | COATES, Benjamin Franklin (I484)

|
| 591 | Benjamin was the youngest son of Richard Wells. His birth date is an estimate by Montgomery, who believed Benjamin was the eighth child in birth order. Benjamin inherited “Benjamin’s Choice” under his father’s will in 1667. He had two children with his wife, both daughters who died in infancy. His wife died giving birth to their second daughter. She is buried at All Hallow’s Parish. | WELLS, Benjamin (I11934)

|
| 596 | Bess Pearson, the second wife of Steve Pearson’s grandfather, believed that Susannah’s middle name began with a B. Susannah joined Greenville Creek Church on August 20, 1849, in Newberry County, Ohio, when she was approximately 15 years old. Several of her uncles and other family members attended the same church. The church records identify her as the daughter of John. A Nancy Coats joined at the same time, but her parents and spouse are not listed, so her place in the family is uncertain. She could have been an older sister of Susannah and might account for one of John’s unidentified daughters in the census records. Susannah and her husband, Silas, lived in Darke County, Ohio, and attended Sugar Grove Church, which is no longer standing. Sugar Grove Church might have been in York Township, Darke County, Ohio, as there is an area by that name in the township. Susannah and Silas were not buried at the church they attended. | COATS, Susannah (I5523)
|
| 597 | Betsy was likely deceased by 1808, as her husband did not receive a share of her father’s estate that year; only her children did. Another possibility is that Betsy and her husband had already received their share. Some of her children were still minors, and their shares were entrusted to Newman and James Gary to manage. | COLE, Elizabeth "Betsy" (I7605)

| 598 | Bill, known as “Wild Bill,” was a talented carpenter who often worked on construction sites, including large skyscrapers. He was a union carpenter with the Southwestern Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters, Local 113. He also did a lovely job of restoring old homes that he purchased, lived in, and sold. According to his older siblings, Bill was born in Middletown, Ohio, but his children gave his birthplace as Trenton, Ohio, as recorded on his funeral card and in his obituary. He graduated from Trenton High School in 1948 and was a member of Yankee Road First Church of God near the end of his life. I will remember Bill for his good nature and big smile. He loved telling stories and enjoyed spending time with his family. | COATE, William (Bill) Donald (I10493)

|
| 600 | Bits and pieces of information are available for William Preston. He was a churchwarden in Chesham, England, in 1617. He was a solicitor and therefore likely a man of education and high social standing. Two of his sons preceded him to America. In his will, he mentions the help his second wife gave him during the journey over. Many sources, including the Dictionary of New England Settlers, state that William’s second wife, Mary, was the daughter of Robert Seabrook. This conclusion was drawn from a deed given to Mary by her son Jehiel Preston, who mentioned that the property came from his grandfather, Robert Seabrook. It turns out that Robert Seabrook was the grandfather of Jehiel’s wife, not Mary’s father. Mary’s maiden name therefore remains unknown. The family first came to Dorchester, Massachusetts, aboard the True Love in September 1635, along with their children Elizabeth, Sarah, Marie, and John. Only their son Daniel remained behind. Peter Wilson Coldham’s The Complete Book of Emigrants 1607–1660 gives their ages at departure as “William Preston 44; Marie Preston 34; Elizabeth Preston 11; Sara Preston 8; Marie Preston 6; John Preston 3.” Shortly afterward, the Prestons settled in New Haven, Connecticut. William signed the fundamental agreement on June 4, 1639. A land list dated approximately 1640 records a family of 10 persons living on an estate worth $40.00. William was admitted as a member of the Court on July 6, 1643, and took the oath of fidelity on July 1, 1644. In 1645, he was given responsibility for the town pound. In 1646, he was temporarily cast out of the church for lying and was reassigned a seat in March 1646/7. William probably died soon after making his will on July 9, 1647, as it was probated on September 7, 1647. In his will, he indicated that he believed he was on his deathbed. He gave small shares to his children: Joseph Alsop’s wife, Edward, Daniel, John (under 20), Mary (under 19), and William Meeker’s wife. The bulk of the estate went to his second wife. He also left three-quarters of his estate in Gigleswick, England, to his children by his first marriage and one-quarter to his second wife. (F-131) As to William’s parentage, a different theory was published in Genealogical and Family History of the State of Connecticut. It states that his father was John Preston, a son of William Preston and Anna Saunders. George Preston is the same earlier ancestor in both proposed lineages for William. George Preston (or his father, George?) of Valley Field was given the title of Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1637. (F-436c) George’s death date is listed 100 years too late in this document, which is also quoted below by Sharon Metcalf: “PRESTON The name Preston is of great antiquity in North Britain and was assumed by the family from territorial possessions in Midlothian in the time of Malcolm, King of Scots. Leolphus De Preston of the time of William the Lion in 1040 was grandfather of Sir William De Preston, one of the Scotch noblemen summoned to Berwick by Edward I. in the competition for the Crown of Scotland between Bruce and Baliol, the decision having been referred to Edward, After the death of Alexander III. in 1291, this Sir William De Preston was succeeded by his son. Nicol de Preston, one of the Scottish barons who swore fealty to King Edward I. He died in the beginning of the reign of David II. of Scotland, son of Robert Bruce, and was succeeded by his son, Sir Lawrence De Preston, who. in turn, was succeeded by Richard De Preston, who was seated at Preston Richard in Westmoreland in the time of Henry II. Sir Richard De Preston, fifth in descent from the above, Richard of Preston Richard, represented the county of Westmoreland in parliament in the seventeenth year of Edward III. His son, Sir Richard De Preston, had likewise the honor of being Knight of the Shire for Westmoreland in the same reign. twenty-seventh, Edward III., and in the same year, 1368, obtained license to empark five hundred acres. His successor was Sir John De Preston, of Preston Richard and Preston Patrick, and was member of parliament for Westmoreland in the thirty-sixth, thirty-ninth and forty-sixth years of Edward III. His son Richard had no male issue; his son John was judge of the court of common pleas in the reigns of Henry IV. and VI. and retired from the bench in consequence of great age in 1427. Children of Judge John Rev. John; Richard, his heir; and a daughter.(I) The American line is undoubtedly of this family and is traced to George Preston, of Valley Field, who was created a baronet of Nova Scotia in 1637. Children George, had a son Major William, who died in 1637; William, mentioned below.(II) William, son of George Preston, married Anna Saunders and lived in England in the reigns of Charles I. and Charles II., dying April 23, 1685. Children William, left no male issue Richard, took the title; had a son William who inherited it; Ellen; Alice; John, mentioned below.(III) John, son of William Preston, had two sons William, mentioned below; John, had a son William, who died without issue in 1729; was Lord Bishop of Fernsborough; Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.(IV) William (2), son of John Preston, came to this country from Yorkshire in 1635 with wife Mary and six children and settled at New Haven, Connecticut. The settlement of his estate, January 4, 1639, shows that he owned real estate in Yorkshire, England. Children Edward Daniel; Eliasaph; Sarah; Mary; John, of New Haven; Jeheil, born 1640, lived at Stratfield; Joseph, born 1646; Hackaliah. mentioned below; Eliasaph, twin of Hackaliah, 1650.” | PRESTON, William (I11102)
