• Notes

  Her husband was probably a Malon Preston as there was a person of his name married to an Amy Coates in London Grove Twp., Chester Co., PA according to a Harlan Genealogy book in the possession of Charlotte Coates Siercks. The record isrence to the marriage of their daughter, Rebecca to a William Preston in 1835 in Deer Creek MM, Harford Co, MD. She was born in 1816 in Chester Co., PA where this Amy would have lived and been the right age to be her daughter. The fact that they named a daughter Rebecca after Amy's sister Rebecca also supports Mahlon being her spouse. Amy and Mahlon were farmers in London Grove Twp.
