Yes, I'm pretty sure this Elizabeth Cook is the daughter of Phebe Russell and Smith Preston. By the 1860 census, the only child mentioned is a son named Preston. The NY census of 1865 has Elizabeth's birthplace as Dutchess County. Her maternal grandparents were AnnaTherase Taber and John Russell. Her paternal grandparents were Ebenezer Preston and Phebe Odell.
I have never seen the name Pelton connected to this family, at least in Dutchess County.
If I come across anything I'll let you know.
