Prestons of Lancaster, Yorkshire
My line of Prestons begins with Thomas Preston (brothers William, John, Roger, Jonathan).Thomas married Sarah Brunton, a Quaker.Their children were: James b 1846, Sarah Ann b 1848, John, Alice b 1853, Mary b 1858 and William b 1863.William married Martha Clewett.Their children are Emily b 1888, Harold b 1890 (my grandfather), Florence b 1893, Alpha b 1895, Ethel b 1896 and Ruth.Martha died when Ruth was a baby.William and Martha came to NY City in 1892-3, then Chicago and Harold came to Saskatchewan, Canada in the early 1900s.William came also.He was a great musician and choir director.Any connections?
