David PRESTON b 1830 & wife Mary JUSTICE
Does anybody know who the parents are of David Preston b. 1830 or the parents of his wife Mary "Polly" Slone b. 1834? Does anybody exactly when and where David & Polly were married? They were listed on the 1870 Lawrence Co., KY census. The following is an extraction from that census:
Precinct number 7 July 11, 1870 Post Office, Louisa
6-6 PRESTON, David 40 M W Farmer 200 150 KY
Mary 36 F W Keep House KY
George 18 M W Farm Laborer KY
Bateman 16 M W Farm Laborer KY
Emaline 14 F W KY
Kalab 12 M W KY
Polly 9 F W KY
Eliphas 7 M W KY
McClellan 6 M W KY
A close neighbor in household #13 is James Preston age 38 and his wife Rhoda Spencer? and their children. Perhaps, James is a close relation to David due to the close proximity of their households.
David died before 1880. His widow Polly and family are listed in the Martin County, Kentucky census in 1880.
The following is an extraction from that census:
#78 PRESTON, Polly 46
Caleb 22
Polly 20
Eliphus 18
P. McClellan 16
P. McClellan married in 1891 to Lucinda Anne Dempsey b. 1856, dau. of Lewis Dempsey b. 1814 and Nancy Stepp b. abt. 1830. P. McClelland was commonly known as "P". Does anybody know what the P stands for? While P and his wife Lucinda were seperated, P became involved with Mary Anne (Dempsey) Coleman b. abt. 1847, wife of John Coleman b. 1847. Does anybody know who were the parents of Mary Anne Dempsey? Mary Anne and P had a child out of wedlock in 1886. This child's name was Susan or Susie. Since Susie was raised by her mother and her step-father John Coleman, she used the name Susan Coleman or Susie Coleman, even though her real father was P Preston.
Any answers to the above questions would be very appreciated.
