Lettice PRESTON m. Robert Breckenridge (his 2nd marriage)Ann PRESTON m. Rev John Brown
Ann PRESTON m. Rev John Brownsources: Annals of Augusta Co, VA pgs 56-58, 120-1 and The Descendants of Robert and John POAGEThis is a collateral line for me...My ancestor was Elizabeth PRESTON who m. Robert POAGE.I assume this is her brother, John PRESTON because she had a brother by that name, but I have no proof of that.
