It appears that the "three boys" listed on the census in Horace's household were Obediah Scott Preston, born about 1803-04 (he served as witness to Horace's Washington County,OH, land sale in 1832); Reuben Preston born November 1812 (he witnessed Serepta Preston's marriage application); and Oliver Preston born October 1814 (he is buried with two of Reuben's children in Delaware County, IN).
Horace's three ("3" on 1810 Waterford, Washington County, OH, census) oldest daughters (Hannah, Harriet, & Serepta) settled in Delaware County, IN.
Harriet married John Smith and Serepta married John's brother, Lewis Smith.
Lodiga (Preston) Wood is buried on one of John Smith's graves. This may be an indication that Lodiga (also seen as Lodiss) may be Harriet's sister (born about 1816 per the 1850 census.)
