Hi Janet,
You are correct, that was a typo, should be c.1710 instead of an 1810.Although many have posted that Philip Preston (father of Thomas and grandfather of Joel) is a descendant of George Preston of Ingestrie, Staffordshire, England, some Preston researchers have reservations, I among them.There has never been a documented link from England to America for Philip who just appears to have arrived in Bedford County, VA as a middle-aged man in the 1740's.Currently there is a DNA study in progress trying to establish whether or not Philip is descended from one of the fully documented New England or other lines.
Can you tell me how your husband William descended from Permelia Preston and James Yeargon?Here is all I have, and my YEARGIN sources.
