I'm looking for info on a John Preston - New Jersy around 1860 - 1910

My Prestons were from Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, 1700s/1800s. Some of them were college servants at Worcester College (James, Joseph), others were tailors (Richard, John) and another, my 4 x great grandfather, Charles Preston, was an upholsterer. The earliest generation I know is my 6 x Great Grandfather, Joseph Preston, a cooper, who married Mary Best in 1756 at St. Mary Magdalen, Oxford. He was the son of Joseph Preston, a victualler.

I'm not really researching the prestons, but my husband's last name is preston and he is doing his tree. His name is Alastair Stewart, his dad's name was Kenneth Stewart all from Scotland.

Hi Ann:
Did you see Heather's blog, "Hawaii- the Boston connection to a royal lineage" Interesting comments about Emersons. Equally interesting, see the comment she left below the blog:

I am researching my husband's family. They are the Presbury - Presson - Preston family who lived in Chester and Auburn New Hamphsire. His line is descended from Emerson Preston.

Hi Heather!
Great to see you here. We have exchanged notes before.
I have an odd apparent 2nd marraige for Nehemiah. Will post as a query.
I set up a Presbury board. Would so like to find what happened to Edward Presbury's sons. --GJ

I also descend from William Preston/Presbury of Beverly, actually two lines. I was born in Beverly!

My first line goes from William Presbury to his son Nehemiah Preston who married Abigail Allen, to Hannah Preston who married Robert Woodbury in 1745/6. My mom is also an Allen from Abigail Allen's Manchester Allens.


I also have a line from William to his son Randall Preston and Susanna Stone, to William Presson who married Abigail Sargent in 1761 in Gloucester.

Alvesta, was my father's grandmother. She passed in 1996 at the age of 86, placing her birth around 1910.Again, any help you can find is greatly appreciated.
