I was looking for some death dates on Damon's Cemetery index.
I came across the name "Phineas Preston". I have a great great grandmother who
was a Preston. I think she had an uncle (older than the person listed below) named
"Phineas".
So I was wondering how this younger Phineas fits in with Harriet and Serepta (Preston)
Smith, Hannah (Preston) Whitney, and Reuben Preston.
The Delaware County, IN, Phineas married Mary Booker Keisling. Their daughter, Hannah M.
Preston (named after the above Hannah Whitney?) died in Delaware County, IN, on April 13,
1884, at the age of 21 years, 24 days.
So I was wondering if Harriet, Serepta (1809-1891), and Hannah Preston (sisters), Reuben
Preston (whose daughter died in Delaware County), and Phineas (mentioned above) were
related. Cousins?
I am missing some pieces to my "puzzle" and I am hoping to locate someone who
knows more about the Prestons than I do.
Each small part found IS important!
