The Preston Family Papers focus on the family of William Preston and his son John Preston.","Colonel William Preston, as he was known to his contemporaries and historians alike, was born in Newton Limaviddy in Londonderry County in northern Ireland on 25 December 1730 to John and Elizabeth Patton\nPreston. His family emigrated to Virginia in 1738 settling in Augusta County. After John Preston died in March 1748 .Elizabeth struggled to raise her one son William and four daughters Lettice, Margaret, Ann, and\nMary.","In late 1749 the family moved closer to Elizabeth's brother. Colonel James Patton, a merchant, land agent, and militia colonel guided his young nephew in education and employment. Presbyterian minister John\nCraig tutored the young man in history, mathematics, and penmanship. William utilized this education as a secretary for his uncle. In time he also labored as a clerk for the Augusta County vestry which essentially\ncontrolled most county affairs.","William also surveyed land for his uncle who had received a large land grant, known as the Wood's River Grant in 1745. Although John Buchanan was Patton's principal surveyor, William Preston surveyed much of\nthe land along the New River. By 1753, Preston had traveled extensively through Virginia and present day Maryland and Pennsylvania, surveying and keeping his uncle's accounts.","Tragedy struck in July 1755 when James Patton and several other settlers were massacred by Shawnee Indians. William, already a captain of rangers (militia) began a lifelong commitment to militia service after\nhis uncle's death. He not only served throughout the French and Indian War (1754-1763) but also in the Revolutionary War. In the latter, he fought at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in 1781 and proved valuable\nin protecting patriots against those settlers (Tories) loyal to England.","On 17 July 1761 William married Susanna Smith of Hanover Court House. Susanna, the daughter of carpenter Francis Smith, had also received extensive schooling from a Presbyterian cleric. The compatible couple\nhad twelve children including sons John, Francis, William, John Patton, and Thomas Lewis. Their daughters included Elizabeth, Sarah, Ann, Susanna, Mary, Letitia, and Peggy Brown Preston.","After residing at Greenfield, Botetourt County for several years, Preston moved his large family to Montgomery County near present-day Blacksburg in 1774. There he build Smithfield, a home which housed many\ngenerations of Prestons.","In Montgomery County, William continued his career as a public servant. In Botetourt and Augusta counties, he had been a member of the House of Burgesses, coroner, escheator, and county surveyor. In Montgomery\nCounty, he served as a justice, sheriff, and surveyor. He also was chairman of the Committee of Safety for Fincastle County (Montgomery County was formed in 1777 out of Fincastle).","With his death on 28 June 1783, William Preston left his family considerable wealth in land, personal property, and slaves. His widow and eldest son carefully managed the estate and ensured that the large\nfamily continued to enjoy the prosperity their father had sown.","John Preston followed his father's model of public and military service. Born in May 1762, he married Mary Radford. Together they reared five children including William, John, Elizabeth, Susan and Sarah. In\n1811 he married Elizabeth Ann Carrington Mayo of Richmond with whom he had one son Edward Carrington Preston.","Preston, known as General Preston, served as a captain, lieutenant colonel, and ultimately major general in the Virginia militia. He also worked as justice of the peace, surveyor, tax commissioner, highway\noverseer, and store merchant.","In statewide office, he served as delegate in 1783, 1791, and 1803 and senator from 1792 to 1800. John Preston was Treasurer of Virginia from 1809 to 1819. Unfortunately his later years were tinged with\nscandal. In 1820, the discovery of a deficiency in his accounts during his term as Treasurer caused the Preston family emotional and financial hardship. A deed of trust was entered against his property and soon\nhis vast real estate holdings were sold to reimburse the state. Preston died in March 1827.","William's sons Francis and James Patton also led successful lives. Francis studied law at the College of William and Mary and lived in Abingdon and Saltville, Va. He married Sarah Buchanan Campbell, the\ndaughter of General William Campbell, in January 1793. They had ten children. Francis served in the General Assembly, Congress, and was brigadier general in the Virginia Militia. He died in 1836.","James Patton Preston also studied law at William and Mary.

Their daughters included Elizabeth, Sarah, Ann, Susanna, Mary, Letitia, and Peggy Brown Preston.","After residing at Greenfield, Botetourt County for several years, Preston moved his large family to Montgomery County near present-day Blacksburg in 1774. There he build Smithfield, a home which housed many\ngenerations of Prestons.","In Montgomery County, William continued his career as a public servant. In Botetourt and Augusta counties, he had been a member of the House of Burgesses, coroner, escheator, and county surveyor. In Montgomery\nCounty, he served as a justice, sheriff, and surveyor. He also was chairman of the Committee of Safety for Fincastle County (Montgomery County was formed in 1777 out of Fincastle).","With his death on 28 June 1783, William Preston left his family considerable wealth in land, personal property, and slaves. His widow and eldest son carefully managed the estate and ensured that the large\nfamily continued to enjoy the prosperity their father had sown.","John Preston followed his father's model of public and military service. Born in May 1762, he married Mary Radford. Together they reared five children including William, John, Elizabeth, Susan and Sarah. In\n1811 he married Elizabeth Ann Carrington Mayo of Richmond with whom he had one son Edward Carrington Preston.","Preston, known as General Preston, served as a captain, lieutenant colonel, and ultimately major general in the Virginia militia. He also worked as justice of the peace, surveyor, tax commissioner, highway\noverseer, and store merchant.","In statewide office, he served as delegate in 1783, 1791, and 1803 and senator from 1792 to 1800. John Preston was Treasurer of Virginia from 1809 to 1819. Unfortunately his later years were tinged with\nscandal. In 1820, the discovery of a deficiency in his accounts during his term as Treasurer caused the Preston family emotional and financial hardship. A deed of trust was entered against his property and soon\nhis vast real estate holdings were sold to reimburse the state. Preston died in March 1827.","William's sons Francis and James Patton also led successful lives. Francis studied law at the College of William and Mary and lived in Abingdon and Saltville, Va. He married Sarah Buchanan Campbell, the\ndaughter of General William Campbell, in January 1793. They had ten children. Francis served in the General Assembly, Congress, and was brigadier general in the Virginia Militia. He died in 1836.","James Patton Preston also studied law at William and Mary. He married Nancy Taylor of Norfolk and raised six children. Preston was surveyor, justice of the peace, and trustee for the town of Blacksburg. In 1802\nhe was elected to the Virginia State Senate. From 1816 to 1819 he served as Governor. At the time of his death in 1843, his estate was valued at $34,845."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Preston Family Papers chronicle the family, business, and political life of a prominent Southwest Virginia family.
