Seek to have profile Elizabeth (Preston) White (abt.1652-1722) attached as daughter of Daniel and Mary. The 1911 article of Miss Elizabeth French breaking down the will of Christopher Gibson mentions the wife of john Withington as Elizabeth Preston d/o Daniel Preston and gr. daughter of William Preston. Thank you.

Hi Dave,

This profile need some clean up. would you be willing to work on it? Or at least provide a list of children and cite the source you mentioned?

Thank you for asking. Beyond Mary, Daniel Jr., and Elizabeth Preston Withington White additional children have been elusive to locate. If Elizabeth was born around 1652 her mother Mary certainly could have had more children. Daniel Sr.'s probate was Suffolk Case #3095. There appears to be no will with only a reference to "kinswoman" Mary Jenkins (which seems odd for a daughter) for a funeral charge. Boston has a death recorded for John Preston, 6 June 1663, who I don't think is on Wikitree. Speculative that he was a son of Daniel/Mary. I'm really short on the skills to work on a profile like this properly, but thank you again.
