William Presbury/Presson/Preston has often been confused in family files as a descendant of Roger^1 Preston of Salem, many of whom are better known or more famous/notable. Willam married Priscilla Randall, and their son, David, has likewise been confused with David Preston, the son of Thomas^2 Preston (Roger^1) and his wife, Rebecca Nurse. Both Davids were born about the same time and were contemporaneous residents of Essex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay--one was at Beverly and Manchester; the other, at Salem/Salem Village.
