You are aware that the area contains Meshack and Shadrach Preston, as well
as a Peter Preston. I notice oddly enough that in Peter Preston's household
in 1850 there was an Enoch Clyce age 10. Peter was age 70, his wife Sarah
age 68 and their two sons Joseph 30 and John 27 were living with them.
Will keep my eyes open for an Enoch Preston.
