337. William1 Preston; baptized 28 Jan 1590/91 at Giggleswick, York, Eng;231 married Elizabeth Sale, daughter of Edward Sale and Elizabeth Gifford, 11 Oct 1613 at Chesham, Buckingham, Eng;145 died 4 Jan 1649 at New Haven, CT, at age 57.145
He "Son of Adam PRESTON and Isabel BRAITHWAITE. Churchwarden at Chesham in 1617. Embarked for New England Sep. 19, 1635 in the Truelove with all children except Edward and Daniel, who came to New England earlier in the year. William signed the fundamental agreement on Jun. 4, 1639 at New Haven, CT, and took the oath of fidelity on Jul. 1, 1644. Married first Oct. 11, 1613, Chesham, Buckingham, England; and second 1634-1635 Mary (sometimes given as Mary SEABROOK)."
145 He "WILLIAM, Dorchester 1635, came
in the Truelove, the latest of seventeen sh. from London to Boston that
yr. aged 44, with w. Mary, 34, and four ch. Eliz. 11; Sarah, 8; Mary,
6; and John, 3; rem. to New Haven in season to be among first subscr.
of the compact, 1639; and there had Jehiel, bapt. 14 June 1640; Hack-
aliah, and Eliasaph, tw. 9 Apr. 1643; and Joseph, 24 Jan. 1647. I
suppose mo. of these latter ch. was a d. of Robert Seabrook, wh.
gave his s. Jehiel P. and Thomas Fairchild, jr. his home lot. He
prob. d. not long after date of his will, 9 July 1647, in wh. he speaks of
childr. of the first and sec. w. but does not enable us to disting. them,
and by conject. I should make of the ch. brot. from Eng. the greater
part if not all by first w. three s. and three ds. Edward, Daniel, John,
Eliz. Sarah, and Mary; but of the ds. refers to one as w. of Joseph
Alsop, prob. Eliz. to ano. as w. of William Meekes or Mix, prob. Sarah;
and we, therefore, may well suppose that Mary was then unm. He
owned est. in Giggleswick, Co. York, in the most W. part of the W.
Riding. In that parish of the hill country were b. the parents of
the celebr. William Paley, and of its high sch. his f. was master. "61
