    ... Col. Presley was murdered by his servants, and his will dated Aug. 12, 1748, was proved Sept. 10, 1750. With him the male line of the Presley family in Virginia appears to have become extinct. Col. Peter Presley gave nearly all of his extensive estates in Virginia and elsewhere to his grandson Presley Thornton, who was born in 1722, resided at "Northumberland House," and was a member of the council from 1760 till his death December 8, 1769. For his descendants see QUARTERLY, IV., 176.
