    [cos1776 Note: Birth date & place does not agree with Dorman (below), but does match what Dorman has for sister Susanna Preston who m. Nathaniel Hart. At this time, I do not know which is correct and therefore include both with this one as an alternate, only because it does say that she was the 8th child and Dorman's birth info is a better fit with the other known facts of her siblings.]
