Hi Lorene,
It is so true that one lead can lead to another.I find the Patton/Preston history very interesting.Through William Preston we understand so much about Col. John Floyd(1751-1783), and the Floyd/Preston/Buchanan family ties.I'm an old fan of the Mary Draper Ingalls story!It seems that modern historians tend to forget what a barrier West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky were back then.But, I digress!Anyway we are looking for George Rogers Clark Floyd's(1810-1895)"wife" Cozbia Ellen Burress(b. abt 1825).Their daughter, Mary Columbia Floyd (1850-1938) is our gg-grandmother, her son, George Rogers Clark Wiles(1877-1941)is our g-grandfather.
