First I want the 'thank you' for sending me the information you had on Mary Presson and husband. I also want to 'thank you' for that wonderful saying and picture that was also in that email. May I have your permission to use that saying? I want to give you a bit of information that I have on Mary Presson. She married William on August 20, 1808 in Surry Co., VA. Now Mary's parents are: Tomer Presson b: July 23, 1750 in Charles Parish, York Co., VA and his wife was Elizabeth. They had nine children, one being Mary. Now Tomer's parents are: Robert Presson and Frances Tomer and Robert's parents are: Nicholas Presson and his second wife, Elizabeth. I also wanted to ask you about Talmadge Booth. I saw that he (not sure if that is male or female) wrote a letter to you, his he related to the Pressons? How? And how are you related? We are planning a trip to Richmond, Virginia on August 27 and will be staying with a cousin who lives on Mapleton Road in Richmond, is that near where you live? We will be meeting, for the first time, Billy Austin and Dianna Presson who also live in Richmond. We will be going to Yorktown to do research and in Surry County to the Courthouse there. Do you have a copy of the Booth Family Bible? Could you scan me a copy? I'd like to find out who Mary's children were. Do you think Yorktown would have any information on Mary and her family? I wonder if she left a Will? I didn't understand the surity of $500? What does that mean? I'm still learning.....I've only been working on this since Nov of 1999. Thank you for helping me and may God Bless You! Joann

Nicholas Presson
Notes - Apparently spelled name Pressey until abt 1707 when it appears that the family changed to "Presson". This is borne out by early records - Register of Charles Parish 16909 where Nicholas was listed as the father of a daughter, perhaps Elizabeth whose birth is recorded in Charles County Records, 1648 - 1789 as Elizabeth Pressey, daugheter of Nicholas and Jane Pressey, 1/11/1690.
Jane was his 1st wife, Elizabeth the 2nd The best guess is that Nick was born at least by 1670 and died on 4/4/1732, Charles Parish.
He married Jane by abt 1689 who died11/3/1699 as recorded in the Register although the Register lists the birth of Mary in 1700 and Thomas in 1703 as children of Nicholas and Jane.
He married Elizabeth that same year who lived at least until 1719 when her last child Daniel was born.
Robert Presson Son of Nicholas and Elizabeth, born abt 1714 In Charles Parish (births and deaths for 1714-1715 were lost by the Vestry Clerk) and died in 1757 ; in July of that year, the court speaks of him as deceased although the Register lists his death on 11/1/1757.
He married probably Frances Tomer, daughter of Jon and Mary Tomer. There is no verification of this marriage (records do not exist in this early period. The naming of a son "Tomer" and the continued use of this unusual name in later generations strongly indicate she was a Tomer and the daughter of John Tomer, Jr. and his wife, Mary born 11/1/1713, died 5/13/1757 all in Charles Parish and recorded in the Register.
Tomer Presson Son of Pobert and Frances, born in Charles Parish on 7/23/1750 and died in Surry Co in 1750. He married Elizabeth who was living in 1807 and died by 1809 in Surry.
His son James' will was unwitnessed and when brought for probate, William Cornwell (perhaps his brother-in -law) and Thomas Presson swore to the court that the handwriting was that of Tomer and that he (James) had written and signed the will.
Daughter Mary was living when Tomer made his will in 1801 and is possibly rthe Mary Presson who married William Cornwell in Surry Co. in 1808.
