Patty Cable Wright believes that Lovisa Taylor Preston Burhans is the daughter of Betsey and Liberty Preston. Even the earliest published histories and journals do not support this. The Cable tree on ancestry.com indicates that Lovisa's parents are William P. Preston and Elizabeth Schutt. However, I appreciate her interest in this memorial. 17 August 2023.
