Jeffery Preston b. 1791 in Bedford Co. Virginia, married Jane C. "Jency" Burgess about 1814. The records of Floyd County (Order Book No. 6) show that Nathan Preston was a Revolutionary soldier, and that Nathan and Elizabeth had children: Jeffrey, Eliphus, Nancy, married a Hylton, Eda, married a Brown, Elizabeth married a VanHoose and Matilda married a Lewis. It states that Nathan's wife Elizabeth died 1-29-1846. The records also make mention of Elizabeth Preston being a widow of Nathan Preston the Revolutionary soldier, and that Mr. Preston died 8-4-1832. This is proof that Jeffrey was a son of Nathan, who evidently was a brother of Moses, the first. Winfred Preston, a grandson of Jeffrey said that Jeffrey was a brother of "Coby" and "Life" Preston." 'Coby' was the nickname for Moses and 'Life' was the nickname for Eliphaz Preston.

Apparently Jeffrey married 2nd Lucinda Preston b.1827 in Kentucky. Jeffrey and Lucinda had the following children:

Thomas Jefferson Preston b.1847

Julia A. Preston b.1848

Mary J. Preston b.1849

Matilda Preston b.1851

Cynthia A. Preston b.1853

James L. Preston b.1857

Isaac L. Preston b.1859
