Elizabeth Patton emigrated to America in 1738. She met her
husband, John Preston, while crossing the River Shannon in his
boat. John was a ship's carpenter and was said to be very
handsome. Elizabeth felonged to the "upper class" and a
ship's carpenter was below her station, so her family opposed the
marriage. Nevertheless, the couple eloped and married in spite
the objections of her parents
After their arrival in America, Elizabeth & John Preston
lived at the home of Colonel James Patton on his Spring Hill
estate near the present town of Staunton, VA.
