In the early census records of Wilkes County, 1784-1787, the names Joseph Pruitt and Isaac Preston appear.
In the 1790 census, Jo Prewitt is there, but not Isaac Preston. Neither is Joel Prewitt in this 1790 census even though he was born in 1786 to Jo Prewitt.
Furthermore, in all Federal census records of Wilkes County, from 1800-1860, the Preston surname does not appear again in any of the census records in the time period of fifty years.
On October 21, 1835, however, a marriage bond was issued for Charlotte Richardson and Isaac Preston.
Strangely, on that exact date---October 21, 1835---a marriage certificate was signed for Charlotte Richardson and Isaac Preuett.
Joel Prewett is the son of Joseph Pruitt, and Joel and Polly____ had the following children:
1810, Isaac
1812, Polly
1815, Joel, Jr.
1821, Jeremiah
1823, Sally
1827, Hardin
Children of Charlotte Richardson and Isaac Preuett are these:
1838-1922 Pheraby: she is buried at Dehart Baptist Church.
1841, Mary
1843, Preston
1846, Isaac
1848, Nancy
1850, Celia
1852, Joel
1856, Hardin
1858-1928, John A. married Irene Billings (1858-1918). They are buried at Rachel Baptist Church cemetery in Roaring River.
In Marriages of Wilkes County, North Carolina 1778-1868, there were no marriages with the surname Preston, and only seven marriages with the surnames Pruett, Pruit, Prewit, Prewitt for the same time period of 1778 to 1868.
So was the name of Isaac Preston on the marriage bond of 1835 a mistake, which was corrected on the marriage certificate on the same day? Or should we use the names of Isaac Preuett and Charlotte Richardson for future generations with Isaac being the son of Joel Prewit? And what became of Isaac Preston?
On May 7, 1787, a marriage bond was recorded for Isaac Low and Mary Preston. But after the date of that marriage bond, I have not been able to locate another document for Isaac Low or Mary Preston in Wilkes County. Perhaps they moved out of the county, or out of the state.
Isaac Preston is also named as a head of household in 1790 with a total of five people in his house, but the names of his wife and children are not recorded. Could Mary Preston be the daughter of Isaac Preston?
Meanwhile, Isaac Prewett and Charlotte Richardson had a total of nine children and one of the sons was named Isaac, born in 1846.
