John
Calvin Preston was born in Ohio in 1825. He and several of his
brothers went to California to participate in the Gold Rush.
He married Sarah Jane Lindsey (note by Susan Grabek: my
great-grandmother) and they had twelve children. They lived in
California. After John's death Sarah Jane married three more
times. Information on their ancestry as well as their
descendants is included in this volume. Descendants now live
in California, Washington, and elsewhere.
Co-authors Rosaline Preston (now deceased) and Carol Huber
have served as wonderful mentors to get me started researching
Lindsey's. Long before DNA testing pointed the way to
the Long Marsh, Rosaline encouraged me to look there for our
roots. Rosaline and Carol also co-wrote The Preston Lindsey
Trail II, which is now out-of-print. They made the first
book available to the Family History Library, where it is
available on microfilm (FHL #2055999 - Item 8). The FHL
has now digitized the book so it can be read online.
