Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Samuel PRESBY  [2] 
    • "William Presbrey and His Descendants": Samuel Presbrey was nine years old when his father moved from Taunton to Keene, N.H. For a number of years after his marriage Samuel Presbrey lived on a farm near Cowen's Pond in Lyman, N.H. He moved from there to Lunenburg, VT., where he spent the rest of his life. About this time some of the Presbreys of New Hampshire began to spell their name the shorter way, viz: Presby. However, not all of the generation of this time changed the spelling. Elisha Presbrey never changed his name, and on his tomb stone it is spelled Presbrey. All the generations in New Hampshire since the fourth generation have spelled the name Presby. When Elisha Presbrey moved from Taunton to Keene, N.H., in 1794, there were several families living in Bradford, N.H., who spelled the name Presby. They were not related to our family, but it may be that their spelling of the name had some influence in changing the spelling of our name. [1]
