I'd be curious to see an ancestral chart of the Prestons. In the 1950s John Preston was the moderator at town meetings. He was a graduate of Harvard and highly respected by all. I was 10 when a Mrs. Preston moved in with us for a yr. I never knew why or what her relation to other Prestons in town was.

Gilman's grave is in Center Village Cemetery, Main Street. There are many of slate gravestones in fine condition, The Old Burying Ground has many. We also have a crack team working on restoring some of the limestone graves.
