6. | Phineas (Archibald)* (or John) Preston (4.Phineas*3, 2.Mary*2, 1.Alice*1) was born in 1672 in Tara, Ardsallagh Townland, Co Meath, Leinster,Ireland; died before 28 Apr 1703 in Ulster, Ireland; was buried on 28 Apr 1703. Other Events and Attributes:
- Occupation: "Valleyfield" Prestons, north of England
Notes:
"Archibald Preston's parents were Phineas and Letitia Hammond Preston, a Protestant couple born of families that were clearly anti-Royalist. In the Cavalier era, that time that featured the return of the Stuart Prince of Wales Charles II to the English throne following the death of Oliver Cromwell, both Prestons and Hammonds, the latter of which included a "regicide" (an official found guilty of helping to orchestrate the execution of King Charles I in 1649), suffered. Possibly coincidental, but within a year of the departure of the Prestons for the plantations of Ireland, King Charles II attempted in 1672, with overwhelming protests from his parliament, to remove laws that punished religious dissent. The pro-Stuart Anglican backlash against both Protestant and Catholic dissenters no doubt left many Puritans still in England uneasy, and it was said that the family had originally left England because of religious persecution."
