Married Priscilla Catherine Bettis about 1845, based on the age of their first child. Documents on their marriage and on her veteran's pension application can be viewed for a price. They had six known children - George Washington, Alfred Kingdom, Allen Monroe, William Simpson, Mary Jane, and James Samuel.
Priscilla died in 1888 in Paris, Logan, Arkansas.
Preston remarried to Martha Lavina Brooks (Adams), daughter of William H. Brooks and his first wife who apparently died after they had recently migrated from Tennessee to Benton County, Missouri, possibly in childbirth or soon after. The name of Martha's mother has not been discovered yet. Martha's siblings were Sarah, Jane J., and Mary. They appear to have passed at a young age.
