I have James Ervin Shackleford and Sarah Bull as Preston Shackleford's parents. James Ervin Shackelford's parents are William Miracle and Nancy Shackleford. I'm not sure why James Ervin carried the Shackleford name; I don't remember the story, now. James Ervin Shackleford had one brother, Henry S Shackleford, and I don't know Nancy Shackleford's parents' names. Sarah Bull's parents are Preston Bull and Fannie Miracle, so that's likely where Preston Shackleford got his given name. Preston Shackleford and Mary Owens, also, had a daughter named Clarise Shackleford who married a Hendrickson. Does anyone know how many children Preston and Mary had? It sounds like they certainly had quite a few.
