Dear Sue, Hooray! William Oscar Preston was Eliza Preston's brother...and I had no idea that he was born in Bridgeport, Texas also. This was a mining family mostly and they moved around a lot. Once again thank you for the "find." Do these early birth records typically contain much information for the genealogist? Your kind help is very much appreciated.
