Oops!! This is not my Niblett line. Someone posted data showing John Niblett was not the son of William and Martha.

So, let's look at what I have:

John Henry Niblett was born 1826 Gloucester, England.
John said he came from a well-to-do family in England. The story goes that he refused his inheritance as he felt it was too little. It is said that he recieved letter's from his family in England, they offered to pay passage for him and his family to return.
John named his children: John Henry, Mary Ann, George Washington, James Carol,
Emily,Caroline Polina Abbigail, Rebecca Jane, Thomas Lee and Joseph. This family lived near Ft. Smith, Arkansas. and it is said that Mary Preston died at his home.
Mary and George Preston are buried in a Military Cemetery in Ft. Smith, as are most of her children.

His sister was Mary Niblett born about 1808 England. She served the table of Queen Victoria. This is her grandson's statement "She came here from England, where she had been known to Queen Victoria and her household attendants in that department which means so much to royal, happiness - the table.." Mary first married Philip Holmes or Charles Philip Holmes and had children:Sophia Elizabeth, Ann, Charles.
She arrived in New York in 1840, remarried around 1843 to George Preston at Ft. Gibson, Arkansas.

I definitely need help in finding parents for Mary and John Henry Niblett.
