This Pressey genealogy is mostly in the state of Indiana beginning with Charles Pressey. The name is occasionally spelled incorrectly as Pressy, Presse and Pressie. Census takers have even spelled it as Presley.
Charles Pressey b. about 1796 in New Hampshire
married a Katherine/Catherine/or Caroline Stork/Stark/ or Sturk in Indiana b. about 1804 Netherlands?
Indiana State Library lists Charles Pressey and Catherine Stork m. April 31, 1825 in Knox County, Indiana - at that time the entire state of Indiana was Knox County
There is a possibility of another marriage to a Sarah Drain on January 31, 1844 - this one is not proven however.
Another definite marriage of Charle Pressey is to Delilah Cummings on July 29, 1847. Delilah was a widow of a man named Cumming or Cummins because on the 1850 census several children are listed. There are rumors she might have been marrried to someone before that with the last name of Moore. Delilah's maiden name was Rhoades (with various spellings). Her middle name is likely Rachel. She was born in 1817 and I believe she is buried in Pike County, Indiana.
