   (1) William Presley was a member of the long assembly, which lasted, with adjournments,
from 1662 to 1676.  Presley was returned to Bacon's Assembly in June, 1676, where, when some
member remarked that a certain measure was "customary", Presley replied:  "Tis true it has
been customary; but if we had any bad customs amongst us, we are come here to mend them",
which set the House into laughter.  After the restoration of Berkeley, Presley was a member
of the royalist legislature, but is remembered for his saying that he believed "the Governor
would have hung half the country, if they had let him alone".
