O'NEAL who married Tima Ann Kimbrell. One of their children Mary Josephine O'neal married Everett A. Watts, who's child was Jessie Pauline Watts who married Frank K. Allen that are my parents. Anyway, our WATTS have a Drewsy / Jerusha Watts who married William POTTER. He is a son to Benjamin POTTER. Here is the 1880 Searcy County Census of Cove Township. August, 24. Listed in the house hold: # 691-585? , Benjamin Potter, 46, M, Farmer/mechanic, (b)Tn. Jane , 44, F, , (b) Tn. William Potter , 25, M, Farmer , (b)Tn. Drewsy , 22, F, , (b) Ky. Matachi , 19, M, , (b) Tn. Livingston , 17, M , (b) Tn. Leander , 15, M , (b) Tn. Sarah , 10, F , (b) Ark. Cmarintha , 8, F , (b) Ark. Also in the Ancestor Exchange that is published by James Johnston, is a notation on page 25, Vol. IX, No. 2 of the August 1999 issue about Benjamin Potter. " Sawed lumber was more precious than gold and was only used for making coffins for the dead. Later on Benjamin Potter and Nelson Hatchett put in a saw mill on the Red River. That was called a Water Saw Mill, and gave great relief to the whip saw busisness. But they could only run when they had plenty of water." A few years ago at the North Arkansas Ancestor Fair we obtained a photo of Drewsy WATTS POTTER. On the photo it said : "Drewsey Watts Born 1838 in Kentucky, married William F.POTTER. Photo compliments of Mamye Faye Roach, Clinton ,Ark." . This year at the ancestor fair, there was a lady who came by the WATTS table who was researching the POTTER's. We did obtain some of her material about the Potter family. I regrett to say that I do not have the lady's name who gave us the copies. Our hoast over the Watts table was Barbara VanCamp<barbvc@qwest.net> was the one who was conversing with the person and obtaining the information. You may wish to contact her for more details.
