Charlotte, Thank you for the offer. Trying to locate any census records wherein appeared one Harriett POTTER. Harriett would be listed under the household of either a William POTTER or George POTTER. She had a daughter named Louise (or Louisa). Harriett is my great, grandma. She was black, and I was told she was likely a slave at some point in time. I am having a grave time of this. Do you know if anyone has any records pertaining to slaves in Manchester?

Renee, According to James Welch's annotated 1860 Clay County Census, in HH#3 was slave owner Barton POTTER. Potter had the following slaves: (age/sex/color) B-black, M-mulatto: 50 FB, 40 FB, 35 MM, 40 FB, 30 MM, 30 MM, 30 MM, 23 FB, 17 FB, 15 FB, 5 FB, 3 FB, 2MM, 10/12 MM. This slave owner could be the source of your POTTER family name.
