    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Witt,Scruggs,Potts, Barker, McBrayer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HKB.2ACI/2062.2.1 Message Board Post: I do so appreciate all of the information and history collected here, Gary. I am the third great granddaughter of Cinthia or Cynthia Potts, E.F.Pott's sister I do believe. Cynthia Potts appears in 1850 Census Records with her husband John D. Barker. Cinthia Potts and John D. Barker left South Carolina I believe because they were tired of their families' constant legal difficulties. I have a great deal of information and documentation on these altercations in Laurens, S.C. Cinthia Potts Barker had four daughters: Emma Elizabeth Barker, Susan Teresa Barker McBrayer McDonald, Isabella or "Belle" Barker, and young Cinthia Barker. I believe John D. Barker died sometime between 1852, when he served from his county as a State Legislature in the Mississippi State House, and 1860 when Cinthia Barker is living with her daughter and son in law but apparently on property now belonging to her to the tune of a $14,000 valuation. At any rate, I have much more on this line I would l! ike to share if you are interested. I am particularly interested in finding documentation that would place E.F. and Cinthia Potts as siblings and children of Jonathan and Elizabeth Potts of S.C. ANd by the way, several of Cinthia Potts Barkers' daughters and their babies as well as Cinthia Potts Barker herself are buried in the Potts Family Cemetery.
