Thanks so very much for the link address and ALL the work that you did. I appreciate it very much. Living in Nebraska, limits my hands on reseach for Joseph Potter b. 1769 in ? N.C. I went to the surname list, and found someone that had put in a query in 1998 that is looking for another Potter (Benjamine). Sorry that I don't have any information for him, but now I know that I AM NOT the ONLY ONE looking for the NC Potters. My Potters had two sons, Ephriam (my family line) and Samuel. Wife was Lydia ? Marriage was ? Where in N.C. did they live? Any way, I was able to find other sources that I can use to try to find these Potter who at this moment seem to have lived on the moon in N.C. I hope that I will soon be able to write and tell you all that I have had success. Thanks again, I really appreciate all the work. Mary Berggren bergie@inebraska.com
