Hi Sandy; I hope you will be able to find my g-grandfather on the 1855 State census. His name is Leroy Potter and he was born in 1839. I have not been able to find any record of him before the 1860 Census. Maybe I will be lucky.

Hi Shirley, I wasn't able to find Leroy on any state census but Potter is a very common name here in Oneonta. I checked my listings from Deaths Reported by Oneonta City Clerk to The Herald and it lists Potter, Leroy H d Mar 3, 1904; age 64 years; in Waverly; bur. Riverside. There are lots of Potters buried in Riverside Cem. in Oneonta but no Leroy and none that died 1904. I have compiled the records and read the stones. Perhaps it was Riverside Cem but in a different town. I also checked Oneonta Plains (of which I am cem. historian) and Glenwood both of which I've compiled records and read stones and nothing. If you wish any information on the Potters in Riverside, please contact me privately.
