Hello again all, Before my great grandparents Frederick KIRCHER and Margaret BAIRD married their families lived next door to each other at 411 and 413 Daly Street according to the 1900 census. According to other signed documents that I have...living next door to the BAIRDs at 415 Daly Street was Andrew J. KINGSTON who was married to Catherine West POTTS. Living just up the block at 429 Daly Street was Catherine's brother Charles T. POTTS who was married to an Ella born in NJ and they had 2 daughters Anna and Fannie. According to a KINGSTON researcher Charles (born 1860) and Catherine POTTS (born 1872) were the children of PA Civil War veteran Edward M. POTTS and an Amanda SCHAEFER. Amanda is listed as widow of Edward POTTS living at 415 Daly Street according the 1895 Philadelphia City Directory. Charles and Catherine's other siblings were... Pauline POTTS born 1858 married John SHONE son of James and Mary SHONE. Florence POTTS born 1869 Both Charles POTTS and Andrew KINGSTON signed affidavits stating what they knew about my great great grandfather and how long they knew him for when he applied for a Civil War pension in 1897. Searching the net (providing information is correct) I found a Samuel Douglass BAIRD who was the son of Thomas BAIRD and Mary DOUGLASS. He married Rebecca POTTS who was the daughter of Thomas POTTS and Deborah PYEWELL and the granddaughter of Thomas POTTS and Magdalena ROBESON. I also found a Thomas POTTS who was a tanner and died Spet 1726. Now I'm not sure if this family is connected to Thomas POTTS who was married to Magdalena ROBESON or not. Maybe someone out there does... Thomas POTTS the tanner was an executor to the will of his friend Richard SPARKS of Philadelphia in the early 1700's. My grandmother Margaret Bard's sister Annie married an unknown SPARKS and they had a son Harry born about 1894. Annie was a widow and living with her son and mother at 411 Daly in the 1900 census. Might anyone know if all of these BAIRDs, POTTS and SPARKS connect along the way and across the centuries somewhere? Happy Hunting! Ella PS. If you have old email address as ella12866@aol.com.
