Does anyone know of a connection between these families? There is a notation in our Bible with the name PEASE near my ggg-grandmother Camilla Bliss b. 1809 Hartwick, Otsego County, N.Y. She married George Whitefield Potter b. 1809 Hartwick, Ostego , N.Y. I'm also looking for a possible Whitefield connection. George is listed as the son of Deacon Daniel Potter of Conn. in the LDS and also in a DAR report. Daniel was first married to Naomi Crissey. After her death he mrd. Mrs. Martha Sanders and had one child my ggg-grandfather George Whitefield Potter.

Does anyone out there know if one or more of the early New England Potters were Roman Catholics or "Recusants"? . . . . I really am beginning to wonder because of some of the Essex, England family associations which are definitely Catholic . . any suggestions or hunches appreciated Chris Wicks Bocking End Braintree Essex England

Ernest, Well I've traced G. R. Potter From 1903- SLC, Utah back to his birth in Jefferson Co. N.Y.-1850 w/Parents: ROBERT & SUSAN POTTER- I found him in the 1900 census M:Cordelia @ 1888-she's from Penns. This Gilbert did mining business with my grandad-JOSEPH P.STEVENS in MONTANA- 1897-1905. I have copies of the 1850, 1860 census's with G.R. on it! I also have copies of his Mining Patent Applications with a Declaration Of Citizenship, along with verification from an Attorney that he is Indeed GILBERT R.POTTER............do not know what the 'R' stands for! I do believe him to be a relative of G/Grandma- CAROLINE(Potter)Stevens & possibly my other G/Grandma- EMMA(Potter)LENOX- Missouri! I also have obtained a Marriage Record for a GILBERT POTTER M:RACHEL SMITH- dated 1809- from Co.

What I have learned to do - the hard way :o) is to note all refs to the surname and add them to a list with the spelling variations in a custom dictionery on Word, I don't necessarily follow them through at that point in time, as I am too easily distracted anyway! But, when something "rings a bell" at a later date you can use Explorer to search for any variations. Just for information, in early records [pre 17th c. generally], I have found POTTER as POTYER, POTTYER, POTER, POTIER, and POTERE so far [with cross refs to prove they are the same family]. Another thing I have noted is with ref. to the use of an alias. Generally speaking, rather than alias be an indication of illegitimacy [as many researchers suggest], or that the individual is issue from a second marriage, or a step child, I have found in Essex that it is often used to indicate a mother's maiden name. For example, Elizabeth STONE alias POTTER in 1576, was a daughter of William POTTER since married to Gregory STONE. I have other similar references for different surnames, the most annoying being WICKS alias MATHEW, which is the same family as MATHEW alias WICKS. One complete branch of my WICKS family date back to a MATHEW/WICKS marriage in the early 16th century. Some of the issue continued to be called MATHEW alias WICKS, others WICKS alias MATHEW down to the 17th century when they dropped the alias and became either WICKS or MATHEW. I don't know how general this sort of practice was in England, or for how long it persisted - but I hope someone finds it useful to know.

Change my address to lcpotter4@aol.com Thanks Clarice

Hello List, I am searching for information on Thomas Potter (b. abt. 1771 New Haven, CT d. 1857 in NY). His father was Lemuel Potter (b. 1742 in New Haven, CT) and his mother was Rachel Perkins. This Potter family is fairly well documented from Lemuel back to John or William Potter. There seems to be a difference of opinion on whether this line descends from John or William. I am particularly interested in finding information on Thomas (b. m. d. etc.). A LDS file states that Thomas' wife was Lucy ? (as with most LDS files, this must be confirmed). I have information on Thomas' descendants which I would be glad to share. I would appreciate any information on this Potter line that anyone has to share. Nick Mizaur
