Susan M. Raymond asked if anyone is working on Potters of Oswego. I don't have any in Oswego but all around you. I have Potters in Oneida, Herkimer, Montgomery and Lewis Cos. I descend from John and Susan (Shirley) Potter to Samuel and Hanah Barlet to David S. and Mary (Pruyn) to Julia Gertrude Potter and George Owen. At this point these grandparents moved to Iowa then to Wisconsin and my grandmother came into Nebraska to teach school. This is where I am. Does this fit anywhere for you. I have a copy of a Potter Genealogy that has 10 different Potter families. Will be glad to do a look up. Evelyn

I need help with the following and will appreciate any information on these families. We have a Jefferson Co. KY Marriage license and bond dated 2 JUN 1822 for Ephraim POTTER to Jane POTTER; father Moses POTTER, consent in writing. Which is Moses' child? I raise the question because: The Jefferson Co. KY 1848 will of Moses POTTER names his children (not an Ephraim) but does include 'daughter' Jane BRYANT. And then Moses' son, Jesse Potter's 1851 will names his sister "Jane Bryant". Clearly Moses' daughter Jane was married to *a* BRYANT by 1848. This Ephraim Potter first appears in Ky records with the 1822 marriage bond, but does not appear on the Jefferson Co. tax rolls until 1825. Ephraim Potter last appears in Jefferson Co. tax rolls 1829, but is still there on 1830 census. He then drops from sight. What happened to him? Where did he go? The 1829 tax record shows he didn't own land, but did own 2 horses valued at $50. If he died, shouldn't there be something in the Jefferson Co. will book on him? The only POTTERs listed are Moses and Jesse. So far we have not found a marriage record for *a* Jane POTTER to *a* BRYANT. Jane's sister, Cinnatta Potter, married Washington Bryant in 1831. Is this "Washington Bryant" the "George W. Bryant" named executor of Moses Potter's 1848 will? Or is that Jane's husband?? In 1850 "Jane Bryant" appears as head of household living near her mother, Frances Potter, and brother, Jesse Potter. Who did Jane marry and what happened to him?? As I said at the beginning, ANY assistance will be greatly appreciated. Linda Sparks Starr starr81@ix.netcom.com http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lksstarr/

Would you happen to know anything about tthe dau HANNAH? Whom did she marry? Thanks. Robert.

Hello Potter listers. Originally the information I had on the family of Baldwin POTTER, as descendant of William POTTER one of the original settlers of New Haven, CT, came from the LDS Ancestral File, and had a couple of small errors. The other day I viewed FHL Film # 0902998, "Records of births, marriages, intentions of marriage, and deaths, 1774-1848" Rowe, Massachusetts Town Clerk. In the Ancestral File Baldwin Potter's second child is listed as Chauncy, but in the original record it seems to be Chaney. For the eighth child Sarah, the Ancestral files gives a death date of 17 Mar 1805, but in the original records it is given as 27 Mar 1803. For the ninth child Ansel the original has the added death date of 27 Feb 1805. Additional information concerning Baldwin POTTER's wife's surname came from Paul Allred, who has an extensive database of Franklin Co, MA family information. Thought I would pass this info on.

I read the report and truly don't understand it. I don't know about Carnivore. What is it? I have not heard any thing about this before reading this. I know I have my thoughts on a number of things....and I am not pleased with all that goes on on the Internet. I am not pleased that some can say this is private and that is closed... regardless of them being your own family. I don't know if this has anything to do with what you are talking about Joe Sissom. But enough of that. I will say though that everything is leading up to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that really soon. Cell phones, computers, all have a lead in what is coming on this earth. So enlighten us! Betty Potter/Parmer

This is not the correct forum and I object to having to pay for the "pleasure" of reading such e-mails.

This was sent to another list and very important. I happen to know this man who is a retired naval officer and patriot. He is still working to preserve our freedoms from Big Brother and your government. Act accordingly and see if you can help as well.- SArah ****************************** Big Brother is at it again. And again, I apologize to any who may consider this off-topic. I manage a number of lists myself, and I would not object to such msgs on them. Further, I have no other method of apprising you of this. Many recipients are involved in genealogy research. Did you see any columnist like Myra V. Gormley or Dick Eastman address the problem of the Carnivore, about which I addressed most of you a few weeks ago? Have you heard a peep out of NGS, FGS, or particularly Gentech, an organization supposedly promoting responsible use of technology in genealogy research? >From my tirade against Carnivore, I made a number of really neat new friends and probably a slew of enemies that didn't respond. I rec'd only one negative, that from a person that somehow connected the Libertarian Party who provided me with the alert with the Nazi party! This alert I am doing on my own. About a year ago the Justice Dept. asked the FCC to make a ruling requiring ALL cell phone companies to be able to track their users from cell to cell, and to provide that info to law enforcement agencies WITHOUT A COURT ORDER. This is not a TAP, per se, but an ability to track the movement of anyone using a cell phone. Now comes the ticklish part: Electronic privacy of this nature is a POLITICAL question as is the problem of the Carnivore. Those of you that over the years have supported the ever increasing role of gov't in our lives have large measure of responsibility in this affair. Only a bloated, over large, over funded gov't could conceive of and fund a thing like Carnivore, and not consider this newest contrivance a major violation of the Constitution. And in case you think I am calling your attention to only causes supported by political conservatives of which I proudly acknowledge being, this fight in the US Court of Appeals in DC is being led by the ACLU, not known for its right wing agenda. What to do? How many of you contacted your congressbody regarding Carnivore? How many of you saw Dick Armie's (my congressman) press conference on the subject? There has been no law passed, no funds allocated by Congress for this. It is purely 'rule-making' by bureaucrats. I would further suggest that those of you involved in genealogy make mention of this on the lists you are on, holler at the folks at RootsWeb, USGenWeb, FGS, NGC, Gentech (info@gentech.org -- these folks are so secretive that they won't post the correct email address of a single director --- and yes, now that you ask, I do have them.), 'columnists'. GET ON THEIR BACKS. There is still smoke coming from Carnivore's nostrils, tho he has been smote a blow. Ask the candidates how they stand on such issues, don't vote just out of blind party loyalty, and watch how they vote. Many of you have complained about the lack of 'privacy', going to riduclous lengths to eliminate names and dates of living persons, etc. from your d/b's..... Now do something about the continuing attack on REAL privacy. Thank you for your time, and again I apologize for not being purely 'on-topic'. Joe Sissom

Sarah, Maybe I'm being overly sensitive here, but I don't think that this is really the place to further Mr. Sissom's crusade - whatever it may be! In reading this over, I really can't figure out what it is he is trying to prevent, or how it relates to genealogy. What does the tracking of cell phone calls have to do with genealogy? Maybe if you/he would explain what Carnivore is and just how it would affect us? Just my two-cents worth.
