In my files I found a Gilbert Potter married to a Rachel Gallup - Gilbert died in 1858 so if this was a second marriage for her perhaps she was Rachel Gallup Smith??? That Gilbert Potter would be from the line of George Potter who came to RI at about the same time as Nathaniel Potter (my ancestor) and Robert Potter. Speaking of Nathaniel, I believe there was also a Gilbert Potter somewhere in that line but cannot find that one just yet. One branch of Nathaniel's family moved back and forth between Richmond, RI and Connecticut at around the time Gilbert Potter and Rachel Smith were married. I'll try to do some digging around later today to see if I can come up with anymore. For the person who was not sure where Windham is, it is a county in CT and Sterling is one of the towns within that county. I will post anything I find, Donna Potter in RI
