Hello List, I am researching a Potter family who lived in Greene, Chenango Co., NY between 1800 and 1850s. This family originally comes from New Haven County, Connecticut. Here is the information that I have: Thomas Potter b. abt. 1777 in (possibly Naugatuck) New Haven County, Connecticut m. Lucy (surname unknown) abt. 1795 in Connecticut d. August 5, 1857 Greene, Chenango, NY Thomas and Lucy had the following children: 1) Alanson Potter b. 1796 CT 2) Lemuel Potter b. 1798 CT 3) Rachel Potter b. 1800 CT 4) Sibbel Potter b. 1802 NY 5) Lucy Potter b. 1804 NY 6) Almira Potter b. 1806 NY 7) Thomas Potter b. 1808 NY 8) Miles Potter b. 1810 NY 9) Emily Potter b. 1812 NY 10) Munson Potter b. 1815 NY 11) Louisa Potter b. 1818 NY 12) Charles Potter b. 1828 NY The 1850 US Federal census for Chenango Co. NY shows Thomas as being 72 years old and Lucy being 70 years old. Their youngest child Charles is found living with them in Greene. Munson Potter (son) is also living nearby. I would appreciate any information that anyone has to share in regard to this family. I am trying to find Thomas Potter's parents and the maiden name for his wife Lucy. Some information that I have found indicates that Thomas is the son of Lemuel Potter (b. 8 July 1747) and Rachel Perkins (b. 26 Sep 1742) of New Haven County, CT. However, to my knowledge, this family relationship is not proven. It is something that I found on the Internet and would like to confirm with documented proof. I am glad to share the Potter information I have with anyone interested. Thank you. Nick Mizaur nmizaur@tgmp5.hbs.edu
