    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Potter, Ogle, Wilson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jlABAEB/286.1 Message Board Post: Hi Debbie, My 2x grandparents are Cornelius and Francis (Ogle)Potter. Check the 1850 Census records for Putnam county Indiana. The whole family is listed under Neely Potter, wife Fanny. Fanny was born Aug 16, 1810 in Tennesee and died (April 17, 1887) in Stafford County, Kansas, at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Teresa (Potter) and Christopher Columbus Wilson. They are in the 1880 census in Salt Creek, Lincoln County, Kansas. In 1880, my great grandmother, Nancy Adeline Potter (oldest child of Neely and Fanny born June 16, 1830) and her husband William Alonzo Wilson and family are found in Gore, Sumner County, Kansas. The name has been entered incorrectly under the spelling "Willson". The family next door are listed as Roxy J. and Lorenzo Scott. Roxy J. is also a daughter of William and Nancy. My Grandmother is Rosa Belle Wilson. By the way, the Cornelius Potter listed at the LDS site (film # 1761050) is the correct one. James Monroe was the youngest of the children born later in life. Frances was nearly 44 and Cornelius was 46. There were 11 children!! My information comes from Francis Potter's bible though another cousin. If you wish, contact me and we can compare notes!
