I recorded his gravestone more than 30 years ago, and at that time at the McClellen Cemetery it had written on it that he was the husband of Kesiah (last name unknown), and the father of John Potter, Sarah Hester, Louise Bullard, and Mariah Vaughan. His dates were given on the stone as born 22 Nov 1754 and died 26 March 1847. That stone has since been either stolen or is broken and thrown somewhere I can't find it at the cemetery. Caleb Potter is listed in the MS Territorial Censuses of 1805 and 1810 as living in Jefferson County, MS. By 1840 and 1845 censuses he was in edge of Hinds County, MS. The 1860 census of Yazoo County, MS also lists a Caleb Potter, but I don't know who he is. Two other RevWar soldiers who lived close by Potter were ! Phillip Six and George Selser(Selzter), who were both from Washington County, PA, and fought in RevWar there in the state militia. That is documented. I am looking for documentation on Potter. For family members on Potter, the Vaughan family has relatives in and around Utica who had that line (one of his daughters) traced well. He has Potters I believe to be relatives buried at Greenwood Cemetery and Cedar Lawn Cemetery in Jackson, MS (Hinds County). Any contact with family members would be appreciated.
