In my notes, I indicated that I obtained this information from a book by Jerry Alsup, ALSOP'S TABLES, VOLUME TWO, p. 379. Mr. Alsup indicates the marriage was recorded in the Douglas Register as were the births of the three children. Mr. Alsup also provides the name and address of another researcher who has done additional research on Thomas Potter: Dorian Jenkins, Everett, Washington 98203. The book was published in 1994 so the address may still be valid.
