Potter b: Abt. 1854 in Mansfield, MA Hi Listers, I am trying to find out about my 3rd great grandfather Bowen Potter who was born about March 1823 in Johnston, Providence Co., RI. Bowen died in Douglas, Worcester Co., MA 01 Mar 1879. On his death record his parents were listed as Charles from Johnson, Providence Co., RI and Charlotte from Providence, Providence Co., RI. Bowen married Jane H. Parris who was from MA. The children all were born in MA. So far this is one of my many brick walls in my family. Any help would be appreciated. Marsha Ocain San Antonio, TX

Gloria: Check Little Compton Families Vol. 2 Under Potter name. This source breaks off at the third Ichabod Potter and where you have question marks begins another line in the Dartmouth, Wesport, MA records where Ichabod III marries Cynthia Sherman ? Macomber of Westport. No Charles in that line. Ichabod b. 1758 Little Compton. d. there 1821. The Book by Benjamin Franklin Wilbour covers mostly those living in Little Compton and doesn't follow those that moved away.

Thanks but I don't have that source. I see these two gedcoms have that: Potter, Ichabod 1758 Westport, Bristol, Massachusetts F: Ichabod Potter M: Hope Thurston S: Cynthia Sherman Potter, Ichabod 1758 Westport, RI F: Ichabod Potter M: Hope Thurston S: Cynthia ( Macumber ) Sherman ----- Original Message ----- From: <theclown16@optonline.net> To: <RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 7:48 AM Subject: Re: [RIGENWEB] RE: Bowen Potter > Gloria: > Check Little Compton Families Vol. 2 Under Potter name.

He was 20 and she 18 at time of marriage. He is listed as a locomotive Fireman. Marriage in Cong. Church Whitinsville, by John R. Thurston Pastor. date Feb. 12, 1874, Northbridge records.
