    1. [SCMARLBO-L] Potter, Stephen line
    2. Bushy Hartman
    3. Hello all, I was scouting around on Genforum and found the following item on the Potter line. Is anyone on the list working on this line? I tried contacting Shawn the submitter but this is a pretty old post so didn't think I would hear anything back. I am checking out their Millie to see if there is any possibility she could be mine for the Rollo line and married William. Would be happy to hear any thoughts on this matter. Thanks Bushy Top of Form[PARA]Stephen Potter 1771 Granville NC/1781 SC Posted by: Shawn Potter Date: November 15, 1998 at 20:38:43 of 4302 [PARA]Bottom of Form[PARA] Bottom of Form Searching for information about Stephen Potter, born about 1742 (perhaps England), married Jemima (possibly Green) in about 1768. Stephen and Jemima had: John Potter (b. c. 1769), Mary Potter (b. c. 1771), William Potter (b. c. 1773), Elizabeth Potter (b. c. 1775), Ephraim Potter (b. c. 1777), female Potter (b. c. 1779), Thomas Green Potter (b. c. 1781), Nancy Potter (b. c. 1783), Stephen Potter Jr. (b. 16 May 1785), Prudence Potter (b. 1 Jan 1788), Adam Potter (b. 8 Jan 1791), Ira Lucius Potter (b. 10 Apr 1794). I am descended from Thomas Green Potter, who married Elizabeth Holland and lived in Spartanburg and Laurens Counties, SC. His father, Stephen, had a brother named Adam Potter, who married Ann Henderson. They also had a sister, named Millie--married name unknown. This family appears in Granville, NC, records in 1771, and moved to upstate SC (Laurens, Spartanburg, Union Counties) by 1780-1. They appear to have known Stephen Wilson in Granville, NC, as well as several Kirby families. They may be brothers of Thomas Potter and Benjamin Potter, who intermarried with the Kirby families and moved to Kentucky. If anyone has any information on Stephen Potter's family (including his wife), please let me know.
