Well, I am an Arkansas Potter looking for
the parents of my William Potter born
1807 in Tennessee - I thought I had found
them in Franklin co Virginia marriage records,
but the KY Potters claim that couple.
There is a Potter's Creek in VA on the Pigg
River where a lot of the KY Potters seem
to come from - several Potter / Kirby marriages
in VA.And some of the KY Potters moved on to
MO.
There used to be a Potter Profile done by
the MO Potters, I have parts of a couple of
them.I don't know if they still publish or not,
or how to get copies.But I do know the MO
bunch seem to have their ducks all in a row.
also many of the KY Potters know what they
are doing......seems most of us Arkansas
Potters are just whistlin in the dark.I have two
Potters coming into the same county about the
same time and dont know the relationship...
so guess I am the last person you should
ask about Potter line.
I also know that New England had a bunch
of Potter and Kirbys - and they married each other -
and then moved out to places like PA.There
have been books written about the New England
Potters.....I can send you some Franklin co VA
marriage records that probably will connect
to your line.How to connect it - well, will
also send you some names of MO Potter
researchers.
Good luck - it is never dull working on Potters.
