Potter Family Update and Question
The following Potter males are brothers.What I need to find out if anyone knows who the father and or mother is for these four brothers, and any other siblings.
David Potter who married Elizabeth Wood
Hasten Potter who married Orpha Jane Love
John Potter who married Sarah M Unknown
Mathew H Potter who married Nancy M Love
NOTE Orpha and Nancy Love are cousins
Source information is solid they are all brothers.
Letter to David Potter from James R. Love, Plano, TX, a neighbor of Matthew, announcing the death by suicide of David's brother, Matthew
Note:James R Love was also Mathew H Potters brother in-law.
John named his last son John Hasten Potter.
David named one of his sons Hasten Daniel Potter.
Hasten Potter named one of his sons Hasten Alexander Potter.
Mathew H Potter committed suicide in Texas
The below link states Pearl Potter the Daughter of Thomas Hasten Potter and Cordelia A Nivens married a third cousin Raleigh Potter (NOTE Thomas Hasten Potter is a grandson to Hasten Potter married to Orpha jane Love).
Ralieghs parents where
Walter R Potter and Gency A Unk
Walter's Parents where
Hasten Daniel Potter and Fannie Unk
Hasten Daniels Parents where David Potter and Elizabeth Gold

So the letter of Mathews suicide proves Mathew and David are brothers.
Pearl Potter marrying her third cousin then following his lines back shows that Hasten married to Orpha Jane Love is a brother.
Below is proof John is also a brother.
