Hi Everyone,
I have just finished the 1850 Letcher County Kentucky Census and have connected most of the families to their respective pages. I hope you will enjoy it and that it will be useful in your research. If you have corrections or additions, please feel free to let me know and I will make any necessary changes. It was quite a job! Thanks to all who have helped in any way with this research.
Blessings to All,
Annette Potter

Hi Kaie,
The site is getting very large, isn’t it? Well, the more we add the better I like it. I would love to add each and every family from our neck of the woods if possible. Folks from all over the country have contributed information, photos and files to the website. As always, I couldn’t do it without all the contributors. I am very appreciative of all who send in their photos, information, corrections and additions. Couldn’t do it without them.
I am especially happy with the 1850 Letcher County Kentucky census that I just finished. It is nice to be able to see each family on a page of their own. Now when folks drop by, they can see their ancestors in that census and hopefully will add to their family pages as time goes by. There were a few that I couldn’t figure out, but not that many. I think the Crager families were one I couldn’t do much with. There’s not that much info about them, yet, but maybe someone will stop by and add to it. I hope so.
Some time in the future I hope to do the Pike County 1850 census, too. Now that one is very large, but they are a big part of our research and I really would love to do it like I did the Letcher one. I enjoy working the census records.
Finding someone who would be interested in editing the site has a two fold purpose for me. Not only would I like to find someone to help edit the site, but as you know, I am not a spring chicken any more and sometimes I wonder what would happen to our info if for some reason I would not be able to continue and that is a legitimate concern for me. I would just like to put some feelers out there to find someone that could take over just to be on the safe side.
I’d also like to tell you that I am very blessed to be able to spend hurricane time with you and Clark. Thank you both for having me. You’re a life saver.
Luv you,
Annette

Hi Annette,
On the Noah Hall page, there is a picture of Conard Hall and Ralph Stanley.
It says the picture was taken at Noah Hall’s funeral. That’s a mistake.
I think the picture was taken at Ralph Stanley’s.
Also, Ralph sang for Conard at Conard’s funeral. He drove over here from his home in Virginia to attend Conard’s funeral. He was crying because he and Conard were really good friends.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I seen your comment on Polly Ellen Holbrook, Polly Ellen was my aunt she is RT’s sister, (RT is my dad) I have long looked for information on her, I know that my mom and Polly Ellen were very close when they were young she talked about Polly Ellen and Loni Mae alot and a few months before my mom passed away she talked with Polly Ellen on the phone which just highlighted her day. My brothers Bruce and Jimmie used to visit her whenever they were back up in eastern. I would love to get in touch with any of her children or grandchildren, sad to say I never knew this side of my family. I don’t remember them much as I was such a small child when I left eastern but met them at dad’s funeral. I also seen Polly Ellen at the funeral of Judy Holbrook, Jimmie’s 2nd wife, Are you one of Aunt Polly Ellen’s children? my email address is goul51@yahoo.com
Great to see the comment and thank you for the information
God Bless………………Anne Holbrook Meador

Hi Hazel,
Annette and I missed you alot while you were gone but we knew you had to be glad to get out of all the bad weather you are having up in Michigan, our weather has been cold here to with about an inch of snow the other day but warming up now in the upper 40′s heat wave lol, for sure I am one that is looking so forward to spring can’t wait until our trip to Eastern in May. Many thanks for thinking of me when you made the motel reservations if not for you I may have not gotten a room, I thought with January things would kinda slow down for me here but with Cainan playing for 2 basketball teams and now Wesley’s reenactments starting back up it keeps me as busy as always, but I don’t mind to much I think the grandkids is what is keeping me going half the time lol plus it is alot of fun for an old grandma. I am asking for you all to be praying for Allen, he has got to go tomarrow for some tests on his heart, I am praying they turn out well with no problems, I will let you know of the results.
You all have a great day and it is so good to see your little smiley face all lite up again. Love you bunches
God Bless

Hi Hazel and Anne,
You two are getting all that bad weather and I’m sitting here with the ac on. Hazel, I haven’t seen the news about North Carolina’s snow on the beaches, but I’ll look it up on the internet. It’s really nice weather here in Pasa-get-down-dena, Texas. We have some of the best weather (barring hurricanes..LOL) in fall and winter. In the summer it’s HOT. I’m enjoying these warm, sunny days to the fullest.
I just hung up from talking to Hazel and as always, it’s a pleasure to talk to you.
Right this minute, I am trying to get a new WordPress plugin that I installed for this message forum to work. If it works as it should, any users that want to get emails when someone posts here will be able to receive the posts by email. I think it will be a handy thing for us. Right now, I have Hazel and myself getting emails, but if anyone else would like to get on the list, please feel free to tell me and I’ll add you to the list so you can get the posts, too.
Anne, wish your husband, Allen all the best when he goes for his tests and I will put him on the prayer list. Of course, I pray that God will bless him and keep him safe, secure and healthy.
It is really good to have Hazel back and as always, it is good to hear from you, Anne!
Love you’uns,
Annette

I am the great granddaughter of Bud Roberts and Thursey Branham Roberts through their daughter Alma. I noticed that you listed Thursey’s mother as Juliet Fitzpatrick. I am wondering where you got this information. We have been told that her name was Causby “Jane” Rowe but have been unable to find Jane’s parents. Some of her grandchildren said that she was not raised around here but came to Pike County and married her husband never telling anyone where she came from. Some of the family said that they heard her father’s name was Reuben T. Rowe. If you could help us find out the truth as to her parentage or true name we would be grateful.

Hi Shawna,
Thank you for your corrections. I will add them to the right page. I agree with you that the information on that page just doesn’t seem to add up or look right because of the dates. When I did a search for Thursy / Thursa / Thursey Branham, I realized that who-ever submitted that information must have mixed up Thursa Branham who married Elijah Hammond with your Thursey Branham. Unfortunately, this is not my direct line, so I have not worked on it to see how the pieces of that puzzle fit together, but hearing from you has been very helpful.
On occasion, I find it useful to let our visitors know what the site is all about and I think this may be a good opportunity to give our visitors a little insight into my website main purpose. My site was originally started as a means for me to put down my family information as on sheets of paper. I did this because I could not make heads or tails out of the information I had and it was much easier for me to look at the information on the web on “web sheets of paper” instead of having tons of real paperwork to go through. It was also easier to link the families back and forth on the “web sheets of paper” instead of trying to do it in a family tree program or on actual paper. That is how my site was started. It was a convenient way for me to look at all the info I had as if I were looking at actual sheets of paper, only easier because of the web ability to link back and forth through all the different families.
That was the main reason for my website, and then I came to realize that I could not do my own genealogy without doing everyone elses because we are all tied in to each other in some way. When I started getting others who were interested in their lineages, too, I was very pleased and added everything I got and still do add what I get from other family members, visitors and friends. I really enjoy getting all the updates, additions and corrections to the site. I do want to say that I am not a professional genealogist; I am just a woman out here trying to put together the giant puzzle of my family ancestors, and now lots of other families and the sight has grown into this very large place where we can all figure out our genealogy. I have heard from 100′s of folks all over the country and even from other countries who visit our site and who submit information, corrections, additions and photos to add. I hope and do think that others have found the site useful, as well because of all the interest and the submissions and corrections that I have received over the years. I must tell you, however, that I do get some very unusual (but always welcome) emails from time to time. LOL
Shawna and every one of our visitors are always welcome here and I love getting corrections, additions, photos, family stories or just anything you would like to add to the site. I hope I can get your particular family page mentioned in your post straightened out with your help.
Thank you a bunch,
Annette Potter

I am saddened to say that we’ve lost our precious brother, Archie Vincent Potter, son of Creed Flannery Potter and 1st wife, Sarah Rose Robinson. He was a precious and beloved brother. He was a loving, devoted husband to his wife, Vera Mullins Potter, who preceded him in death, and a loving father to his children, Michael, Mitchell, Claudette and Candy who survive him. I’m sorry to say I don’t have any information about the viewing and funeral arrangements at this time, but will post them when I receive them. Archie passed away last night at his home in Elkhorn City, Kentucky, surrounded by his loving, devoted family. Archie had been ill for some time and was tenderly and lovingly cared for by his children. All of us are so grateful for the wonderful care he was given by his precious children. We will miss him beyond words.

Hi Nellene,
It is so great to hear from you. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to hear from my Reynolds, Potter and Wright family. I loved my grandmother, Eliza Frances Reynolds so much. She was a wonderful person; so full of love and sweetness. She was one of the kindest persons I’ve ever known. She was so precious to everyone who knew her. Her sisters looked just like her, too. They looked so sweet and precious. She was a tiny little thing, but she lived life to the fullest and was never afraid or reluctant to show how much she loved her family and friends.
I would so much love to hear more about your precious family. Please write more about them and send me photos by email if you can. I would love it so much to see pictures of them. They are so precious to me. I would also love to add all that you want to send me to their pages, so please do send me more because it is really special for me to hear from you and I can’t wait to hear more.
Thank you so much for your post,

I have a copy of our family tree and I recognize a lot of names on this site. My grandfather was Isaac (shooter Ike) Potter and on down to my Daddy (John Leslie Potter). I am not good at research on this thing but I am assisting my grandson do a family tree for our family and his father’s family and this is an interesting site to bring him to. Thanks for taking the time to put info here for us to find.

Hi Della,
You are very welcome and thank you for your kind words. I’d love to add your family to the site if you will let me know what you want to add. Is your dad, John Leslie Potter b 1952? It’s always so nice to hear from you and if you have anything to add or if you have any photos you can scan, please feel free to email anything you have to me and I will be very happy to add what you send me to the site.
I wish you well on assisting your grandson with his family tree. I’m glad I could be some help.

Dear Annette,
I am so happy that I stumbled on this site. You are truely a blessing. My father John Wesley Mullins Jr. passed away March 21,2009, and was born 12/26/1926,burried at Buckeye Cemetery, Jackson,Ohio. Married Vesta Baker 10/14/ daughter to Ray and Virgie Burke Baker.
I was just surfing the web looking for information on his ancestors and remembered he told me his grandfather was Sampson Mullins, and I found you. It makes me feel closer to him in some way. I just wish I had found it when he was still alive. I can’t express to you how much it means to me. I noticed that all his siblings were not listed and WilliamTruman Mullins was burried at Buckeye Cemetery Jackson,Ohio. His sister Barbra Dean was married to Paul Beatty. His other siblings were Aileen Mullins married Arnold Mullins, Geneva Profitt married Howard Lovell Profitt, Charles Mullins, Married Sue Miller, Martin Mullins married Mossie,,Lillian Childers(twin), to Ferl Mullins,Vernie Fields Jordon, Lake Butler Florida and all were born at Lionilli Pike Co KY.

Hi Sharon,
It is so good to hear from you and I appreciate your very sweet comments. It’s always so good to know that this work is appreciated. I will be sure to put your additions on the site and as always, I thank you for submitting them. I know how you feel about wishing you had done things while your loved one was alive. I go through the same thing very often. I wish I had asked more questions and found out more about my loved ones who are now passed on and I won’t have the opportunity to ask them, now. I suppose that is a lesson we can pass on to those of us who are here today. Ask those questions and find out as much as you can about your history before all your elders are gone so you won’t have regrets that you didn’t ask and share while they were alive. I also wish many of my loved ones could have experienced this with me. Especially my Mother.
Thank you so much. Hope to hear from you again soon and often,
Annette Potter

Hi All,
I’ve just finished updating the 1850 Russell Co VA Census and it now has a Head of Household List of Names in alphabetical order. I hope you enjoy it and it helps in your research. Some parts of the previous version were missing. I think I have now added the missing parts and also have broken the original down into 16 pages instead of one long page. It’s much easier to navigate and the name list is very helpful. As always, any corrections or additions are always appreciated.

Hi all you McRoberts dwellers, past and present,
I just made a crude little map of where we used to live in Sheas Fork, McRoberts, Letcher County, Kentucky for Mike Sanders, who is going to take some photos up there in the future. You can find the map at This Sheas Fork McRoberts, Kentucky Crude Map Link.
I tried to remember the folks that lived there when we did and could only come up with a few of us. If anyone would like to add to it, I will be happy to change the map to reflect where you lived and add you to it. It’s just a start and can be easily changed. I’ve forgotten where we all llived, but it’s better to start somewhere than to not start at all.
Look forward to hearing from anyone who lived there in the 50′s and early 60′s or anytime at all. I know it has drastically changed, but that’s what it was like years ago.
Thanks a bunch,
Annette Potter

Hey, I’m the youngest daughter of Anna Pauline Potter and James Glenn England. My grandparents were Stella and Melvin Potter. My mother was their only child. I just saw the Potter’s Flats site and saw there were no children listed for my mother. There is my older sister also. Her name is Phyllis Ann England Steinman. We both have children and grandchildren. I understand there is a reunion the first Subday in August, hope to see everyone there if God is willing.

I have an addition to the family tree. Mary Cole, daughter of Lorenzo Dow Cole and Ailey Baker, and James Whitten Day, son of James Daniel Day and Easter Pruitt, had a daughter born 1864 named Susie. Not long after Susie’s birth Mary Cole married John White, and James Whitten Day married Louisa Ratliff. In 1880 Susie married Sam DeLong and their son John Wallace DeLong was born in Whitewood, Virginia, in 1886. A daughter was born a couple years later, and when she died, Sam DeLong, possibly a traveling salesman, abandoned the family, and he might have been murdered a short time after that. Susie had two children with Bill Brown, James DeLong born 1892 or 1894 and Mary Lou Emma DeLong born 1897. Mary Lou DeLong married Joseph Yates in 1918 and they moved to Camas Washington where my mother was born.

Hi Vicki,
I finally found the original of Victoria and it is very small, but I edited it to a larger size, but I’m not sure if it is big enough for what you want and re-sizing it might have taken some of the detail out. It looks all right to me, but hopefully Connie will contact you and give you a better one. I have 1000′s and 1000′s of photos on my computer and looked all over it for a larger one, but I don’t think I have one. I’ll keep looking and see if I can come up with something better. In the meantime, I emailed the edited version of the photo to you. Hope it’s ok.

I’m if I am posting this in the correct place. I just happended to stumble across the site while looking for info on an upcoming reunion in KY. Ira aka Scooter Potter was my maternal grandmother’s 1st cousin. He was the son of Bess Cable Potter of KY who later moved to Southern Ohio. I do not remember his father’s name. Scooter used to attend CABLE-POTTER-MCROBOERTS reunions up until he was no longer able to make the trip. He was also kin to the Stewarts of KY.

Hi to everyone!
I’ve just now had a few moments access to a computer and have edited a little bit on a few of the pages. I still need to add a new addition to the family. Allauna, my brother’s granddaughter has a new daughter and we need to add her to the New Birth pages. I will be doing that in the next few weeks. Don’t want Allauna to think we have forgotten about her. She’s very precious to all of us! Will also add some photos and info about the family as soon as I can get to it.
Thanks to all who have continued to visit us and to all those who have been emailing and leaving messages, I will be sure to answer each one and will also add everything sent to me when I have more free access to the computer.
Also have lots of new info from Hazel Potter Thompson who called and has some wonderful additional information to the Potter family. Can’t wait to get my computer up and running. I believe it will be sometime in mid January 2010 when that occurs.
Love to all,
Annette Potter

Hi: I stumbled on your website completely by accident while trying to find directions to the Crowe-Phillips Cemetery. My father was Earl Howard Scarborough, son of Thomas Jefferson Scarborough and Texas Phillips Scarborough. My grandmother, Texas, or Texie as we called her, was the daughter of Doctor Bunyan Phillips and Lettie Rosetta Bond Phillips. I have just started to work on our family tree on Ancestry.com and find it fascinating. I am trying to determine if we are related and, if so, how. My great-great grandfather would have been Willis Dock Bond. Thanks, Pam Gamble

Hello,
I am new to your website and want to say I admire your efforts. What a lot of ancestry/genealogy work! Thank you.
I find that you have listed Wilburn Pigman married to Margaret Potter. These are my great grandparents. My family information says that Wilburn married Margaret Patton dau. of David Patton and Rebecca Prater. See the 1850 Breathitt co census and the 1860 floyd co. census. Also if you review their son Mallie Pigman’s death cert you will find that his mother is listed as Margaret Patton. Mallie is my grandfather and his name is mispelled as Malil on his death cert. Ky death index 1911-2000
I have seen on other sites the listing of Wilburn’s wife as Margaret “Potter” if you have information that this is the case I would appreciate knowing about that. Thanks so much. Linda

Hi! I am the granddaughter of Enoch Malan Hall & Maggie Jane Webb Hall – as you listed on this site. However there are several incorrect facts about their information. My grandfather’s name was Enoch Mahlon Hall and my grandmother was Maggie June (not Jane). Her name was misprinted on the tombstone, but was never corrected by the monument company. They had 12 children in all, and as of this date, only 2 are living. (My father Carl Dean Hall and his sister Loretta Dale Hall Powell). I have some other information on them if you would like. I would love to find more information on their history.

My grandmother was tishie bentley. It was great seeing a picture of my great grandparents on your web site. I’m the daughter of Irene,who passed away August 18 of 2006. Dr. DV Bentley was the doctor who brought two of my brothers and me in to this world. I heard all kinds of stories about my birth and my oldest brothers. It’s the first time to see a picture of the doctor. Thank you so much. Vicky Potts

Hi
Trying to connect with Annette and/or Hazel Potter, I have information on Potter’s.
Also trying to connect with Josh Vance (if he is the grandson of Homer and Virgie Potter of Columbus, Ohio). Homer’s Dad was Martin Potter whose Dad was Isaac and Elizabeth Potter. My Grandmother was Lettie Potter Burke (my Dad’s Mother and Martin’s sister).
Would love to start connecting with the “Potters”.

I am the Great- Great granddaughter of Jessie and Laura Gipson. By a turn of event my paternal grandfather born to Earl Likes, grandson of Laura Gipson from her 1st marriage was given to William A Gipson and his wife Mary to raise as an infant. So my question to you is how do the Gipson’s fit into the Potters and who submitted the information that you have. I am unsure of which line to research since my maiden name is Gipson but by genetics I am a Likes. Something to ponder.

Hi, I was searching for information about my Great Grandfather H. H. Thompson of Pike Co., Ky. and found him listed as being the minister who married Nann Johnson and James Garland Rowe in Pike Co. Feb. 18, 1912. My Great Uncle Sam Thompson (Henry H. Thompson’s Son) was also present. This wedding took place at the home of Ben Thornsbury. Sam married Virgie Thornsbury in 1907 and my 87 year old Mother remembers all of them. H.H Thompson was a Circuit Rider for The Church Of Christ in Eastern Ky. I have found very little information about him but was really excited when I found your research. Thank you so much! Sheila

Hello,
Can you tell me where you got your information about where Lorenzo Dow Cole came from? Why you think John or Charles are his father? But, specifically, the story about he and his second wife, Ailey Baker Cole coming to VA from NC with Sarah Sally Baker and Loggins Woody. There was a story that Lorenzo was friends with an Indian chief and Sarah Baker was the chief’s wife, and Ailey was their Indian daughter. Lorenzo was going to sneak them to Virginia and the chief to meet up with them later but he never did and Lorenzo ended up marrying the chief’s daughter, Ailey “Running Fawn” Baker and Loggins Woody married Sarah. Have you heard this, think there is any truth to it?
On ancestry.com a LOT of people have linked Sarah Sally Baker as the wife of Chief Black Hawk and Loggins Woody (but I don’t see where they got their information about Black Hawk.) And, the pictures of Ailey and Sarah Baker’s tombstones each have a note that they were taken at the “Indian Cemetery, Buchanan County, Virginia” but I have been unable to locate this cemetery, even on findagrave.com.
(I have information from Woodrow Wilson Cole and down if you would like me to send it to you to add to your page? He was the son of George Washington Cole, son of Felix, son of Lorenzo Dow Cole. My children come from this line…)
Thanks for any information.

The information on John Dixon Caudill and Susan Caroline Dotson is incorrect.
John Dixon Caudill (Sr.) was born on October 5, 1854 and died on April 29, 1938. Susan Caroline Dotson was born on March 22, 1865 and died on November 1, 1894. Their son, John Dixon Caudill Jr. (my grandfather) was born on April 13, 1888 and died on April 30, 1953. This information was verified through cemetery records and death certificates. If you need any additional information on the Caudill side of the tree, please contact me and I will try to be of assistance. Thanks.

You have done a great job with the site. However, I must point out to you an error on one of the people in the site. Etta Mae Short, daughter of Monroe Bartley Short and Lucinda Jane “Cinda” Mullins, was my great-grandmother and I would like to help you in assuring that all information is correct for all who choose to view it.
Etta Mae Short was born April 22, 1904 in Wise County, Virginia. She died May 27, 1956 in Wise County, Virginia and was liad to rest in the Eli Mullins Family Cemetery on the Bold Camp section of Pound, Wise County, Virginia. She married John Webster Cantrell on July 11, 1918 in Wise County, Virginia, the son of David Lee “Cub” Cantrell and Mary Geneva Mullins. John was born May 24, 1897 in Dickenson County, Virginia. He died March 8, 1982 in Wise County, Virginia and was laid to rest in the Eli Mullins Family Cemetery as well.
Their son, Frank Cantrell, (Apr 18 1922 – May 2 2002) was my grandfather.
I hope this helps as I, much the same as you as it seems in the information you have gathered and the care you have taken in assembling it, take great pride in making sure I always have the correct information.
Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Was actually looking for George and Mary Maugridge Boone. Found what I was looking for. I must say this is a beautiful site. Well done.
My husbands Potter connection is Grandville and Rhoda/Rodica Potter Sanders. Grandville the son of Thomas J. and Elizabeth McBrayer Sanders. Rhoda the daughter of Benjamin and Susannah Potter.
My website is in great need of update and soon I hope to do so. I have/had some Potter photos posted on the Potter page. Some show up and some don’t. I do have the photos saved though. They were kindly given to me by other researchers.
Have a Blessed day!

She is buried in Clay County beside my grandfather and her husband & my great grandfather Levi Davidson, at Martin Cemetery just outside of Onieda. They were married January 10, 1883. She was his second wife. Their marriage certificate is located in Clay County, KY, file box 20. She is on the census roll for 1880, Bull Skin, Clay County, KY Roll T9_410, Page 548.3000. Also census roll 1870 Precinct 4, Clay County, KY Roll M593_456, Page 199.

Betty Jean Vanover married Jack May Their children are Theresa, Ella Jean and Jack Jr. Aunt Dorothy was married to Bill Meade of Pikeville. They lived on Ratliff’s Creek. Their children are: Jimmy Meade, Linda Carol Meade, Rocky Meade, Buffy Meade(deceased) and Angel Meade. I enjoy the pics of our family. My 10 year old grand-daughter is interested in family history.

You’ve got the wrong Arthur Creech listed. The Arthur Creech you’ve got listed as the husband of Mattie Blair isn’t the one who married Leah Hall. THAT Arthur was the son of Alexander Creech, and he was married to Edith Loveth Farmer, then Leah Hall. There were two Arthur Creeches in the area at the time and they get confused all the time. The one that married Edith and Leah was my great-grandfather. He died in Anderson, IN in 1978. Leah died in 1984.

There is some confusion as to his real father, as it is thought by this branch of the family Pritchard is not his father, thus his using Hopson as his last name. He is buried in Moreland Cemetary, Roan Mountain, Carter Co,TN. Also, there were two Rebecca Hopsons in the 1845-1849 birth years. This is the first link that this Rebecca is his mother. May I ask what proof you have? Thank you for any info you can share.

I am also a descendant of Richard Chase. I have a booklet entitled “Genealogy of the Chase Family” which was first printed in 1886 and revised in 1936 and 1963. This booklet lists the father of Richard Chase as Samuel Chase of Brownstone St, St. Giles Parish, London. He was married to Catherine Davis the daughter of Lord Jeremiah Townley. They had four children – Richard who married Margaret Frances Townley on Oct. 31, 1714; (Rev.) Thomas who was born 11-11-1703, maried Matilda Walker and died in 1740; Samuel and Bridget. Thomas and Matilda were the parents of Samuel Chase, the signer of the Declaration of Independence and a Supreme Court Judge. My descendants also include Walter Perry Chase, Jeremiah Townley Chase, Roland Perry Chase and his daughter, Rachel Chase who married William T. Boyd. I have complete information for eleven generations and some information for generations twelve and thirteen. If this would be of interest to anyone, please let me know. My question is – do you have documentation to shown that Walter Perry Chase was born to Richard and Margaret Townley. I have read comment that disputed this fact and I would like to have actual proof.

My grandmother was Sallie Potter who married H.Lee Kelley in 1890 I believe. My father was born in 1915 and had the same name as I. My grandmothers mother was Margaret Skiles. Do you have the Potter Family book that traces the Potter family From Frederick Potter and Elizabeth Kirby, daughter of Jesse Kirby a revolutionary soldier almost to the present. I think it was published in 1909 or 1919?

I believe that you have the wrong children listed for Abednego Kiser and Eliza Couch. If Eliza was born in 1836, she would not have been having children in 1906 at age 70! Perhaps you entered the wrong generation of Kiser children for Abednego and Eliza. The 1860 Russell Co VA census shows them with sons Thomas B, Richard L, and Henry F.

Many other folks have sent in their information and I have added it on this site as a courtesy to those who wish to do so.

The children under this marriage are not correct. The first (I think) is correct. The second was named Annabelle Robinette Rogers and born in 1904. The third was William James Robinette. He was my father and he was born in 1907, not 1908.

I am so excited to see how the family is coming together on here. I am especially excited at how my father’s siblings family have joined in as I have wondered about them. Your site is so organized and you have found more of my missing family members too. I really think you need to post this picture on your site of Hortense and Joseph Reynolds children…especially for Augie (Reynolds) Potter family, she is standing next to my father Joseph Coleman Reynolds Jr. b. 1892, he is the oldest boy and “Oggie ” is the oldest girl
here is the link to the picture I am talking about:

On the page for Hiram Davis and Margaret Addington, you have listed three children for this couple–Mary, Logan, and Margaret Emily. They had another son named Wiliam M. Dingus (Billy).
Logan H. Dingus 1853 – 1925 married Margaret Sanders
William M. Dingus 1856 – 1913 married Cynthia Smith
Mary E. M. Dingus 1858 – 1922 married John Benjamin Floyd McConnell Jr.
Margaret Emily Dingus 1863 – 1943 married George W. Ferguson and Alfred Smith (Cynthia’s brother)
William Dingus committed suicide in December 1913 in Lawrence County, KY. I have newspaper clippings on him and other members of his family.

On the Kennis and Caldonia johnson you have a listing for a Lonnie Johnson Marrying a Jacqueline Bentley.Well I dont think this is right.I am the son of Lonnie and Jacqueline and we were never related to Kennis Johnson.My Mom is the daughter of Bill and Bertha Bentley but my Father Lonnie is the son of William and Maude May Johnson from Right Fork of Longfork.And my Father Lonnie wasn’t born until 1937 and my Mom was born in 1936.So I dont think your information is correct.

On the John and Martha (Potter) Wright page you have their daughter Nancy as being married to Eugene Brown. Nancy was my grandmother. She was married to Eugene’s brother Isadore. Eugene was married to Nancy’s sister Dixie. Also, Melvin was married to Lexie Osborne, Hiram to Bertha Osborne and Wesley to Rachel Garrett.

Hi again,
The information for John Hall & Elizabeth Johnson hasn’t been corrected yet. I would appreciate it if it can be corrected. Nancy Hall married Britten Meade 4-18 1904. She was born 1881. Her name should be where my mother’s name is. Delphia Meade.
Thanks very Mucn

Hi,
My memories go way back to Anita Carter Davis singing with her then
husband, Don Davis on a regular TV morning show out of Mobile, AL.
It was before she left Don and went back to TN to join her family there
with her talents. Don announced it on the show one morning and I cried.
I missed her so much on that show.
She was a beautiful woman.
I lived in Pensacola- picking up the show out ot Mobile.
Great memories.

Hello everyone,
I appreciate all your corrections and additions, but I just don’t have the time to change all of them here lately. I hope it helps others to see your corrections in here! When someone sends me information, I put it on as they send it to me, so I’m not really sure if it is correct or not. I just put it on there as a courtesy to others so they can share with their family members. Thanks to all who take the time to post. It’s always great to hear from you.

I just found this website and was surprised to see info on my grandfather Sink Meade. I have been trying to find census reports or other official documents showing his parents. I can find him in the 1910 census–listed with his wife Allie Fair, but nothing before that. I have info on when and where his parents were married and even have found census records of his brother Ezekiel and sister Roxie but not him. Does anyone have records linking him to his parents, Monroe and Vina Meade?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

To those of you who are new to research. Again I have to let you know that spellings are going to be found in all different ways due to the fact that more spellings mean search engines can find easier. I’ve put this up so many times. Also …. if you want corrections, put the link to where u want it. Information on this site comes from all over the nation. My family research is for the Creed and Ida Potter family. I put other people on here out of courtesy, so I often have no idea who u are writing about and without a link, u can be sure corrections will not be made. Name spellings are the way they have been found in the records. Dates are also left as they are found in the records. My advice when correcting spellings and dates that are very close is to just change your own records and don’t worry about what’s on this site.

A few corrections need to be entered…i.e. the death place and burial of Matilda Malvina Greer Cornett, wife of William Martin Cornett. She died in TX and is buried in Waco, TX. I have never found any records of William having been married before, either. I will post more at a later date.
Thanks for all the work. Now to document what you have shared.

Hello,
My name is Teresa Mullins Blair, I am the daughter of Crecie Shepherd Mullins whose mother was Melinda Stidham Shepherd. I believe you have her listed as Linda or Lydia Stidham. She is the daughter of Nancy Shepherd and James “Jim” Stidham and the sister to Jesse and Maggie Stidham. Melinda died when my mother was ten years old. I am the 10th child born to my mother and was born when my mother was 40. I don’t have any information really on Melinda, Maggie or Jesse. I was just hoping that one of their descendents would contact me.
Thank you so much,

Hi Annette,
My name is Virgil Messer and I came across your Potter Family website trying to find out about my Grandfather Elza Wright. I am from Carter Co., Ky. Elza moved there in the early 1900′s and married Mary Belle Patton. One of their children (Arlena Wright) was my mother. Elza is burried in Everman Cemetery in Carter County with his wife. His dad was Tolliver Wright, 4th child of James Wright and Susannah England. (Elza named one of his boys, my uncle, Tolliver.) Thank you for the information your website provided.

Hi, I am the GGG Grandson of Rebecca Deal, Daughter of Richard Deal, who was the son of Willoughby Deal/Deel/Diel. My cousin came across a picture of Willoughby and a possible son standing next to him. Would anyone in this group know about this picture, and or have a copy of it? I am also looking for pictures of the other Deal family members. I really like your site set up! My cousin Suzan and I have quite a bit on Richard’s family, including the Gibsons, and Conleys that intermixed with the family. Looking forward to a reply, Thanks!

Hi Annette, I just ran across your website! That picture of you at age 22 is absolutely adorable! I was just trying to find some information on my long lost great grandfather whos name was William Tolson. I know that he married Phoebe Jane Maggard (my great grandmother) in letcher county in 1876 and they had 2 boys, one of which is my grandfather, David Marion Tolson who was born in 1881. Apparently they divorced around that same year as i have info that he married a Laura Thomas in september of 1884. After that date i have nothing other than the fact that there is a Bill and Anna Tolson buried on top of Gent mountain in the Jent cemetary in Carcassonnee. Anyway, i know there are lots of us with roots in either Letcher, Floyd, Perry, etc, as a matter of fact i have a brother who still lives in Breathitt. My dad, Daniel Webster Tolson, was a coal miner in Magoffin county as was his dad back in the late 30s and 40s, so it is always good to find folks all over the country who want to know more about their people and where they came from. Thanks for sharing your family with us……….have a great evening……….Paul
