Message Board Post:
According to the admission records of the Dayton Soldier's Home, my gggrandfather,
Nathan Potter had a son (Howard Potter) and daughter (Mollie Lewis) living in Delaware
Co., IN. in 1887. I found Mary B. (b. Iowa) and her siblings (Margaret, Clarence, Howard
and Levi) and mother (Nathan's 1st wife) living in Union, Delaware County, IN in 1870.
I also found Howard and his family living in Delaware Co. in the 1900 to 1930 censuses.
There is a record in Grant County of the marriage in 1883 of John H. Lewis and Mary
Potter, but my follow-up of this information has hit a brick wall. I do know that the John
and Mary Lewis in Parke County are not my ancestors. The website lists a grave for a Mary
Potter (b. 1861, 29yrs)in Delaware Co. Maybe she divorced Mr. Lewis. If anyone is
researching a Lewis-Potter family that lived in Delaware Co., I need help.
I am also looking for information about Margaret Potter, Clarence Potter, Levi Potter,
Bessie Potter and William Potter. I hope Delaware Co. Potter relatives will contact me.
Best wishes. - Pam
