Message Board Post:
I am looking for records of the birth fo my great grandfather Jarret Kell Potter. Our
family records list his birth on December 5 1839 at Rising Sun, Indiana.
His father is Martin Potter, who moved to Iowa, and whom there is quite a bit of
biographical information on. However, the biographies have him marrying a Sally Ballard
in Hancock County, Illinois in 1841
Jarret's mother is listed in family recods as Susanna Kell, and the marraige date
between her and Martin is listed as August 26, 1838 in Dearborn, Indiana.
I found a census record dated 1856 in Mills county Iowa that had Jarret living with Martin
and a third wife Mary. Sally Ballard died in 1852.
Martin's biography (consisting of an ancient typewritten sheet of papar) mentioned
that Jarret lived with relatives in Indiana at a young age.
I would like to find some information on Susanna Kell who is my 2nd great grandmother, who
after giving birht to my great grand father apparantly fanished into thin air.
