My great grandfather, Benjamin F. Potter was born in Nevada in 1867 so
says the
1900 Census of San Franicsco, California. All I know about his parents
is that
his father was born in England and his mother in Massachussetts, again
the S.F.
1900 Census. I have no names for my gr gr grandparents. Now, I
understand that
in 1867 birth/death records were not kept in Nevada. I searched the
1870
Nevada census, nothing. Searched thie 1880 Census and found a couple
whose
birth places matched Benjamin's parents but no mention of any children.
Calculation of the woman's age would have put her at around 16years old
if she
had indeed been Ben's mother. Not improbable. So, anyone have any
ideas where
I can look to try and track down them down?
Thank you very much,
