CHAPTER 1: *ANTHONY POTTER Page 3 AUTHOR’S PREFACE “The American History of a Potter Family” has been a labor of love commenced in 1976 with the passing of my beloved parents, *KENNETH DODGE POTTER9 (1906 – 1976) and *VONCEILE CAROLYN METCALF POTTER9 (1909 – 1976). I have spent many hours of my simple life researching our family’s history and writing down our story, I suppose because a sentimental young and old man loves to dwell upon the past and this is my foible. I have found so much enjoyment in discovering our rich heritage, learning about our many ancestors who have contributed in no small way to the greatness of the United States of America, and preserving with some detail their memory in this history. I have organized my book into ten chapters representing the first ten generations of our family in America beginning with my 7X Great Grandfather *ANTHONY POTTER1 (ca. 1628 – 1690), the First American, to myself, *WILBURN METCALF POTTER10 (1946 - ? ) of the tenth generation. The subscript after an individual’s name denotes the generation. For example, *WILBURN METCALF th POTTER10 (1946 - ? ) is one member of the 10 American generation, the subject of Chapter 10. The asterisk before an individual’s name indicates a direct bloodline (DNA) ancestor of mine, the author. I have added a number of appendices which include the family trees of some important family branches and other noteworthy information about our family. Many genealogical records reference “Old Style” and “New Style” dates. “Old Style” refers to the Julian calendar which began the New Year on “Lady Day,” March 25 and was used in England and America until 1752. The period from January 1 to March 24 belonged to the “Old Year.” Beginning in the 1670s, record keepers used both the old and the new year for dates within this period; for example, February 15, 1691/92 would be February 15, 1692 when converted to “New Style.” You will find many old records prior to 1752 that reference the two years with the first year being the Julian calendar (“Old Style”) and the second year being the Gregorian calendar (“New Style”) which commences January 1st. For consistency in my book, where two dates were found, I have dropped the “Old Style” date and used just the “New Style” with January 1 commencing the New Year. In addition, since March was the first rather than the third month of the year, the “Old Style” convention of citing dates as follows: 25d, 6m, 1692 or 25.6.1692 translates to August 25, 1692 as August was the sixth month in “Old Style.” Basically add two to the month number to get the correct month. It is my burning desire and hope that this history will live on long after my passing, if not forever; for, “life is a little bit of time in which we learn to love forever.” This is an indication of the extent of my love of my family. I hope the reader of this will come to appreciate our family’s heritage, preserve my work as best they can, and reach the same conclusion as I have that this is a small piece of American history that deserves saving. CHAPTER 1: *ANTHONY POTTER Page 4 Always remember: “Know where you come from so you may better know where to go. Know who you came from so you may better understand who you are.” The Author: *WILBURN METCALF POTTER10 (1946 - ? ) Date: April 15, 2017 Place: Holly Springs, North Carolina. The Author, *WILBURN METCALF POTTER10 (1946 _ ? ) and his wife, ELIZABETH ANNA DUNCAN POTTER10 (1944 - ? ). (1992 photograph) CHAPTER 1: *ANTHONY POTTER Page 5 INTRODUCTION PREAMBLE: In defense of the slaves while arguing the slave ship “Amistad” case before the United States Supreme Court in 1841, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1767 – 1848), Sixth President of the United States of America, eloquently said: “Who we are is who we were.” This is the story of who we were and who we are. This is the American history of ten generations of a proud New England POTTER family starting with England born *ANTHONY POTTER1 (ca. 1628 – 1690), the first forebear of our family to step on the North American continent. The eleventh and twelfth generations have been born and I leave the next chapter to one of them, hoping that one of them will have the same interest and pride in our family to write the next chapter. Who among us doesn’t at some time long to reenter the past, to touch and hear again what is lost? DEDICATION: I began compiling the history of our family in 1976, the year both of my parents died. My mother, *VONCEILE METCALF POTTER9 (1909 – 1976) died on March 4, 1976 after a long, hard fought battle with cancer and my father, *KENNETH DODGE POTTER9 (1906 – 1976) died soon thereafter of cardiac arrest in his sleep on December 9, 1976. They were wonderful parents to my special brother, *KENNETH DODGE POTTER, JR10 (1944 - ? ) and me, *WILBURN METCALF POTTER10 (1946 - ? ). This history is dedicated to their memory! PEDIGREE: POTTER FAMILY PEDIGREE English & Scottish: After ten generations of intermarrying on this continent, the POTTER family remains predominately an Anglo- Saxon family with a very strong English pedigree with some Scottish heritage. For ten generations, even the maiden names of our forefathers’ wives were British: STONE1 , THOMPSON1 , MARTIN1, WOOD2 , HADLEY3 , WILLIAMS4, WARE4 , HORR5, HANCOCK5 , WIGHT6 , GRANT7 , CAMPBELL7 , FRASER7 , DODGE8 , BRACKIN7 , DOWLING7 , CHILDS8 and METCALF9 to name a few. CHAPTER 1: *ANTHONY POTTER Page 6 Before becoming English, the METCALF9 family claims descent from the Danish Viking warrior, ARKEFRITH who came to England from Denmark with King CANUTE in 1016. The STROUD family that married into the METCALF family claims a French heritage and further claims descent from the Emperor CHARLEMAGNE. The HORE (HORR) family that married into the POTTER family is descended from the Norman-Welsh knight, Sir WILLIAM Le HORE (living 1169 and 1190) known as the “White Knight.” The 11th Generation now has Italian pedigree via the NEMICCOLO9 family of Avellino, Italy near Naples, and the PETRILLO9 family. th The 12 Generation now has an Irish pedigree via the SMITH11 family of Sligo, Ireland. We are descended from three famous Highland Scottish Clans: 1. Clan Grant (principal branch of Clan MacGregor): Great Grandmother *FLORA E. GRANT (FLO) POTTER7 (1848 – 1928), daughter of Captain *LEONARD SAMUEL GRANT6 (1812 – 1880), is a direct descendant of *PETER GRANT0 (ca. 1631 – ca. 1712), “The Scottish Exile” of the Clan Grant of the Strathspey, Moray region of the Scotland Highlands. Castle Grant is located 1.5 miles north of Grantown-on- Spey in Strathspey, Moray, Scotland. Castle Grant is haunted by the ghost of Lady BARBARA GRANT. >>>[See: “APPENDIX 7A: *GRANT PEDIGREE”]<<< 2. Clan Campbell: Grandmother *ELEANOR (ELLA) THERESA DODGE POTTER8 (1876 – 1951), daughter of Great Grandmother *MARY FRANCES CAMPBELL RYAN DODGE7 (ca. 1845 – 1926), and granddaughter of 2X Great Grandfather *DANIEL W. CAMPBELL6 (1818 – 1900) of Clan Campbell. The chief of Clan Campbell has for centuries been the Duke of Argyll whose home is Inveraray Castle (18th Century) which is located one mile north of the village of Inveraray, Argyll, Scotland. CHAPTER 1: *ANTHONY POTTER Page 7 3. Clan Fraser: Grandmother *ELEANOR (ELLA) THERESA DODGE POTTER8 (1876 – 1951), daughter of Great Grandmother *MARY FRANCES CAMPBELL RYAN DODGE7 (ca. 1845 – 1926), and granddaughter of 2X Great Grandmother *MARGARET FRASER CAMPBELL6 (1818 – 1904) of the Clan Fraser. There are two castles associated with Clan Fraser: (1) Beaufort Castle (19th Century) located near Beauly, west of Inverness, which is the traditional seat of the chiefs of the Clan Fraser, and (2) Moniak Castle (16th Century) located seven miles west of Inverness just south of Beauly.

    Churchman E D I T O R I a L

    Churchman E DITORIAL Sheep without a Shepherd? One of the side-effects of the decision to consecrate women as bishops in the Church of England has been the official recognition of the need to appoint an Evangelical bishop with a brief to minister to those who cannot accept female episcopal oversight. That some concessions would have to be made to the conservatives in the Church has been clear all along, and in that sense, the news that such an appointment will be made is not particularly surprising. The battles of the past few years over women bishops have been quite vicious at times, and honest observers have had to admit that the blame for this rests on the shoulders of the victors, who cannot (or will not) understand their opponents’ point of view. Worse still, the victors have done their best to silence objectors altogether, even if the people concerned are in principle on their side. It is impossible to forget the attempt that was made to impeach Philip Giddings, the chairman of the House of Laity in General Synod, merely because he voted against the immediate introduction of women bishops. Dr Giddings supports the consecration of women but he thought that the provisions being offered to those who disagree with that were not generous enough, and when he was attacked for his principled stand it was clear to most people that things had gone too far. Even the archbishop of Canterbury was moved to comment that how we treat one another when differences divide us actually matters—the notion of ‘good disagreement,’ which he is now so keen to promote, can almost certainly be traced back to this unhappy episode.

    Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments

    Issue 10, Summer 2018 Kent Archives is set for a busy summer. In this edition of our newsletter we introduce you to our joint project with Findmypast to digitise our parish register collection. The image in our header is from the first Cranbrook parish composite register [ref. P100/1/A/1], and is just one of the thousands of registers that will be digitised. We are also in the middle of transferring the remaining historic records of the Diocese of Canterbury from Canterbury Cathedral Archives to the Kent History and Library Centre to join its probate records, which have been held by Kent Archives since 1946. At the same time, archive cataloguing of one of Maidstone’s major papermaking collections is nearly complete; further World War I commemorative activities are underway; and work continues on the Catalogue Transfer Project and Manorial Documents Register Project for Kent. Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments [DCb/PRC/50/5] Mark Ballard, Archive Service Officer Among many other records of great value within the records of Canterbury Diocese are the ‘medieval fragments’ [DCb/PRC/49 and DCb/PRC/50], which in the post-Reformation period came to be used as covers, or ‘end-parchments’, for the probate registers. If we can judge by the dates of the act books and wills and inventories registers they covered, this recycling became a habit during the episcopate of Archbishop Matthew Parker (1559-1575). It is perhaps ironic that at precisely the time that Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, probably both closet Roman Catholics, were still being employed to write motets for the Chapel Royal, such disrespectful treatment was being accorded at Canterbury to their medieval predecessors.

DOI: 5 The Clergy at the Courts of George I and George II STEPHEN TAYLOR In the years between the Reformation and the revolution of 1688 the court lay at the very heart of English religious life. Court bishops played an important role as royal councillors in matters concerning both church and commonwealth. 1 Royal chaplaincies were sought after, both as important steps on the road of prefer- ment and as positions from which to influence religious policy.2 Printed court sermons were a prominent literary genre, providing not least an important forum for debate about the nature and character of the English Reformation.
