A POTTER-RICHARDSON MEMORIAL the Ancestral Lines A POTTER-RICHARDSON MEMORIAL the ancestral lines of William ,v. Potter of Michigan a11d his wife, Margaret (Richardson) Potter Compiled by Doreen Potter Hanna and Louise Potter Justice Willian1 i'. Potter Let us now praise famous men and our fathers that begat us •••• There be of them that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported. And some there be which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been born; and their children after them. But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten. With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant. Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes. Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out. Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth forevermore. -------· Ecclesiasticus xliv. The genealogical material presented here was gathered by Louise Potter and Doreen (Potter) Hanna, daughters of \rilliam W. and Margaret ( Richardson) Potter. i\-tost of it may be found in published records, and genealogies; some is found only in local records of town clerks, and in cemetery records. Family tradition and circumstantial evidence have been considered when actual proof has been unavailable. This study revealed a common ancestry in several family lines. This is not surprising considering that most of these families settled, first, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and spread from there into Connecticut and Rhode Island. In ever widening circles the migrations carried them into New York, New Jersey, and Vermont, and after the Revolutionary War and the opening of the Erie Canal, into Ohio and Michigan, where they were reunited. An effort was niade to trace each ancestral line to its beginnings in America. Whenever this was possible the generations are numbered: the emigrating ancestor as the first generation, his children as the second gen­ eration, and so on to the present. A short biography is given of each individual person under the surname of his birth, and references given as to the source of the information. When the surname changes through marriage the line of descent to the present is given, indicating the individuals involved in each succeeding generation.

This was, probably, a baptismal date since at his death in 1739, he was said to be 50 years old, thus making his birth date, 1689/90. He married in North Kingston, October 28, 1714, Mercy Robinson2, 1690-1762, daughter of Rowland 1 and Mary ( Allen) Robinson. They lived in North Kingston, and South Kingston.

It is probable that his widow remarried. She may have been the Mary Segar, born 1715, daughter of John Segar3 (John2, Richard 1) and Alice ( Hull) Segar of Kingston, and as a widow married Thomas Gould. This Mary Segar is called Mary Gould in 1757 when her father's estate was probated. She lived in Charlestown, Rhode Island, where also records are found of the Joseph Potter thought to have been her son by her first marriage.* Children: 1. joseph, 1740/1-1770, m.

I., under command of Captain Samuel Thompson of Westerly. He served one year, and later, served a month under Colonel Thomas Potter at Newport. He is said to have enlisted in the American navy; been captured and held prisoner by the British until peace was declared. It is known that for a consid­ erable part of his early life he followed the sea. The census of 1790 indicates there were in his household; one male over sixteen (himself), two males under sixteen, three females.*** He married before 1800, Esther Thompson, 1776-1859, daughter of Elias, Jr., and Mary (Stanton) Thompson of Westerly. Until 1806 they lived in South Kingston, and removed then to Lebanon, Connecticut. January 1, 1841, he applied for a Revolution­ ary War pension; was living then in Hartford, Connecticut. The pension was denied, probably because his service had not been in a regularly organized military corps as required under the Act of 1832. He is thought to have died about 185S although his name does not appear in Hartford directories after 1850. His widow died in 1859 in New York State. Children: By first marriage: 1. Christopher Champlin, 1795-18S2, m. Esther Smith (David, David) By second marriage: 2.

  • Old Boston Taverns and Tavern Clubs by Samuel Adams Drake
    OLD BOSTON TAVERNS AND TAVERN CLUBS BY SAMUEL ADAMS DRAKE I. UPON THE TAVERN AS AN INSTITUTION. he famous remark of Louis XIV., “There are no longer any Pyrenees,” may perhaps be open to criticism, but there are certainly no longer any taverns in New England. It is true that the statutes of the Commonwealth continue to designate such houses as the Brunswick and Vendome as taverns, and their proprietors as innkeepers; yet we must insist upon the truth of our assertion, the letter of the law to the contrary notwithstanding. No words need be wasted upon the present degradation which the name of tavern implies to polite ears. In most minds it is now associated with the slums of the city, and with that particular phase of city life only, so all may agree that, as a prominent feature of society and manners, the tavern has had its day. The situation is easily accounted for. The simple truth is, that, in moving on, the world has left the venerable institution standing in the eighteenth century; but it is equally true that, before that time, the history of any civilized people could hardly be written without making great[Pg 10] mention of it. With the disappearance of the old signboards our streets certainly have lost a most picturesque feature, at least one avenue is closed to art, while a few very aged men mourn the loss of something endeared to them by many pleasant recollections.
