M A J 0 R lEW I 5 POT T E R

The eldest son of Revol utionar y War soldier Thomas Potter was Lewis • Potter, who was born about 1766. It is believed that hi' birthplace was Henry Count y, Virginia for his father enlisted into th e military f rom there in 1777. , On 15 August 178 7, Lewis Potter marr ied Nancy Hickerson in Fran kl in Count y, Virginia. She was a daugh ter of Thomas and Mar y Hickerson. Soon after thei r marriage, lewis and Nancy moved to what became Lincoln Count y , Kent uck y and resided there from 1788 to 1797. Other members of the Potter family (including his father) also migrated to lincoln Count y. The fi rst record of Lew is Potter in Warren County, Kentucky was in 1799 wh e n the Count y Court granted him 400 acres of land an Lamb ' s Sinking Creek (near t he Barren Count y line) . In a period of on ly 18 years (1799-1817 ) Mr. Potter acqui red 1625 acres of land on Sinking Creek and Little El k Spring in northeastern Warren Coun t y. He Has a slaveholder, and by 18 26 he awned 5 slaves . Lewis Potter assumed an acti ve part in the aff airs of his da y. In 180 1 he was made Captain of the 26th Regim ent of the Kentuck y Militia and by 1804 he achieved the rank of Major of the 61st Regiment. A year or so later, he served his district as Justice of the Peace. Warren Cou nt y Co urt records list the man y times he served as a guardian for orphans, estate appraisar and administrator, as well as overseer for road work . Fi ve sons and five daughters were born to Lewis and Nancy Potter: 1) Dan i el, md 1809 Nanc y Gr eathousej 2 ) Thomas, md 1810 Bersheba • Grinsteadj 3 ) Feli x , .d ?; 4) William, .d 18 21 Polly Lowery; 5) Harmon md 1822 Ma r tha Lowery; 6 Polly md 18 26 Joh n Howard; 7) Frances md Richard Grinstead; 8) Elizabeth "Betsy" md 1815 Willis Arnold; 9) Ann md 1820 Gar ret Lower y; and 10 ) Rhoda md 18 24 John Bentl y. No doub t lewis Potter was a positive influence on his famil y. This writer descends f rom his daughter Elizab eth 'Bets y' Potter Arnold , and many descen dants from just her fa.ily have carried the first and middle names of Lewis Potter even i nto the 20th Century. Mrs. Potter ' s death oc c urred in the 1820 ' s and on 25 May 18 27 Major Lewis Potter marr ied Mary Glaisbrook in Barren County. Lewis ' s death must have occ urred in 1845 for his will, which was written in 184 2, wa. probated in August 1845. In his Will he appointed 'my friends Joseph R. Un derwood and Henr y Grider, Esq .... to hear all di ff erences that may ar ise relative to my will The final resting places of ~ewis and Nanc y are unknown te thiS writer.

INFORMATION 1920 CENSUS

On the 20th of March, this year, the 1920 United States Federal Census will become accessible. Copies of it will be available for use at the National Ar­ chives in Washington and in all of the branches throughout the United States. Copies of the entire census should be on line in all State Libraries shortly. A copy of the Kentucky 1920 Census is on order at the Kentucky Library, Kentucky Building, Western Kentucky University, in Bowling Green, KY and will be available for research by local members of the SKGS.

There is a complete index for each state and territory. The records are con­ tained on 2706 rolls, and the index fills 8585 rolls. Each roll costs $23 if you wish to purchase. Should you wish to purchase one of particular interest to you, and then donate it to your library, it is tax deductible. Many libraries endeavor to add the rolls pertaining to their state and welcome either rolls or a donation towards this goal.

The data contained on the 1920 schedules includes: names, address, relation­ ship to the family h ead, sex, race, age, martial status, if foreign born, year of immigration to the United States, whether naturalized and the year of natural­ ization, school attendance, literacy, birthplace of person and parents, mother tongue of foreign born, ability to speak English, occupation, industry and class of work, home owned or rented, and if owned, whether free or mort­ gaged.

This information will be invaluable, and will fill in that hard to fill part of history, especially when one does not have relatives that can help them with this time frame.

EVANS FAMILY

Ab ner Evans was born 1~ Se p 1760 in Pennsylvania and died 01 Oct 1816 in Warren County, Kentucky. He married Rachel (Murphy ?) about 1793. She was born 18 Nov 1766 and died 19 Sep 1846 in Warren County . They are both buried in the Evans-Wren Cemetery on the McCoy farm in Warren County. According to family lore, the Evans family came from Wales and settled • with William Penn. Some members of the Evans family say that Abner served in the Revoldtionar y War and was a blacksmith at one of the frontier forts along the . The story is that Rachel's father was al.o a blacksmith and could have been at the same frontier fort as Abner. Abner was 17 years of age and Rachel was a young gi rl at the beginni ng of the Revolutionary War. Abner was an ear ly settler in Warren County, Kentucky. The first record of him in the county is on the 1799 Warren County Ta. List where he has 2 horses. Between 1806 and 1808 Abner received three land grants south of the Green River consist i ng of 528 acres. He had the first home in the area .ade of brick, making the brick and building the home himself. Abner is often mentioned in the Warren County property and court records. After Abner's death his son Samuel Evans was appointed administrator of his estate. In 1827 Joseph and Rachel (Evans) Wren and others filed a suit in Ch ancer y. Rachel was allotted for life a widow ' s dower of 1/3 of Abner ' s lands. The resid ue was to be divided into 9 shares equal i n value and divided by lottery. In 1835 members of the Evans family indicate t hat Levi Evans would have title of t he dower of Rachel Evans by her death. (Book 17, page 172 Warren Co KY).

This boo k is a re.ord of the various generations of the des.endants of ARCHIBALD M.KAUGHAN JR. (b. 1735, Ireland) and wife JANE (MERCER).

After the Revolutionary War, the family migrated to Sullivan Co TN, to Pulaski Co KY, then to Ja.kson Co TN. Also in.luded in this ni.e volume are brief histories, family pi.tures, a genealogi.al report from the head to the Cl an Ma.Ea.hain to the Lords of Lyon Court, a very ni.e frameable family .oat of arms (in .olor) and a most interesting IB73 letter from a great grandson of Ar.hibald M.Haughan Sr. Certainly, all members of the Ar.hibald M.Kaughan Jr. line will enjoy this book.

I N HER I TAN C E LAW S

Prior to 187b, a will in Virginia did not have to na.e the wife or eldest son. Their inheritan.e of real estate was set by law, the widow re.eiving her one-third dower and the eldest son re.eiving the remaining two-thirds, unless otherwise spe.ified in the father ' s will. The eldest son also re.eived his mother ' s share when she died . It the eldest son had died, the heir-at-Iaw be.ame the se.ond son. If a man was unmarried, his heir-at-Iaw was his eldest brother, never his father or uncle. In New England, the eldest son did re.eive a double portion (.alled his birthright) of the estate, but definitely not as ou.h as in , Virginia. Ea.h state now has laws whi.h may differ fro. the earl y days of our .ountry, but the early laws relied to a great degree on English .omoon law. (Henry Co. Gen. SOL, Issue 7, Od 1991.)

THE OAKLAND COUNTRY by Jennie cole early day. The Shobes, Aliens, Tuckers, Fords and others were members of this church. In 1873 the organization built the firsrt church in Oakland and moved their membership there. On the same hill as the church stood the Pleasant Hill school which was an important school before the public schools were established. The building consisted of several • rooms, but a Masonic Lodge occupied part of the second floor. Boys and girls from a distance boarded in the homes of the community and attended this school. They usually had four teachers, including a music teacher.
