  • Notes 
    • My name is David Holt, and my mother's Grandfather was William Henderson Potter, born 1857 in (best information is Ozark, Greene county, Missouri).
      The info we have on W.H. Potters parents was Ellison Henderson Potter (my mother remembers the Henderson, but not the Ellison) and Eliza (Elizabeth?) Jane Hall. Very similar to Elizabeth Jane Tuckness and Ellison Potter.
      The other similarities are the names of the children are the same for the union of Ellison Potter and Eliza Jane Hall, through the ones listed for Tuckness. My mother remembers the names listed for both Tuckness and Hall, but there were actually more children.
      Do you know the reliability of the Tuckness marriage and children? My
      mother is named Zedith Winona (Helmer) Holt and her mother was Maggie Potter, daughter of William Henderson Potter and Ella Mae Boyles, both of Missouri. The family names for both Tuckness and Hall is disturbing and we would like to research more info on Ellison Potter. We were in Missouri a month ago and found census information relating to all of the children born before 1860 and 1870 (the two census data we looked at). Also, the best we can deduce from the info (land records, census, and internet info, Ellison Potter and wife were probably buried on a farm or homestead owned by a Breshears in Polk County Missouri. My mother remembers a Potter marrying a Breshears and coming to some of their reunions in Nash, Oklahoma. Do you have any information relating to any of this?
      I would appreciate talking to you or getting email from you relating to
      your information and data.
