In my Potter Profiles, issue 6 in 1986 (page 29), I included information shared with me by Paul Haynes, a faithful contributor and reader of Profiles. Paul wrote that he'd found "a half sheet of yellowed paper, called the Potter Family Record, contributed by Mrs. Alberta V. Dennis, 510 Eugene Place, Garden City, KS, 67846; and it was written on the back of an old song book belonging to Minerva Jane (Potter) Vincent."
Here are the Potters listed:
Henderson Potter, b. 11 Jan 1821 in TN; d. 13 Dec 1876
Elizie Jane Potter, b. 24 Aug 1827 in KY; d. 13 Sep 1875
James Richard Potter, b. 24 Sep 1844
Sarah Francis Potter, b. 27 Oct 1847
Nancy Ann Potter, b. 8 Aug 1849
Thomas Jackson Potter, b. 27 Nov 1851
Manurvie Jane Potter, b. 9 Dec 1854
William Henderson Potter, b. 9 Jan 1857

David Sherman Potter, b. 30 Apr 1866
Cintha Ellen Potter, b. 10 Nov 1868
Nancy Ann Potter was married 2 Aug 1866 to T.H.B. Breashers
Hope this stray bit of Potter information helps somebody searching for their Potter ancestors who has a Vincent or Breashers connection.
