POTTER FAMILY CEMETERY
This cemetery is located way up on Coe Hill Road (past the intersection of Coe Hill Road and Prosser Hollow Road. When Tar and I drove up, we visited with the very friendly owner of the property that surrounds the little burying ground which is right by the side of the road. He stated that the Town of Davenport does basic maintenance work on the cemetery each year. --Joyce Riedinger, April 1, 2017 - click photos below to view larger size

APRIL 1, 2017 NOTE of Joyce Riedinger:
Date of Thomas Miller's gravestone is difficult to read. I am wondering if date of death is 1876 and not 1816 as Mary Briggs interpreted it.
Missing from Mary Brigg's compilation:
Sally, wife of Amos Potter d. Oct 12, 1842 Age 39 yrs
Sarah, wife of Ephrain B. Potter died July 28 1850 AE 68 yrs 5 mos.
Lewis Smith, 1842-1926
