This message is in response to Joe Bently. I am the Daughter of Altia Bentley one of the children of Masho Bently.I noticed that many of the names were spelled wrong.Mashos wife was Dosha Wright. The children were Charles Elmer Bently,Martha Lititia Bentley,Edna Berta Bentley and Altia Bentley.Masaho was born Aug 11.1898 and died Oct 13,1973.He spent 45 years in the mental hospital where his mother LItitia and brother Orville had him committed.

Hi Cathryn,
It’s very good to hear from you. I have made the corrections you submitted to Masho’s family. Please let me know if I have them right. Thank you very much for your additions and if there is anything else I can add or correct, I will make all changes that you submit to me.You can also email me if you like at admin@yeahpot.com and I would really enjoy hearing from you.
Sincere Thanks,
Annette Potter

Charles Elmer Bentlet had two Children; Sandra and Michael. He was married to Helen but I don’t remember her maiden name.
Edna Berta married Phillip Lane and had two children but I dont remember their names .I’ll try to find them for you.
Martha Lititia married Hank Wright. Their children were Patricia,Rodger,and Daniel.
Altia May Ramsey married Robert(Buster) O. Ramsey . Their Children were Drema Lee, Linda Lou, Cathryn Sue, Robert Stephen, Althea and Timothy Mark.
I was so happy to find your site as we were quite cut off from the Bentley family.
I can provide some more of this line of the Bentley family if anyone would like to have it.
Joe Bentley would be my second cousin.We never had any contact with John Vent or Lititia (our grandparents) or any of their siblings.

Hi Annette, I have been researching the Sherd Mullins Family for Years. My Grandfather Thomas M Lester was Born out of wed lock He went by his Mother’s
Maiden Name Lester ( Alcy Lester ). I know for A fact That he was A Mullins and his
Father was Sherd Mullins. I think it was Sherd Mullins Sr. According to the Old Regular Baptist Minuate’s His Father was Sherd. Some Older People called him Tom
Mullins. Do you have any Information about this Matter. I know Sherd Sr. or Sherd Jr. was his Father, I noticed you have Thomas M Lester Married Westina Burks as his
Son. Thanks Carl Lester

Hi Cathryn,

Hi Carl,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the website. I don’t have any more information about Sherd and his son Thomas that I know of, but you can do a search for different spellings of the name and there may be something more on the website. In the meantime, I will try to find more about the family. If you find anything you want to add or correct, please let me know and I will add your submissions.
Bye for now,

Received the following Email from Debbe at dkpott2@hotmail.com
Elkhorn City is trying to start a DAR needing at least 12 members. With all you all descending from Rev War soldier, Abraham Potter, we could have a great organization. Contact Nina Aragon about DAR.
Nina Aragon is a member of the Elkhorn City Area Heritage Council and she works at Tim Belcher’s law office: 606-754-7150. Email her at njta@hotmail.com Need 12 members to become a DAR chapter, posting it to the website may help.

I read some of the names in your genealogy such as Pleasant, there was a Pleasant Potter in Warren Co,KY. He had 12 children. His father was Frederick Potter. Fred’s father was Thomas Potter. Fred was married to Elizabeth Kirby. I have a sense that these also might be some of your ancesters. I think Pleasant was a banker in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Fred’s brother was William Potter, he married Nancy Kirby a sister to Fred’s wife. Williams son Daniel came to Mo in about 1858. i descended from him. Of course by now you probably have searched this part of the family. sincerely, Betty

Hi Hazel,
Sounds like you’re busier than a one legged man at an a** kicking contest! Glad you’re going to get your bowling team going, aren’t you? I know that is going to be a lot of enjoyment for all of you. Let me know how your games go, ok?
I haven’t floated off the map yet, LOL, but have been busy, too. It’s a real blessing that you have grandkids! They are so precious and I love the new photos you put in the Gallery. If anyone would like to look at them, they’re at Hazel’s Family Gallery Great photos!
Please tell Sis and everyone hello for me and I know you’re having a great time with them, too. I have been seeing a lot of my sister, Carlene and it is so much fun to get to be with her! I really enjoy our visits. It’s so much better to be over here where I can get out and about. Here there is so much more to do and it’s so much easier to get around to the stores and everything. I love it over here.
I will be sure to keep Joda Mae and Vick in my prayers. Hope to hear that she is better very soon. It’s good to know Ernie is doing ok, and of course, it’s really great to hear that Myrtle is better also, but I haven’t heard from Rick either, so I hope everything is still good with his mom.
I haven’t used the messenger in a while and I just haven’t had time to sign in on it lately. It’s been busy around here the past week. I just jump on here to check my email and do a little this and that and then it’s off to take care of business. I’ll send you an email to let you know what is up to catch you up on everything.
Remember the lady that I accidentally removed from the forum the other day? Her name is Stephanie. I wrote her an email with hopes that she would return to sign back up, but I haven’t heard back from her. I sure hope she returns to sign up or leaves us a message again. I sure hate to hurt our visitor’s feelings like that, but you know how bad the spam is in our forums and guestbooks, so it was an honest mistake. Maybe Stepanie will read this and come back and join us here. I hope so.
Anyhow, it’s so good to hear from you.
Luv you,
Annette

Hi Hazel,
Finally changed the name to Shayna. I hope that I finally got it right. I am going to change everyone’s photos on the front page real soon. They are going to look better. The front page needs a lot of work. It’s mostly just plain text that when you make the text bigger or smaller the page doesn’t look right, so I’m going to start replacing all our boxes with graphics so they will stay in postion like they are supposed to. I won’t make any other changes like removing anything from the front page. I’ll just use more graphics so they will keep their uniformity. I want our front page to look prettier and to keep it’s shape and size. It’s always nice to have a page that loads faster, but making the page load faster makes it so that it’s not as pretty and I want it to be pretty. I also want it to be a narrow front page because I think they are prettier. I’ll get you to look at it before I upload it to make sure it is good enough.
Miss talking to you, too, and I know how it is when you’re busy, so don’t worry about that too much, just do what you need to do and we can talk when you have the time. I sure don’t want you worrying about that. You’ve got enough to do.
Luv you, too,

Been awhile here just thought I would say hello to Everyone! Been real busy with the bos in Cub Scouts and their School. I am finally getting more pictures together after the bad year we have went though here in Ohio. Also I found more relatives right on top of me. Couldn’t believe it! One guy shampooed my parents carpets he took my name an number from them and called me the very next day. Meeting with him this weekend to get more information. Hope everything is going good!

Hi Hazel and Ben,
Great to hear from you. I’m glad you are pleased with the front page, Hazel. Now we can both be very happy with the layout because I have the front page loading faster and you have all the info on the 2nd page that has always been there.
Ben, it’s always exciting and fun to find new cousins. I know we are always meeting someone new, also. Keep in touch and let us know how it turns out. I know it’s a lot of fun and very rewarding to be involved with your kids. The Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts teach a lot of good things to their members. My brother, Clark, has also taken on an active roll in his son’s and grandson’s involvement in the Scouts.
Bye for now,

Hi Anna Lee and Fay,
I’m so glad you like the front page. I didn’t think anyone would notice the change. Any time I change something, I really want to know if you like it or if you don’t like it and I won’t take offense when you let me know you don’t like something. It is a big help to me for you to let me know what you like or don’t like. It helps me make the website better for everyone and I really do want to make it a place where you can come and enjoy yourself. So, please let me know about anything you would like me to change or add and I will always be happy to hear about anything you like or don’t like. Hazel always lets me know when I do something she doesn’t like and it is a real big help to me when she lets me know. She knows I never get offended at all about anything she wants me to change, and I will do the same for any of our cousins and friends.
Thank you again,
Annette

Annette,
Your web site is fascinating and impressive. I’m so glad I found it while seeing what was on the Internet about my grandfather, Henry Morgan Holbrook. My mother remembers her aunt Lena Potter Holbrook, the woman who connects our families. I am equally thrilled to see the connections to my father’s Craft family–especially Archelous Craft, the Revolutionary War veteran. I have heard stories about him all of my life, and have been several times to the place where his unmarked grave is located. What a food of memories your site has opened!
Thanks, and keep in touch,

Hello Everyone,
For those of you who are using Yahoo Messenger with me; I am going to have to unistall it and reinstall it because the durn thing has become unstable and I can’t stay online with it. It has started to sign out and back in over and over again while I’m trying to use it , and that is very annoying, so I’ll have to re-add you to my friend list. I apologize, but it is just the way it is. I like yahoo messenger, but it is just too annoying to have to keep signing back in over and over again while trying to instant message with my contacts. So, see you in the re-installed version.

I put a couple of pictures of you, your family and Marty on Marty’s slide show on the front page and on his page. He really enjoyed the reunion in Kentucky. You all are at the Breaks in the photos. I really love those photos.

hey woman,
the site looks great, as usual! I love hearing from all the people who see your site. did you know the LDS church is switching genealogy software. the LDS church has always used PAF (personal ancestory file). in the future they will be using legacy. i know a lot of people use tree maker, and others but, i thought i would let you know that a big switch has occured. i believe you can download legacy free. you just google legacy. i am going to download it while it is free. usually, everything cost. i remember when ancestory. com was free to all who submitted 4 generation sheet. hope you are doing good. enjoying the cold. did i tell you that jinaquin tried out for some tv show. i think “so you think you can dance” or something like that. anyway she made it to the 5 cut. pretty good! i think that she was close to being picked for the show. how is wallyworld? tuesday a group of us are going to the holcost museum. i have been and don’t want to go. it is way to sad for me but some want to and i will go with them. you know i had tried to get dianne’s dad to tell his story for the museum. he never would. then right before he died, he called them and they were coming out to tape it. he died before that happened. you know now that you have a job you might could live in burke towers. would you be interested in that? just wondering. i thought since you work in webster you might like to look down there for a garage apt or something like that….you know me…i have nothing to do, so i think of things for you to do…..love ya, kaie
Annette said,
February 1, 2008 @ 3:09 am
Hi Kaie,
I’m glad you like the site. I love hearing from the visitors, too. It’s nice when they email or post in the forums or guestbook.
I have used Legacy, but I don’t use it anymore because it limits you to what you can do with the free version and it prompts you to buy the full version so you can use their advanced settings. I haven’t tried family tree maker, so I don’t know about that one. Most of the mailing list people use family tree maker, but I have not used it. Do you get to download the complete version of Legacy? If so, that will be very nice. I really like PAF a lot. It is very nice. Legacy used to be very nice, too until they started limiting usage of it. I don’t like the limited usage.
I use the PAF software. After you add all your info into the program, you just click on make a webpage and it makes one for you. It will put everything you have added into the software on the webpage, so it’s a good idea to make sure your info is correct. You just upload the whole thing to a website and there it is. It’s nice, and I have used it for about 150 pages on the website, because I got tired of all the coding and wanted them up there real fast. (Here’s Anthony Hall and Ruth Butler done with the PAF software) Also if you make additions, you have to re-upload the entire website and over-write the original you uploaded previously. Anybody can have a genealogy website if they use that software and know how to upload it to the internet and know how to make a few little tweaks to the setup.
Ancestry has really ticked off a bunch of folks. Folks uploaded all their stuff and now they have to be paying members. That’s sneaky, isn’t it. That’s why I like our site. I just put it out there and no one can decide to limit the access to us.
That is really nice that Jinaquin tries out for things like that. It takes courage to do those auditions and I know that you have to be very competetive.
I don’t know anything about Wallyworld. I don’t even know what it is. What is Wallyworld?
Someday I would like to go to the Holocaust museum myself. I have seen a lot of articles and documentaries about the Holocaust, but I haven’t been to the museum. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even know there was one here in Houston. Where is it? It is very sad and horrible what has been done to them. It’s an awful thing. It’s unreal that there are still people doing bad things to them even today.
I don’t think I would like to live in Burke Towers. Those apartments are way to close and cramped. I do want to move to a different place, though. I am going to find a place this week and also enroll in classes. Love you, Annette

His dog, Freckles, died last night. they buried him next to fluffy and woofer. the little hill i guess will be a pet cemetery. jacinda survived her gall bladder surgery. the dr said it was the worst he had ever seen. he did not know how she stood the pain. we had been trying to get her to have the surgery for 3 yrs. it was time. do you have the box for your tv? the one that unless you have hd, etc you have to have the box so you can watch tv. the government gives you a coupon for 25-40 (i am not sure how much). i think clark said it cost about $60. we have cable or we would have to buy one. there is really nothing on tv, even with cable. tomorrow we will go to church to watch Pres. Hinckley’s funeral. if we had dish tv, we could watch it at home. did clark tell you he had made high priest president? creed is elder’s quorum president, tracey is 2nd counselor in the women Relief Society. i am still compassionate service leader…..been it for so long……..at least i have a calling. you should see my legs. they are wrapped from toe to knee. they are wrapped first with a stocking (like a cast stocking), then cotton, then guaze, then foam and then ace bandages (some really strong kind). they say i will have to do this the rest of my life. hope clark is looking for another wife because, i don’t think i will do this very long. tracey has it in her had, so i made sure she went to the dr asap to get treatment. i waited 10 yrs before i found someone who would treat the swelling. bille has the blisters, i told her to do it while they could correct it and not to wait like i did. of course, i waited because no dr understood. at lease my feet and legs do not hurt anymore. my ankles are the size when i married. today is the only bad day i have had since after the 1st week of treatment. clark has to do all the wrapping, so i figure it will take us awhile to learn the right way. blah balh blah….i am suppose to have a heart stress test on monday. what a waste. they have already said nothing wrong with my heart. he just wants to see a birth defect because no other dr ever picked it up. he thinks maybe phen-phen did it. i had the test for phen when the law suits started. i was okay but they did not see the defect either….hummmmmmm
what classes are you enrolling in?????? something interesting? are you taking spanish again? photography? Art? you can do anything…love ya, kaie

Hi Kaie,
I’m sure it will work out fine. Just one of those things that happens once in a great while. Thank goodness it doesn’t happen often. I’m sure every web editor has problems like that from time to time. You can’t please everyone, and that’s just the way it is. I’ve really had great luck with this website and haven’t had that happen except this one time, so I think that’s a pretty good record for all the years we’ve had this website up. Our visitors to this site have all been very nice people and have been nothing but helpful, and I have just been very fortunate in that respect.

Hi Kaie,
I know how that old timers thing is. Heehee. I’m sorry you have not been well. Please don’t worry about not getting in touch when you are not feeling well. I completely understand. I know you have been ill and I hope you feel better very soon. Thank you so much for the info about Amber’s baby. I will make sure it goes on their web page. I also added the birthdays that you submitted here. Is Creed 25 Feb - Creed dad or Creed son? I just put Creed Potter on the birthday page. I’ll add more when you let me know which one he is. Do you want me to put Cody Huck on there, too? Is that Cody’s full name? More work for you.. don’t you just love it?
Thanks again for adding your info.
Luv ya, too,
Annette

that would be creed, Dad. we call the other Lil Creed! you know i do not know Cody’s full name. i know he is a direct descent of White Cloud. White cloud was his great grand father.
oh, j mart;s son, bobby called today. do you think you could find his birth certificate on line? the lawyer needs it. his is the corrected one when he was adopted. i think they do away with the original when you are adopted. do they? i have several friends that are adopted and sometimes it cost them several thousand dollars to have the files opened. they love their adopted family but they always want to know their blood line. funny how that works…have you ever submitted your dna to the genealogy dna bank? i did about 15 yrs ago. it is interesting…love ya, kaie

good morning! i was just looking at the old photos i have in clark’s album. i noticed that someone had written a note over 2 years ago asking about some of them. i have gone through and put what info i had on them. is there some way we could put them in a barnhill/bookman folder? that way maybe someone will pick up on the name and tell me who they are? i had to dig out a baby picture of me for tuesday night at church. everyone is suppose to bring one and we guess who they are. i was surprised to find that raquel looks like my baby picture except for the potter blue eyes and blonde hair. do you have the pictures on the web site of your dad with clark and the sheriff o neon standing behind the cab? if not maybe i can scan and email to you..it would be a miracle if i could actually do it…..you might have to come here and do it your self…..love ya, kaie tonigt clark and i drove to galveston. the cad would not pass inspection because the battery did not have enough miles on it. we had to drive it 70 miles. we went down to the sea wall and ate at sonic. it is right on the sea wall and it is cheap… we came back and thought of stopping at wallly wood to see you. then decided we probably would just get in your way. love ya, kaie

Hi
I read your info. on the Johnson’s, 5 i. Elisha Johnson “Groundhog Lish” is my gr-gr-grandfather. He was the son of David Johnson and Anna Hall Johnson. David was the son of Eli Johnson and Susannah Martin Johnson. Elisha’s second wife was Marilda Mullins. I found her grave last summer. I know the cemetery where Anna Hall is buried, but there is no marker. Elisha is buried in the Johnson family cemetery. I have put flowers on his grave, since I was a little girl. I found Eli Johnson and Susannah Martin graves two years ago in MO. She died in 1859. You can still read their names on the tombstones. Take care.

Great web site, tons of info. really appreciate how much work has gone into it.
One thing, the pic you have of Robert Bates of Knott Co. (son of John W. Bates, Sr.) is really a pic of my great grandfather Robert Bates of Floyd and Letcher Co. ( son of John W. Bates, Jr.) There is a good pic of the first Robert at geocities.com/pattymay. I also have another pic of him somewhere holding one of his children.
Thanks, Hope

I have finally finished updating our Links Page. It should now have every page in our folders listed. If any of our visitors finds a page I may have missed, please feel free to let me know and I will add it. There were also a lot of broken links on that same page due to the off site links having deleted or shut down their websites, (that’s why I hate to link to other websites) but they have also been removed from the links list. Please let me know if you find any more broken links and I will remove the link from our site to them. In the future, I may stop linking to other websites all together. Our site is just too large to try to maintain offsite links on our family pages. If there is a site that happens to be useful in our genealogy research, I will add a link to the Favorite Links page. That will make it easier to maintain any broken links when a website we are linked to shuts down or moves.

Hi Kaie,
After we talked, I figured out how to do that projector film. I sent you an email to your hotmail email, but just in case, I’m putting it in here, too. As I understand it, you play the film on your projector into a box. While it’s playing into the box, you record it with your camcorder. Playing the movie into the box keeps the film from appearing as grainy when you record it with your camcorder. The only thing is you have to make sure the camcorder is stationery and doesn’t come between the projector and the movie. Hope that makes sense. It sounds like a good idea. Beats paying a company a bunch of money and risking loss.
From the camcorder, it can be put on the computer and from there to dvd and the web.
Hope it works!

What a great site. Found it sort of by accident. You have a lot of my family already recorded. Schuyler Colfax Cantrell was my great grandfather and Edith Marie Cantrell (Knighton) was my grandmother. I have heard lots of stories about these relatives but would like to know more. Also, I could update quite a bit if you would like. I am not a professional at this. Just getting started. I am trying to find the grave site of my other great grandfather, Sylvester Cutler Knighton. I know it is in W. Va.. Any hints on how to research it further?
Thank you,
Dan

Hi Dan,
Thank you for your post. I would love to add all the updates you submitt. I did a search for your great grandfather, Sylvester Cutler Knighton, but didn’t find anything, yet. I will keep him in mind in my and if I find anything, I will be sure to let you know. Do you have an idea where in WV he is buried? What about other spellings of the Knighton name?
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello, Sis. I was visiting the website while at work and a guy I was working with was really impressed with what you have done. I was really really impressed as well, since I remembered where and how it all started. Congratulations on the new stuff! I was really pleased to see the new way some of the pictures were displayed. I have been reading the account of ‘Devil’ John again and my co-worker found that quite interesting as well. It was really good to see Mother’s and Marty’s and Trent’s pictures. I saw quite a few that I don’t think I have ever seen.
You should be really proud of your accomplishments, since 99.9% of it was self-taught.
Love,
Brother Dave

Hi David and Kaie,
Thank you David, for your post to the feedback page and to the guestbook. It’s great to know you like what I’ve done. It means a lot to me. Devil John Wright was quite a character. He is one of many I enjoy researching.
Thanks to you, Judy, Kaie and Billie I have scanned a lot of wonderful photos and hope to scan many more as time allows. Kaie and Judy keep bringing me their wonderful photos to scan and add to the site. They have so many, we may never get them all scanned, but we are going to try. I’m a little bit behind in my scanning right now. I have a lot of photos brought to me by Judy that I haven’t even begun to scan yet. I hope to get started scanning them soon.
To Kaie: I think I may have moved your favorite video to another page on the website. I found one of a dulcimer player that I thought was good and put it on the front page. The one of Jean Ritchie and Seeger is now on the following page: Interesting Videos On that page, there are more videos that I thought were interesting. I hope you enjoy them, as well.
I sure do love hearing from you both,
Your Sis and Sis-in-law,
Annette

Hi Kaie and Everyone,
Just got a call from Hazel Potter Thompson and Bert Thompson who are in Letcher County Kentucky right now (23 May 2008) in the area close to Whitesburg, Letcher Co KY for our upcoming Potter and Related Families Reunion which takes place tomorrow 24 June, 2008 in Hemphill, Letcher Co KY.
Hazel and Bert are with Anne Holbrook Meador and husband, Allen Meador, Ernie Collier s/o Monroe Collier and Kletis Kiser, as well as all the other families and friends who have gone there to attend the reunion tomorrow. They are cruising around enjoying the many sites and sounds of our beautriful Kentucky mountains, visiting the historical sites, enjoying the wonderful country food and drink, wonderful, warm, friendly folks, the fresh mountain air and looking for old cemeteries and other great things for our genealogy research. Anne Holbrook Meador and Hazel, our cousins, says that they have visited several cemeteries and have taken photos of headstones and that Hazel will scan and send some of the photos to me (Annette Potter) to put on the website in the Photo Gallery.
Hazel has visited the Reynolds Family Cemetery in Seco, Letcher Co KY and has taken photos of my (”my” is Annette Potter d/o Creed Flannery Potter and Ida Fuller) dad’s grave and our Grannie’s (Eliza Frances Reynolds Potter Davis d/o William Henry Reynolds and Frances Matilda Baker) grave which are right next to each other. Can’t wait to see the great photos and add them to the site!
Anne Holbrook Meador is there looking for some of her brick wall people that have been hard to trace as well as visiting family and friends and attending the Potter and Related Families Reunion in Hemphill, Letcher Co KY and Hazel says that Anne has received some very good leads from some of the other family in the area.
I lood forward to hearing from Hazel and all again soon and as soon as I hear from them, I will post any new info here. Just like to wish all those who were so fortunate to get to go to the reunion a very happy time and a safe and very pleasant journey there and back home!
Blessings to All,
Annette

thank you hazel for going up seco way. you have to love the people and the mountains. it is a great place to be.
annette, carlene, jake, clark and i went to the veterans cemetery today for the ceremony. it was so good. they had the riderless horse, the jet fly over, the helicopter fly over, amazing grace bagpipes, muskets, 3 texas cannons and soldiers from all the wars, except ww1. there is only one living and i don’t think he is from TEXAS! anyhow, we put flowers and flags on jmart potter’s grave, uncle goree barnhill’s, and ralph and bobby camery’s. what a day. it was exciting and spiritual. it was good to honor all those brave men and women. carlene is going to send you pictures.

Hi Kaie and Hazel,
Great to hear from you. I’m so planning to go to the Potter and Related Families Reunion at Hemphill, Letcher Co KY, this coming year in May, 2009, Kaie and Hazel. I hope we can all be there to meet everyone that has been contributing to this website! Hazel Potter Thompson and all of her precious sisters, Anne Holbrook Meador, Ernie Collier, Kaie and Clark Potter and all my (my is Annette Potter d/o Creed Flannery Potter and Ida Fuller) sisters and brothers, cousins and kin too numerous to mention, who send in photos, obits, and all kinds of wonderful stuff to keep us up to date. It really is a great pleasure to hear from each and every one of our family and friends who take part in preserving our history or who just stop by to say hello.
The candle light vigil is a great tribute to our coal miners who risk their lives and give their lives to get the coal that keeps this nation’s energy going. Coal is the source for 51% of our nation’s energy! Thank you so much, Hazel for thinking of my precious dad, Creed Flannery Potter. I appreciate that so much and it brought tears to my eyes to imagine you doing that for me. It meant a lot to me to know that you did that in my dad’s honor.
Our condolensces go out to the family of Lucy Potter, d/o McKinley and Dora Mullins Potter. It’s so difficult to say goodbye to loved ones. Our hearts go out to the family. Thank you, Hazel, for letting us know about this family’s loss. I’ll be adding Lucy Potter to the obituaries today. You are such a blessing, Hazel!
Kaie and Clark, Carlene and familly; thank you for remembering our brother, Marty Potter and our other Veterans this Memorial Day. Can’t wait to get the pictures and add them to the gallery. Love to you all,
Annette

Hi Anne,
That’s why I use Outlook Express. All I have to do when I want to send a picture is to right click the picture and click send to mail recipient and it goes out. I don’t have to worry about the size of the photo or anything. It’s great. Anyhow, let me know if I can help you in any way. You should be able to upload them straight into the Gallery with your password and username if you don’t want to send them to me. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Hi Hazel, Ann and Everyone,
I (Annette Potter) would like to thank Anne Holbrook Meador and Hazel Potter Thompson for going up to the Reynolds Family Cemetery, Seco, Letcher Co KY to photograph the grave of my Dad, Creed Flannery Potter. I appreciate it so much! It means a lot to me that you took the time to climb around on those steep hills to get those wonderful photos!
I would also like to say thank you to both Hazel and Anne for the other photos they submitted to the website for the photo gallery and for the pages. The photos are all wonderful and I have literally spent the entire day (except for my nap, Hazel..haha) going through the photos and adding them to the Photo Gallery.
It’s cousins like you who really make this website fun, new and interesting. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.
Your Cuzzie,

Morning Ms. Annette,
Just wanted to leave a little note telling you how much me and my family appreciate all that you do on your web site for us.. all the pictures we send for you to put in albums on your web site is only a small sample of all that you do.. we love your web site.. taking pictures has been a hobby of ours for many years and we love sharing the pictures with everyone.. going to the different cemeteries in Letcher Co. Kentucky sure was a fun filled day for Anne, Ernie and myself. I love every minute of our time together running from place to place…. taking the pictures of your Dad and brothers head stones was only a “small deed” that we could do for you compared to the things you do for us.. you have such a great web site and I’m sure it has taken hours and hours and hours of work.. you really don’t know just how much you are appreciated .. we spend hours on your web site..
I’ve had my grandchildren all weekend and we have to take them home today so tomorrow if I see you signed in I will call .. Have a great day.. And from the bottom of my heart a great big ” Thank You “…..
we love you..

You know I just love you to pieces and your lovely family. I couldn’t do it without you and I can’t thank you enough. You are a very special part of this website and it would be nowhere near as nice without all you do. Love you, Love you, Love you and all your precious family, too.
Cuzzie, Annette

This was just too nice to pass up. I found it on the internet while browsing around looking for information for the Hatfield and McCoy Feud. I especially appreciated the term “geneasolitaire” … it describes how I often felt before I had all the great help I continue to receive from friends and family on this website.
The Elusive Ancestor
I went searching for an ancestor. I cannot find him still.
He moved around from place to place and did not leave a will.
He married where a courthouse burned. He mended all his fences.
He avoided any man who came to take the U.S. Census.
He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no fame.
And every 20 years or so, this rascal changed his name.
His parents came from Europe. They should be upon some list
of passengers to U.S.A., but somehow they got missed.
And no one else in this world is searching for this man.
So, I play geneasolitaire to find him if I can.
I’m told he’s buried in a plot, with tombstone he was blessed;
but the weather took engraving, and some vandals took the rest.
He died before the county clerks decided to keep records.
No Family Bible has emerged, in spite of all my efforts.
To top it off this ancestor, who caused me many groans,
Just to give me one more pain, betrothed a girl named JONES.
- by Merrell Kenworthy -
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did,
Annette

Good Morning Annette,
Sorry I haven’t been online much but since I broke my hand I haven’t been doing much of any thing, but all is better now and getting back into the old routine. I wanted to let you know that I have obtained a copy of the book “Tragedy In Tin Can Holler” by Rozetta Mowery and for each and everyone it is a must read book, it is great I finished it in a day and a half once I picked it up I couldn’t lay it down. It is a book that is very well written and with simple understanding of this family that has gone through such tragedy. Each person should learn about this thing called domestic violence and how it seems to be a cycle that must be broken.
I just wanted to let you know I am so sorry I haven’t been in touch lately and to thank you for adding the pictures for me and I have more to send. The site is wonderful as always and I am never disappointed when I get on, you do such a wonderful job and thank you for all the hard work you do for others to enjoy. Have a wonderful day and I will be talking to you soon.
Luv Ya and God Bless
Anne

Hi Everyone,
Just got back online today. My modem went out and had to order a new one which took several days to get in. I’m sorry I had no way to let everyone know that I was off line, but when your modem goes out, there is not much you can do about it but wait till.the replacement comes.
To Kaie:
I’m so very sorry I haven’t received anything until just now getting your notice here in the feedback page about Jinaquin. I’m so very sorry to have missed you. I can’t imagine what could have gone wrong with the prayer requests and I’m so sorry they weren’t received. Please know that even though I don’t know the details about Jinaquin, that I will be sure to request prayer for her on the website. I’m so very sorry that she is having problems. I will certainly pray for her well being. Please call me if you have the opportunity.
Luv you,
Annette
To Anne:
Hi and thank you for your message. I would love to read her book, also! Can’t wait to get it. I hope to purchase it also as time allows.
I also look forward to receiving more of your wonderful photos and as always, thank you for all your submissions. You know without you and others who love genealogy we couldn’t have a website.
Luv to you and your family,
Annette

Hi Hazel, Anne, and Everyone,
I wanted to let you know that I found out yesterday that Jinaquin Thompson, d/o Alethea (Potter) Terrell and 1st husband, Darrell Thompson, (granddaughter of Clark and Kaie (Steely) Potter) is in the hospital for a ruptured appendix. Apparently from my phone call yesterday with her grandmother, Kaie, she has had and continues to have a very difficult time because the hospital she went to in the beginning never diagnosed her properly and she spent several days with the poisons of a ruptured appendix invading her body.
Kaie told me that her granddaughter, Jinaquin, is doing better, but that she is still in very guarded condition and to please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Kaie tells me that Jinaquin has had more than one surgery to remove the poisons from her body and other complications. I pray that she comes out of this without any lasting effects and that she completely recovers to her previous state of very good health so that she can get back to her ballet dancing.
Love to All,
Annette Potter

Hello Annette,
Great to hear you are back up and running, I have been really busy lately so I haven’t been online much at all. I held a small family reunion at my home Saturday, July 5th for my siblings and their families and all turned out wonderful, we had our children, grandchildren and even some great grandchildren attend, with several traveling out of state to get here. There were about 77 that attended in all. We enjoyed games like volleyball, badminton, horseshoes, we had our pool going so anyone that wanted to go swimming could, all the children really enjoyed that one, and all the food, we had the grill going most of the day, fresh barbecue, baked beans with Cole slaw and all the home made pies and cobblers, best food in the county, even our mail man wanted to get out and eat with us haha. I got lots of pictures and home movies, two of my nephews and my son played music for us most of the day and well into the night, all the festivities started about 11:00 am and ran until about 12:30 am, first time in years we all got together without it being a sickness or funeral of a family member.
I hope that I have started a new family tradition, so plans are in the works for the one next year, hopefully it will be even bigger and better than this one.
I had a memorial table set up for our mom and dad with all the old photo albums, everyone really enjoyed looking through those and reminiscing the old times. It was blessing for me to see the expressions on the faces of my siblings and to hear them talking about their times of growing up in the mountains, a time that is gone now but still lives fresh in the memories of my brother and sisters. As I was looking at my siblings that a day, a terrible sadness came over me as one of us was missing from our group, my beloved brother Bruce, but I came to understand that if he was looking down upon us he would of been proud to see that we are still all together with something that was instilled in us as children, children that grew up poor in worldly goods but rich in the most important thing of all…..love.
It was a day for me to stop and count all the blessings that God in Heaven has bestowed upon me of his wonderful love, in letting me be a part of such a wonderful family as mine.
I hope that by having this reunion that maybe we have helped place memories in the hearts of all our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, similar to the ones that our parents gave to us growing up.
I wanted to share with you and Hazel, what a wonderful reunion it turned out to be for me and my family and to thank you for all the hard work you do for others to enjoy.
Love Ya
Anne

Hi Anne,
Thank you for sharing your time with all of us. I really love it when we get to share your great family reunion and get together memories. It’s almost as good as being there to get to hear about the details of your visits with family and friends.
I’m very happy to be back on line, too. I had a modem go out on me, but it is fine now and probably better than ever. They replaced it free of charge and I really appreciated that. Hazel said, “Why didn’t you go to the library and email me”?… Isn’t she a treasure?….haha! I just love her to pieces. She missed me and I sure as shootin’ missed her, too.
It’s so good to hear from you and hope to hear from you again soon and often. I’ve also been occupied with adding some great photos that my Reynolds family sent me to the site. I have never had the pleasure of seeing the photos that were submitted by Johnny Reynolds, and I can tell you that they are just wonderful. You can see them on the William Henry Reynolds II Pages. He has just made my day by sending those in to add to the site!
I’ve also been adding some other things that I found on the internet, such as the 7th Kentucky Union Cavalry Rosters and the Harlan County Union Battalion Roster. I’ve just got to where when I find something on the web, I save it because I have lost so much information by just linking to their pages when they shut them down, I can no longer get the info. I’ve had that happen more times than I care to remember, but from now on, when I find something, I am saving it to my computer!
I love your post! Hope to hear from you again soon,
Annette

Hi Annette,
I have been on the site as usual this morning and love seeing all the new additions, I wanted to tell you I really enjoyed reading the artical on the Storytellers you added and also thank you for adding the roster list for the 13th Ky Cavalry CSA, my great grandfather Ransom T Holbrook served with this unit as did his two brothers Randolph and Jesse Holbrook, my great grandfather was only 16 years old when he joined to fight with the 13th Ky. out of Whitesburg Ky. I have a copy of their mustered in papers and also as I was in Letcher County this year, I had the pleasure of finding his grave site where a group called the Sons of the Confedercy has placed a civil war marker for him. The Sons of the Confedercy is a group that find the civil war soliders gravesites and place the markers for a memorial to the men that fought in a war that was unlike any the United States has ever fought before or after, as this was surley a war where brother fought aganist brother.
While visiting this cemetery I took several pictures of my great grandfathers burial site and thank you for adding those to my pictures for me. It was a very humbling expericence for me to know that my ancestors took such a great part of making our nation the greatest nation on earth.
I just wanted to tell you again how much I enjoy the site and thank you for all the work you put forth for others.
Love Ya
Anne

Hi Anne,
Thank you for your very nice post. I also enjoyed the Story Tellers which was sent in to me by email by Linda Potter Whitt. Thanks to Linda for submitting “The Story Tellers”.
I have added lots of info on the Civil War and hope to add more. It seems if I don’t gather up the information and put it on the website, I often lose it and can’t ever find it again. I linked the Holbrook brothers to their respective 13th Kentucky Cavalry pages so we can see them on the roster of their company. It’s amazing to me how our ancestors risked it all to go fight in that war. I know for a fact that many of the feuds of our ancestors were a direct result of that war.
I was also struck by the way the prisoners of war were treated by their captors in the Civil War. There were many atrocities against both Confederate and Union Soldiers in the Prison Camps. 10’s of thousands died as a result of abuse, torture, starvation and neglect. Another interesting thing about the Civil War was the birth rate. If you notice, children were often not born to families between 1862 and 1865. The birth rate was very low during that period. Some of the soldiers would go home on furlough and that often resulted in children being born during those years.
One other interesting matter of note was that the Confederates were considered Democrats and the Union Soldiers were considered Republicans. My mother said her grandfather, Elijah Bunt Fuller went in as a Democrat and came out a Republican. She told me that her grandfather didn’t like the things that were going on and that he changed sides; much unlike those Confederates who were forced to vow allegiance to the Union when they were captured. I wish now that I had gotten the details from her about that remark, but unfortunately I didn’t. My Great Grandfather was a very interesting man.
My other relatives, the Reynolds, deserted the Confederacy early on and joined the Union forces. I believe that was one of the main reasons for a feud which took place in their days after the Civil War and that lasted many years thereafter. There were also a lot of my ancestors that were Confederates to the very end and never changed sides.
Hope to hear from you again,
Luv ya,
Annette

Hi Annette,
Thanks for all in the information on the Civil War, I am a big history nut and that period of time if one of my favorites to research, even my youngest grandson is a civil war reenactor for the 5th Tennessee Infantry and has a reenactment in Bowling Green, Ky. this weekend. He is the youngest member of his group and takes the roll of message and flag carrier, he has been in interviewed in several local newspapers. Wesley has always had a love for American History ( like his grandma ) haha and as I started researching our family and found that his 3rd great grandfather played such a big part in that war as did all the soldiers that fought, was one of the reasons that inspired him to become a reenactor in which he takes a lot of pleasure in doing, as I take pleasure in attending the events. It is like seeing history come alive right before your eyes, it is truly amazing for a big history buff as myself . I do have several pictures of Wesley in uniform and on the battle field and the newspaper clippings that I will hopefully will get sent to you before to long.
Could you please add my brother Jimmy Holbrook to the prayer list for me, he is suffering from heart problems and heat exhaustion and was put in the hospital Sunday afternoon so I have been spending most of my time with him since he has no family here other than me and my sisters, all of his children live out of state. I was at the hospital until late last night and he is on the mend but it will take him quite awhile to recover.
Again thank you so much for answering my post and all the encouragement you give to us. I so enjoy researching my genealogy and you always help me in my search and give me areas to look that I would never think about without your help.
I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope to call you soon to talk with you on the phone.

I am showing Joseph Kiser b. 1756 as Joseph Kenton Sr. married to Mary Shelly. She was the daughter of Christian Shelley who was the son of Abraham Zschille.
I don’t know if I am correct or not and would appreciate any light that you can shed on the family.

Just wanted to let you know that Melvin’s last name was Staggs not Skaggs. I knew Clarinda Hall as Virginia Wren Hall - this would have been my great grandmother. Also Clarinda/Viginia was never married to Ray Pridemore they just had a child together.

Hi Anne,
Thanks for your great information about the re-enactors of the Civil War battles. That is one way we can preserve one small part of our great American history.
I love our country’s history. I hope our families never forget that we come from ancestors who were very often heroic and very fine people. I don’t want our children and their children to ever forget where they came from. It’s getting harder and harder to keep our history alive. New generations change the history books to appease the minorities and we may not have any history if we don’t carefully preserve it.
Thanks again,
Annette

Hi Hazel and Everyone,
I would like to thank my good friend and cousin, Hazel Potter Thompson, for being so good about working with me on the website. She has just been so good about adding all kinds of information to the families and for helping me figure out who goes with whom on the site. Let me tell you, it is no easy task to figure it all out. We have really worked hard together for a long time on this website and I would like to make sure to give Hazel her due for all the good things she has done to make this a better website.
We have worked together going on 3 years now and I think that Hazel has done a wonderful job at putting together all of her lineage for her family on this site. I hope her family appreciates all her hard work, because she has really done a lot to leave a very good history and to add many wonderful photos for her family’s future generations to know where they come from and see pictures of all of them. That’s a lot of work to scan photos, email them, gather names and dates of family members and then work out each of their respective genealogies.
We worked together again today (Sunday) until I quit on her..haha or LOL as the puter geeks put it. She wanted to work some more, but I just bombed out on her and had to take a long break.
Anyhow, Hazel, if you get time again, please don’t hesitate to let me know and I will try to keep up with you if I can. You’re really special! Oh, and by the way, Hazel and I both get very excited when we hear from our cousins and friends in the guestbook and in any of the forums and we read each and every one of them with much appreciation. We hope you continue to leave messages and notes for us and email us, too. We always love to hear from everyone. It’s a great pleasure to know we have so many people interested and participating on the website. It’s just greatest of fun.
Your Cuz,
Annette

Hi Everyone,
I’m sorry to tell you that the Photo Gallery and the yeapotter.com website has been hacked and is no longer available. I am currently saving all the albums from that site to disk and hope to present them on this website as soon as I can. I will try to get to it right away, but it will take time to set up here on this site. It’s a real shame when we can’t keep our Gallery going because of someone who is so mean they want to destroy a family’s photos and other memories. I just think that the person who did that is of very bad character and really needs some serious psychological help.

Hi Everyone,
The problem with the startlogic servers seems to be resolved. The website there and the photo gallery have been intermittently working. At this time, I have checked the links to the Gallery and the yeapotter.com website and all seems to be well. Let’s hope it stays that way. I am exercising caution for a while in case it isn’t a permanent fix. I did download the entire Gallery to the computer in case we run into this problem again and I’m going to work on having a stand by or back up photo gallery we can use if we run into that problem again in the future. It will take some time to create a new gallery, but I will eventually have it completed in the not too distant future. Thanks to everyone for your patience.

Hi Annette,
I just wanted to pop in to say hi and to tell you I met a man this past weekend from Letcher County, Ky. We were camping with friends on Barren River Lake in Allen County. His name was Doug Anderson, he told me he was from Neon Ky in Letcher County, he knows the area well and from what I gathered from him was he lived up around Hemphill, He knew several Holbrook, Potter, and Flemming families, He told me where Potter Town was and he was also fimilar with the Bottom Fork area, I didn’t get to talk to him as long as I wanted to but he told me he goes back each year to his class reunion, I was wondering if you knew of any families with the last name of Anderson from that area. My husband teases me all the time because it seems everywhere we go I am always running into someone from home, Allen tells me I am like a radar devise, that I can always find someone from Letcher no matter where I am at and he has never seen anything like it.. I was at Wesley’s last reenactment and met a man from Letcher and of course when I meet someone everything else is put on hold and I talk to them forever about home or at least that’s what my families tells me I do, haha. but I sure can ramble on at times as you know, especially when I find someone from the mountains. But if know of any information on the Anderson family from that area please let me know. When I meet someone like this it always gets my curiosity going, Thanks again for finding the oburiary of John Craft, I had to cr
