(When I, Annette Potter, was a small girl, we had the viewing of our father, Creed Flannery Potter, at our home in McRoberts, Letcher Co, Kentucky).

Noah's book Mountain Feuds gives a detailed history of the feud between the Wrights (Lunce) family and Noah, his brother John Reynolds and Creed Potter b 1882, s/o Abraham Potter and Sarah Sallie Wright.

Noah's home was in Seco, KY. He traveled 3 miles on school days to Neon, Kentucky to attend school. Noah was the oldest among his siblings and had to look after the home affairs. For this reason, he writes that he failed to get the education his brother, John received. Noah's brother John Reynolds was a school teacher.

Noah wrote about his parents in this way, "I want the reader to know and understand we were raised and instructed by as good parents as ever lived in the State of Kentucky, or elsewhere. We were taught to do unto all men as we would they do unto us."

In Noah's book, "The History of the Feuds of the Mountain Parts of Eastern Kentucky", he writes, "I, Noah Reynolds, being the oldest boy of the family, as I have stated before, at an early age learned the brick mason trade, working with my Uncle Ange Reynolds. We built the first courthouse that was built at Clintwood, Dickenson county, Virginia, I being only thirteen years old."

"At the age of seventeen, we made the brick and built the courthouse at Hazard, Perry county, Kentucky. I also helped to build the court-house and jail at Whitesburg, Letcher county, Kentucky, where my brother, William H. Reynolds, is now jailer.

I continued to lay brick, building chimneys in divers places in Eastern Kentucky and Southwest Virginia, farming, trading some in stock, which leads up to the time of which I am about to relate."
