Every numbered descendant of Jeremiah and Mary Carter in Rev. T. M. Potts’s Bi-Centenary Memorial (1883), read by machine from the Internet Archive scan. Each entry gives the Potts number, generation, dates and marriages as Potts printed them, with links to parents, children and every archive story that names the person. Default label SUPPORTED (Potts). Where we hold a record, the profile pages and the Family Line say so. The machine reading makes mistakes, and each entry lists its checks. Potts closes in 1883, so everyone here is historical. People are never merged on a shared name.
