Robert Potter, son of Robert and Catherine Potter, married Sarah Ralph, November 8th 1751, daughter of Hugh Ralph, of Scituate. Mr. Potter lived on Burnt Hill, Scituate, and was a farmer.
Robert Potter, born about 1730, died in the latter part of 1784, or first of 1785, as I find a will signed by him September 3d, 1784, received for probate February 23d, 1785-Scituate Records, Book 2, Probate Records, page 476. It is not known when his wife died.

Sarah RALPH-4087 was born in 1730. Sarah married (MRIN:710) Robert POTTER-868 on 8 Nov 1751.

Robert POTTER [Parents]-9283 was born in 1690 in Warwick, Kent, Rhode Island. He died on 4 Apr 1758 in Scituate, Providence, Rhode Island. Robert married (MRIN:711) Catherine JOHNSON-9284 on 3 Apr 1729.

We now commence with Robert Potter, son of John Potter, and his wife Ruth (Fisher) Potter, and grand-son of the first Robert Potter mentioned in this work. It appears that he moved to Providence, now Scituate, and there lived the rest of his days. As we find a deed in the Providence records, book 4, page 102, of ____ acres of land in the Westcanaug purchase, for which he paid $?, deed from Daniel Abbot, 1719. This Robert Potter was born March 5th, 1665 or '66. We do not know when he died, but it appears that he was living in 1730, as we find a deed then given to his daughter, Sarah Bennett, wife of Benjamin Bennett, dated October 7th, 1730, giving them thirty acres during their natural lives, then to go to their son, Jonathan Bennett (the copy of said deed the writer now has in his possession). It would appear that his wife was not living, as only his name was attached to the deed. This is all the information we have on him, except that he had a son Robert, who settled in Scituate, and died there in 1758. He probably came there from Warwick with his father. This Robert Potter was great-grand-father to the writer. The writer found in a record book in the hands of Dr. E. M. Snow, superintendent of the board of health of Providence, where Robert Potter of Providence, was married to Catherine Johnson, of Warwick, April 3d, 1729. It would seem that he became acquainted with her before he left Warwick and went back and took her for his wife and lived in Scituate, as I find a deed (to him) from Daniel Abbot to Robert Potter, Jr., dated 1729, of ___ acres of the Wescanaug land for which he paid L30.-Providence Record book, No. 8, page 243. This Robert Potter died April 4th, 1758. His birth and the death of his wife are not know to the writer.

Catherine JOHNSON-9284 was born in 1700. She died in Oct 1748. Catherine married (MRIN:711) Robert POTTER-9283 on 3 Apr 1729.

Capt. Ezra KNIGHT [Parents]-869 was born on 8 Jun 1764 in Scituate, Providence, Rhode Island. He died on 10 Dec 1842 in Scituate, Providence, Rhode Island. He was buried in Waterman-Battey Cemetery, Coventry, Kent, Rhode Island. Ezra married (MRIN:712) Henrietta BAKER-870 about 1784.
