• Notes

  Rhode Island Vital Records (1853-1900); Eric Hogan (2/1/00): I'm related somehow to a Walter Barney and an Alice Barney. They should be from the Massachusetts/Rhode Island area. The reason I know this, is my mother has a suitcase full of old photos that have been past down for a couple generations and in them I found a photo of, as above, Walter Barney and another of an Alice Barney. I have no idea my relationship to them however. The linkage to a lot of the people in the suitcase I'm just starting to discover and I'm curious on my relation to the Barney family. Other surnames on my great-grandmother's side which all should be from Mass./RI are Peck, Bliss, Potter, Lane, Read, Smith, etc. The farthest back names I have for Peck and Potter families I'm related to are: Charles Peck (b.1836?- d. 4/9/1894) and Mahala Johnson.= son Albert Peck Potter is Capt. H.A.L. Potter and Mary Read. =daughter Mary Potter [Same] (2/8/00): This looks like it very well could be my ancestor. For example is says "Walter BARNEY, son of William Henry Harrison BARNEY and Sarah Larkin POTTER" My great-great grandmother's maiden name was Sally Larkin Bliss, and her mother was Mary Augusta Potter daughter of H.A.L. Potter and Mary Read. I have no idea who H.A.L. Potter's parents or siblings are though and maybe this is the missing link. I have found a tombstone of H.A.L Potter (1816 - 1900). I'm not sure how I can find his parents and siblings though. [Same] (2/8/00) My great-great-grandmother Sally Larkin (Bliss) was born 5 Aug 1878 in East Prov., RI. (d. 1962 in Attleboro, Ma) Her mother was Mary Augusta Potter (b. 4 Mar 1844) and father Franklin Smith Bliss (b. 19 Jun 1843). Sarah Larkin Potter (b. Aug 1843)seems like that has to be who Sally Larkin Bliss received her middle name. She would seem to be Mary Augusta Potter's (cousin maybe?) according to the birthdates. Attleboro, Mass. is where most of my family is from.
