- Son of John Potter and Phebe Arnold.
.
Husband of Alice Waite, with whom he had ten known children: Hannah, Phebe, Amos, Sarah "Sally," Olive, Hunnemon, Caleb, Joshua, Andrew, and William Potter.
.
Note: William and Alice (Waite) Potter were buried on the Eunice Wilcox Farm in the north end of the North Pownal village. Their graves were located at the top of a gravel bank near the roadside. I searched the entire area on three occasions in (2008, 2011 and again in 2012) and the stones are no longer extant. It appears that they may have tumbled down the embankment and succumbed to the passage of time and the development that has taken place in that part of the village.

OBITUARY
"On Sunday last departed this life, Mr. William Potter, of this town. He was suddenly seized with an apoplectic fit, as was supposed, a few days before his death, as he was at work in his barn, but recovered a little after being conveyed to the house; he however soon relapsed into a state of insensibility, and lay from Thursday the 27th ult. until the day abovementioned, when he breathed his last. It is remarkable that Mrs. Potter his wife, was seized in an equally sudden manner in December last, after having attended to the usual business of her family, in the morning, and was a corpse before night."
