�����Potter Pickering was born circa 1800 in Pennsylvania, USA. He was the son of Jotham Pickering and Alice Pickering. He died circa 1866 in Glenwood, Pennsylvania, USA.
�����"It was Potter Pickering's son Byron who moved to Wisconsin. At least he was on the 1870 census living in Waushara Co WI. Potter was the brother of Cordelia's father. In 1860, Potter was living in Leonidas, St Joseph County Michigan.Potter could have also moved to Wisconsin for a while. His wife is buried in the Gibson Cemetery. The book says Potter died in Glennwood. It doesn't say what state. We did not find his grave. His son Byron and Cordelia grew up in the same area and as cousins it's safe to assume they might have been close. If you take a map and draw a line from Gibson, PA through Stark County, through St Joseph Co MI to Waushara Co Wisconsin, you have a fairly straight line of progression.I have attached a copy of the 1860 census of Leonidas with Potter on it, and a copy of the 1870 census with Byron. If Cor-delia died in Michigan as the book states then she probably was in Leonidas or on the way there, or while leaving from there! Anyway it's our next great mystery to solve. On Sept 1, 1856 Potter Pickering filed on 40 acres of land. The claim was filed at Stevens Point Wisconsin. The land description was: 1 SWSE 4TH PM - 1831 MINNESOTA/WISCONSIN No 20 N 8 E 7."1 He was millwright. He lived in 1860 in Leonidas, St Joseph, Michigan, USA.2
