Jan, I can trace our lineage through the Pottingers to Edward III through John of Gaunt as well as another Pottinger line which goes back through Joan of Acre to Edward I. Both of whom take you back through to Alfred. The lineage for the latter can easily be found in Joseph Foster's 1885 book - Our Noble and Gentle Families of Royal Descent. They were also the Pottinger line from Berkshire, and subsequently my line was in Ireland. Paul B.

Hello Barry - Hopefully you still use the same email address - 11 years after your query. I am a great nephew of Sir Henry Pottinger's. We live in Australia and i have most of the Australian family tree fairly well pegged. regards,

I'm looking for the information that traces the Pottinger family back to Alfred the Great. Does anyone have this information? My great great grandfather was born in the Cambridgeshire area. I think it was near Littleport. I also learned that he possibly had a sister named Charlotte.

Hello Barry, My name is Mary Pottinger and I am from Nelson County Kentucky. I am taking a short vacation and ran across your post from the year 2000. The Pottinger name is still very alive and well in Kentucky. I am an eighth generation Kentucky Pottinger. My family goes all the way back to 1200 or so in Berkshire England. My parents who are now deceased started the Pottinger Family Reunion in Kentucky in 1965 and I had attended every one consecutively until last year when my work kept me from being able to attend. Would love to correspond, I would love to hear more about you. I am sure we can make a connection, anyone with the name Pottinger in the United States is definitely related. Hope to hear from you.

Hi,
I haven't checked message board for years but just did today.
I live in Canada but my father was born and raised until he was 14 in Reading, Berks. Then moved to Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. I have so far traced back to Jonathon Pottinger and Naomi Dance, my great grandparents. Their son Frank was my grandfather. Frank's wife was Marianne Routh. I know very little of my family history.
Hope to hear from you.
Cheers.

Hi Barry;

I'm in KZN and have a copy of our family tree, if u send me more details on your dad, mom and Pottinger grandparents I can look them up. Dates of birth would help. It is traced from 15 hundreds to my dad. My grandfather was Col John Ashton of British army in India.

Re: Martha Pottinger of Berkshire, wife of George Mason

wwickfield — 2010-08-08 20:59:28Z

Hi Terry,

I believe your suspicion is correct. Martha Pottinger (b. 1718 East Ilsley) is the older sister of my ancestor John Pottinger (1720-1786 East Ilsley) and they are both the children of John and Ann (Lever) Pottinger. In fact, John Pottinger (b. 1687 Compton - d. Oct 1748 East Ilsley) and Ann Lever (b. 1683 North Moreton - d. 1754 East Ilsley) were married 03 Aug 1712 in Basildon, Berkshire, and had the following children:

Mary (b. 1713 Compton)
Anne (b. 1714 Compton
Elizabeth (b. 1716 Compton)
Martha (1718 East Ilsley)
John (1720 East Ilsley)
Thomas (1722 East Ilsley)
Joanna (1728 East Ilsley).

Is Martha (b. 1718)an ancestor of yours? John (b. 1720) is my ancestor and our lineage is the following:

John Pottinger,
of Compton
1687-1748
m. Ann Lever
|
|
John Pottinger,
of East Ilsley
1720-1786
m. Elizabeth Church
|
|
John Pottinger,
of East Ilsley
1758-
m. Hannah Adnams
|
|
William Pottinger,
of East Ilsley
1784-18
m. Sarah ??
|
|
Robert Pottinger,
of Portland Isle
1811-18
m. Abby Augusta Cooper

Please let me know if you would like to share information.

Thanks!

Martha Pottinger of Berkshire, wife of George Mason

Terry_Rundle — 2010-08-07 14:44:08Z

On 14 Nov 1743 Martha Pottinger married George Mason in East Ilsley, Berkshire, but I am having problems identifying with certainty the right Martha Pottinger. I suspect that it is the Martha who was christened on 22 Dec 1718 in East Ilsley, but other candidates include those christened in Newbury, Berks. on 23 Jul 1711, in Basildon, Berks. on 4 Jan 1719, and in Speen, Berks on 25 Feb 1721.

Can anyone help, please?

Hi whoever, this seems to have come to me in error. None of the people's names you have mentioned relate to my family. My family are definitely Pottingers/Pottengers but not those that are mentioned in your message. Your message is addressed to Linda anyway so obviously came to me in error.

Sorry I cannot help you.

Re: Pottinger family

b2222b — 2009-09-14 07:39:58Z

Hi Linda - I have read your various Pottinger posts, and am especially interested in this one to which I am replying, since it mentions the line from John and Agnes through their son Walter who mar. Joan Holloway. I am a direct descendant of these people (from a distaff branch in USA, so can't help with DNA). I have lately been searching for records associated with these individuals, and the line through Walter's son Henry who mar. Elizabeth Absolon, his son Robert mar. Cecily Sexton, his son Robert mar. Sarah _?_, and his son John who immig. to USA (and is the ancestor of a great number of Americans). I located references to the wills of Robert and his wife Cecily ("Cicilia"), to wit: Robert Pottenger, taylor, of Aldbourne, Wilts., prob. 4 Jul 1673, in will register of P.C.C., pye quire nos. 53-118; and Cicilia Pottenger, widow, of Aldbourne, Wilts., prob. 3 Jul 1673, same location (the actual will dates were not given, although from other data Robert's will may have been dated 4 Feb 1665, 4 days before his burial). I have not seen these wills, which might be located at PRO Kew (do you have images of them, or a transcription/summary?). I have no explanation as to why their wills were probated within a day of each other, and several years after their deaths (Robert's burial death has been given as 8 Feb 1665, and Cecily's as 9 Oct 1670, both apparently in Aldbourne records). Perhaps there are court records which could explain the delay in probating these wills.

There is an article concerning these families in The American Genealogist, v. 68, no. 3 (Jul 1993), pp. 139-145, by Neil D. Thompson and Paul C. Reed titled 'Falsehood and Truth, The Ancestry of John Pottenger, Immigrant to Maryland in 1684." This article apparently contains some parish data concerning several of the families noted above, sufficient to deduce the lineage given, but I am more interested in the data you have seen personally.

I would be interested in the details of similar records you might have seen (parish vitals, deeds, wills, etc., such as the eldest John's 1555 will) which bear on all these individuals, including those which prove the line of descendancy which I have given here. I note that you may have a lot of Berks. data, but perhaps have not yet gone throught the Wilts. records associated with these Pottinger/Pottenger/etc. families (Berks. records alone could keep you busy for years!). I have found some deeds associated with the Burghfield/Englefield Pottingers (many named Richard), of the line given in the Harleian Visitation of Berks., vol. 1, p. 264 (by the way, this visitation might be the source of an earlier and incorrect ancestry for John Pottenger, the immigrant to USA; it also contains an infamous error regarding the Holloway family). However, I am less interested in this branch.

In like manner, I would be interested in records concerning the Holloway, Absolon, and Smith/Smyth ancestors of Robert Pottenger (d. 1665), being the Absolon family of Cholsey, and the Holloway family of Pangbourne (who apparently held the manor of Maidenhatch, which may have passed to the Burghfield Pottingers in 1596, though not without some difficulty, as alluded to in the Victoria Hist. of Berks., v. 3, pp. 303-306).

Please contact me here or preferably at b2222b, followed by the "@" symbol, then "yahoo.com", and I will contact you from my regular email address, not given here.

Hello Barry - I have posted several other replies - but at risk of repeating - shall transcribe it here also. I saw an email dating back from 2002 - stating that Sir Henry was the brother of George - of the South African line. I can categorically state this is incorrect. I am a gr.gr nephew of Sir Henry's and still in touch with many of the descendants of the line. George co -wrote a book with another of Sir Henry's relatives, Sir Patrick McCrory. Patrick wrote to me until his death in the early 90's and stated that George knew he wasn't directly related, but expressed that he had always wished he was. I have been researching my Pottinger family since 1975. My direct email address is pabriggs @ ceinternet.com.au. Will be most interested to chat about the family if wish to contact me. Sir Henry had 4 children. Only two of them had family and I know they all grew up in the UK - in spite of his Sth African tenure. Shall be catching up with some descendants in a few weeks in the UK, regards, Paul

Hi Brian,

Just thought I would drop you a line asking how things are going? It would be much easier if you gave me your email address then I wouldn´t have to keep on coming back to this site and calling your letter up. My email address is daisyaqui@hotmail.com.

Very hot still in Spain, and so tiring. I am hoping that the temperatures will ease up a bit in a couple of weeks.

The researcher at the Berkshire Record Office is away until the first week of September so won´t hear anything from him until after then. Don´t hold out any hopes though, I don´t think that sort of information will be forthcoming, you can´t get much from a single sentence on a parish record can you? In those days it was enough to write down the child´s name and who were the parents, and the date, no other details were given usually.

Have been in touch this week with a couple of other Pottinger people and have exchanged details with them which is nice. Last time I looked on GR which was ages ago, there were only a handful of Pottingers. This week when I looked there were over 300! Amazing!

Do you have a family tree that I could look at?

Keep in touch,
Regards Val

Re: Pottinger family

grahampottinger — 2009-08-05 15:28:06Z

Hi Val,

A few years ago I did a walk through with the Pottinger name on I think IGI. The trail I followed went into Wiltshire. it appeared that the line was headed from Reading towards Bristol which would make sense as I think the Pottinger name may have Norse/Viking origins as there are so many in the north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland Islands. Did you know there is even a Shetland fiddle reel called Pottinger's Reel?

Cheers,
Graham

Re: Pottinger family

valeriekirby96 — 2009-07-31 11:51:52Z

Hi Graham,

I have added your name to my family tree. I should like to add other members of your family if there are any, the family tree is only for me, it´s not going to be made public. Is that okay?

Yes, I honestly don´t know where I got the name of David Yates from, but as I have no other generations coming from his name I have just changed it to John Miller.

I don´t expect there is a deep dark secret though sorry to disappoint you.

I did, as promised, search my burial index CD which is from the Berkshire FHS. I found several Pottingers but none that are relevant to my family tree. So nothing to be gained there.

I will write to the very helpful researcher at the Berkshire Record Office and see if he can help with regard to us being able to determine which Philip Pottinger/Pottenger married Hannah Sadler (your relly) and Elizabeth Stockbridge (mine). Don´t hold your breath though. It might be worth getting in touch also with the Wiltshire Record office to see if they can suggest anything.

I will come back to you when I hear back from Berkshire Record Office.

Regards, Val

Re: Pottinger family

grahampottinger — 2009-07-30 15:15:08Z

Hi Val,

Yes, Sydney was my father and Ruby my aunt. Frank and Syd emigrated to Renfrew, Ontario, Canada in 1904 and Ruby and Marianne followed in 1907 (according to family storyline). I have never heard of Ruby being married to a David Yates. She was married to John E. Miller for about 60 years. They were married in Canada. Maybe why you can't find David Yates unless that was a deep dark family secret!
I shall keep in touch,

Cheers,
Graham

Re: Pottinger family

valeriekirby96 — 2009-07-30 09:55:17Z

Hi Brian,

Sorry I haven´t been in touch but have been searching back through my parish records to remind myself of Philip´s marriage.

All I have is a one-line entry in the parish records saying that Philip Pottinger married an Elizabeth Stockbridge in 1754. There was not often a “full entry” written in those days. In my experience it was mostly just a hard to read hand written one-line sentence really. I haven´t applied for the parish record of his marriage to Hannah Sadler as she isn´t my family.

I do have a CD of the Berkshire burials and will search that to see if I can find out anything new.

Will come back to you if I find anything interesting.
Regards Val

Re: Pottinger family

valeriekirby96 — 2009-07-30 09:43:15Z

Hi Graham,

Nice to hear from you. I think I have your father Sydney in my family tree, born to Francis Pottinger and Marianne Routh. He had a sister Ruby born 1888 who married a David Yates. I have never been able to trace David Yates or his parents. Perhaps you can help me there.

Your Francis was indeed a son of Jonathan and Naomi Pottinger, He was one of eight children, and the eldest Hannah Elizabeth was my great grandmother so, Hi cousin, nice to meet you.

With reference to Jonathan being the son of Francis born 1764, no he was the son of Francis born 1792 and Hannah Maul. Since 2005 when I wrote my original message on Ancestry I have found things to be proven slightly differently.

Philip Pottinger of whom I wrote was born in 1729 in Lambourn is also wrong because having since checked all the Parish Records in Berkshire for that time there was no trace of a Philip born in Lambourn at all.

I have Philip Pott(e)nger as his father being born in All Cannings, Wiltshire in 1706 but have no way yet of proving this is the right Philip. I have a Philip who married an Elizabeth Stockbridge in 1754 in Lambourn but as you will see from notes I have written to others we have no way yet of finding out which Philip this is.

Hope this helps. Keep in touch.
Regards Val

Re: Pottinger family

grahampottinger — 2009-07-30 00:58:24Z

Hi Val,
I am just beginning my Pottinger search. My father was Sydney Pottinger (b 1890, Reading, Berks.) son of Francis (Frank) Pottinger b. 1853? Berks.) son of Johnathan and Naomi. You are ahead of me knowing about Francis b 1764 and Phillip b 1729. At this point I can't help you but winter is the time I generally do genealogy. Keep in touch.

Graham

Re: Pottinger family

lme114 — 2009-07-26 02:58:51Z

Dear Val & Brian
I am on the same quest as you both about which Philip is the chap who married Hannah Sadler at Lambourne. I haven't checked the original registers, but I do note on the Berkshire Burial Index that the transcriber says that more information is on the entry for his burial in 1784, but the index doesn't say what :-(
Like you Brian I have got the three children of Philip & Hannah plus a lot of info on other Pottinger families from Berkshire.
If either of you get to view the original registers could you let me know what they say about Philip please? I shall be in the UK in May next year & I'll be at the Berkshire Record Office for a week so if nothing turns up before then I'll search the Lambourne registers and let you know the outcome.
Regards
Linda

Re: Pottinger family

jbhardaker — 2009-07-26 00:40:06Z

Hi Val

Thanks for your information.

You are of course right that most marriages took place in the home parish of the bride. I guess that the only way we might establish for sure which Philip married Hannah Sadler is if the register entry for the marriage gives Philip's home parish. In my experience it was common for this information to be recorded for people not 'of this parish'. Do you have the full register entry? I am just hoping that Philip had not relocated before he married Hannah and that where he came from was recorded.

Re the family of Philip and Hannah, I have the following, all at Lambourn: Henry bap 19 Aug 1727, Hannah bap 6 Mar 1729/30 and William bap 4 Jun 1735 (IGI batch C023012).

Unfortunately, I have no access to the registers to check any of this.

Re: Pottinger family

valeriekirby96 — 2009-07-25 11:32:26Z

Hi Brian,

Nice to hear from you. Well, with regard to Philip Pottinger marrying Hannah Sadler, my Philip (spelt Pottenger) born on 11th August 1706 in All Cannings, did indeed marry a Hannah Sadler on 1st Oct 1726.

Philip would have got married in Lambourne because that is where Hannah Sadler was born. His second wife was also born in Lambourne..

Hannah died on 8 Dec 1749 in Speen, and Philip married again, this time an Elizabeth Stockbridge born 1st Mar 1730, on 4th Nov 1754.

I can trace no children of the first marriage but from the second marriage I have a Hannah born 12 Apr 1761 and a Francis born 20 Feb 1764.

There doesn´t seem to be any way to prove my Philip or yours was the Philip that married Hannah Sadler in Lambourne but I have him being born to another Philip Pottenger and his wife Elizabeth Ruddle. Although I have the parish records for all these people, as I said there is no definite way to prove which Philip was the one mentioned. It could well have been the one you mention also couldn´t it?

I have the date of Philip and Bridgett´s marriage also. It was the 1 Oct 1698.

Sorry I can´t be of more help. Let me know though how you get on.though won´t you?

Regards, Val Kirby

Re: Pottinger family

jbhardaker — 2009-07-24 04:20:08Z

I too have a Philip Pottinger m Hannah Sadler in my wife's ancestry. With help from Liz Pottinger I have presumed that Philip was born 1699 at Ogbourne Saint George, Wiltshire, son of Philip and Bridget nee Porter. Ogbourne St George is only about 20 km from Lambourn. All Cannings in Wiltshire is about twice that distance from Lambourn so I picked the man from the nearer place as more likely to have married in Lambourn.

Re: Pottinger family

lme114 — 2009-05-07 20:07:10Z

Hi Val
Yes I am pretty certain that we share ancestors and therefore are cousins!! I can get the later Pottingers at Lambourn back to Philip P & Hannah Sadler, but can't find a baptism of Philip and so don't know his parents.
Going from the top down I have Walter P son of John & Agnes of Compton mentioned in his fathers will of 1555. Walter moved to nextdoor Cholsey on marriage and had a son Henry who married Elizabeth Absolon. They had a daughter at Cholsey then disappeared from that parish to re-appear at Lambourn. Henry & Elizabeth's wills were probated together in 1613 and they give a John Absolon of Cholsey as one of the excutors which nicely links them together.
I can get this family down to Robert & Sarah who are having children 1659 - 1668. Of these children one of them,John, goes to America and starts the Pottinger branch over there.
So you can see I have a gap between 1668 and 1726 in Lambourn.
I haven't ventured into Wiltshire yet as the Berkshire P's are work enough, but I am aware that they seem to have moved over the border.
I would be very pleased to hear who Philip's parents were and where he fits in with all this.
Best wishes
Linda
PS I am happy to share all my research with you, but don't want to overwhelm you with "stuff" that may not be of interest!!

Re: Pottinger family

valeriekirby96 — 2009-05-07 14:58:33Z

Hi Linda,

It´s nice to hear from you. Yes, I have a Philip Pottenger born 1706 marrying a Hannah Sadler on 1st Oct 1726.

I have the Pottinger/Pottengers going back to 1635 but have lost them before that so if you can help it would be superb. There is a Jefferie Pottinger born 1599 in All Cannings, and another Jeffere born 1600 also in All Cannings but I cannot tie them up at present. Can you throw any light on this?

I think we may be related somewhere down the line. So “Hi cousin!”

Kind regards, Val

Re: Pottinger family

Hi Val
I have some information on the Pottinger's of Lambourn and would be interested in research swapping. I am particularly interested in Philip Pottinger who married Hannah Sadler in 1726 at Lambourn. If I can make a connection between Philip and the Pottinger's living in Lambourn in the 1600's then I can offer you quite a few generations back :-)

Regards
Linda

Thomas, May 1873, Ethel Vira Thomas, Oct. 6, 1892. Carl Vivian Thomas, May 1896, and Floyd Vernon Thomas, July, 1904. All these births are listed.This says Riley Owen Thomas of Hamilton Co. and Viola V. Brooks of Stephens ? On December 22, 1891 by Rev. Payne of Breckenridge. Interested? It is for sell for $2,500.

Thanks,

Hi
Could anyone who has the above book tell me the details of the first Pottinger who went from England to USA ? I am particularly interested in any mention of the parish of Compton, Berkshire, England.
Thank you
Linda

Hi
Just going through all the Pottinger messages and found your enquiry dated 2001 about Parslowe Reade. According to the IGI this marriage happened in Purley, not South Stoke. I am trying to tie up all the Berkshire Pottinger's so happy to swap information.

Linda

Hello Diane
At the present time I have my Pottinger family based in Compton, then moving to Aldworth and Basildon with a couple going to Reading. I intend in the future to widen the net and see if I can link up with other Pottinger's in surrounding parishes. I am pretty sure that your Blewbury Pottinger's will originate from the Compton ones - you just have to find the link!!
Have you accounted for all the Pottinger's living in Blewbury? If so who is the earliest one, if I have a person who "disappears" from Compton at that time that would be an indication worth looking into.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Regards
Linda

Hi Linda,

I'm new to this forum and I'm interested in your discussion regarding the Pottinger family from Compton, Berkshire. My GGGGrandfather William Pottinger, I believe, was christened 02 Nov 1772 in Blewbury, Berkshire to John Pottinger and Sarah Nevill. I am looking for any infomation on members of the Pottinger family living in the Blewbury and surrounding areas in the 1700s to help me understand where my William Pottinger fits in. I know that Compton is fairly close to Blewbury. My William Pottinger was in the military and married to Sarah around 1804 and they had two sons William and Robert who also entered the military. Any information is most helpful.

Thank you,

Diane
