On 24 Apr 1854, Mary Potee age about 60 widow of Peter swears he was a Private in the 39th regiment (Lt Col Benjmain Fowler) of the Maryland Miltia in the War of 1812, she married him 10 Feb 1820 by Methodist Minister Joseph Shane, that she was Mary Young prior to he rmarriage, that Peer died 6 Feb 1840. The purpose of this was to obtain 40 acres of bounty land. Samuel and Martha Stallings attested to Mary being who she says she was.

I take this as some evidence that Patty/Martha was sister of Peter Potee, Mary Young’s huband.
