Robert POTTER is noted by Hurd's History of Essex as owning a Tannery, formerly called Keysars as follows:
" This property was not disposed of by Keysaar's heirs till after 1702, when it probably passed into the possession
of the Potters, who owned the property on the opposite or northerly side of Boston Street. In 1705 Robert Potter,
who was son of the first settler, Nicholas, disposed of this tan-yard with the tan-house to his son Benjamin,
who was a tanner, having, having very likely also learned his trade from the Keysars;
Benjamin afterwards acquired the title of Captain, and pursued his calling here till 1745, leaving his estate to his children, only one of whom was a son, named Benjamin, and he became non compos and had a guardian for many years." He died on 21 Mar 1709/10 in Lynn, MA death place would be assumed, but the record did not specifically so state. |
