I am looking for the parents of Russell Potter who was born in New York, probably around Albany, in 1797, and died in Michigan in 1871.

I have a letter from a Russell E. Potter from Woodbridge. N.J. dated Feb 17, 1933. It was addressed to a Grand-Mother Bean RFD. # 1 Payne Cove, Pelham, TN. Do yo know anything about this Russell Potter. He would have been an adult in 1933.
Thanks, Sue esoneal@juno.com
