My great grandfather was Harrison Potter, son of Reuben Potter and Martha Snider Potter. He was born in July 1877 and died in December of 1906. I think he died 25 December 1906. The story goes that he was shot and killed during a card game for allegedly cheating (imagine that). I have also been told that the murder occured near a mine in Ashe County. I don’t know what records this event might have generated but 1906 sounds recent enough that some type of legal documents would have been created. Does anyone know where I might go next, what might be available, or know of someone who does this type research?
