In a letter written 26 Jul 1868, from J S Douglass and Ellen Poteet Douglass to James W Harp they mention “How sorry we were to hear of the death of our beloved Brother T. J. Poteet and to witness the last of Brother B. O. Poteet. They were dear relative of our, But the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away and we hope their temporal destruction will be their everlasting goal.” James W Harp’s wife was Jane Poteet Harp. This implies that a B O Poteet and a T J Poteet were Ellen Poteet Douglass and Jane Poteet Harp’s brothers and were dead by 26 Jul 1868. The wording in the letter states that the Douglasses in Arkansas HEARD of the death of T J Poteet from the Harps in Iowa. This implies that T J Poteet lived in Iowa. Also, the Douglasses in Arkansas WITNESSED the death of B O Poteet. This implies that B O Poteet died in Arkansas.
