Poteet- Poteat families have lived in this part of North Carolina since at least 1790 when John, Jr., John, Sr., Edward and William (all called "Boteat" in the printed recor d) appear in the census ofthe 13th company of Burke Co., NC.
< /div>
In July 1792 and in April 1793, Edward and John Poteet served on a Burke County jury
In July and Oct. 1794, John Poteet is mentioned in the jury lists. Since that time, the name John Poteet has been a commonly used one. It seems reasonable that John Poteet, Sr., and other members of the Poteet family may have come throughVirginia where earlier recor ds of a John Poteet have been located. A connection with the earlier family in Maryland may eventually be established (see Appendix).
The JOHN POTEET who heads the family outlined here was probably one of the two John Poteet's named in the 1790 census o f Burke County. The remaining early records of Burke County, NC, are meager because many were burned in the streets of Morganton in 1865 and information identifying these men is scarce. Su rviving court records show that, in the space of about ten years, two men named John Poteet (one leaving widow Elizabeth and the other leaving widow Phebe) left estates in Burke Co., NC, but no relati onship between them has been established.
One of the men was dead before the 1800 census was taken.The will of John Poteet, Sr., was filed for probate in April of 1799, but no copy is known. William Poteet and William Coles proved it. On 7 Oct. 1805, Elizabeth Poteet, Thomas Poteet, and Mark Poteet sold to James McIntyre, all of Burke County, for fifty pounds paid to say “Elizabeth Poteet, Thomas and Mark Poteet and others”, ninety-four acres on Pony Branch. This land had been granted (state grant no. 1911, dated 7 July 1794) to John Po teet and was described as bordering John McGimesy's (formerly Thomas Bailey's) 150 acres, and [no given name] Mackey. The land was 100 poles northto south and 150 poles west to east, with the northern line crossing Pony Branch. Elizabeth Poteet
