First Generation

--------------------------------------------------

1 William Lowery POTEETE. Born on 7 Sep 1887 in Union County, Georgia. William Lowery died in Bakersfield, Kern County, California, on 1 Jan 1974; he was 86. Buried on 4 Jan 1974 in Greenlawn Memorial Park, Bakersfield, California. Cause of death: Heart Failure. Occupation: Oil Company Worker. Religion: Baptist.

William Lowery (he used the name Lowery) was the second of nine children born to James Allen Poteete and Martha Davenport. He was born in Union County,  Georgia and was here that he met and married Opla Teresa Chapman in 1914. They were married by a Justice of the Peace in a horse-drawn buggy, beside a river. Lowery and Opla began their marriage in a two-room log cabin on the family farm. Their first child, Monteen, was born here.

After the birth of Monteen they moved to California where Lowery was employed by the Sounthern Pacific Railroad. They were later sent to Kerman where Reinette was born. Later Lowery was transferred to Taft where Max was born and the family lived in a little railroad box car, with added rooms, which had been converted into living quarters, because housing was scarce. During World War I Lowery held two jobs, one in a warehouse and the other as a night watchman for the railroad.

Lowery eventually went to work for the Standard Oil Company and over the years other children were born. He was later transferred to Bakersfield and they bought four acres with an old house on McCord Avenue for $2,500. Lowery improved the house as time went by, and eventually the number of children increased to 10.

Following retirement from Standard Oil, Lowery and Opla sold their place on McCord and moved to Grass Valley where they lived out their years.

W. L. Poteete (1887-1974)

by Max W. Poteete

Handsome in countenance, narrow face, pleasantly strong chin, grey eyes and brownish wavy hair until his early 50's. Wiry in build, maybe 5'9" tall, 140 pounds plus or minus during his life.

His formal education -- to the 4th grade -- marginal but likely on a par with his peers that he grew up with.  He was an opinionated man.  His Bible was marked extensively and the pages were well thumbed.  His favorite preachers were the Hell Fire and Brimstone School.  Daddy had the common biases and prejudices that can frequently be found in people who have had a limited formal education.  For instance, even though on T.V. he saw the astronauts walking on the moon, he said that it really didn't happen.

He found Destiny Magazine , the house organ of British Israel, to be very credulous, but he could not convince Opla of it in any way.

Sentiment and emotion were difficult for him to handle, caused this eyes to glisten and his lips to quiver. A defense for this was a sometimes gruffness or abruptness, that could be "off putting".

February 1992

It is not known when or with whom Edward Hyatt came to western North Carolina.  He was in the Battle of King's Mountain on the 7th of October, 1780.  It is told in the family that he brought the first wagon over the Blue Ridge Mountains in that vicinity.  That was when he was moving his family from Morgonton to Burke County (now Haywood County).  To go down some mountains he would cut down a small tree and fasten it to the back of the wagon as a drag to keep the wagon from overrunning the team.  He build a cabin and with other men helped organize and build the first church in what is now Haywood County.  It was a log structure, the Maple Grove Baptist Church.

The area was on the very frontier of settlement.  It was Cherokee Indian land.  Edward took pains to be on good terms with the Indians.

68 Arjalon PRICE. Born app 1702 in Northumberland County, Virginia. Arjalon died in Orange County, Virginia, in 1773; he was 71. Buried in On His Farm.

Arjalon and Joyce had 7 children.

Guy Davenport provided a photograph of the house Arjalon and Joyce lived in.  The house has been preserved and is in the James Madison Museum in Orange, Orange County, Virginia.  It is the age and architecture that earned its preservation; not that Arjalon Price lived in it.  The house was built in 1733 and is 16 x 16 with a loft, a common design of the time.  This one was added on to over the years and built over so that it was buried in a much larger frame house.  Guy was not sure, but thinks that the ground floor was one room only.  There would almost certainly be a separate kitchen building and probably a milk house and a smokehouse for meat.  The interior is of plaster over wooden lathe.  There is a stairway leading to the loft which probably contained two bedrooms for children.  All other living would have been in the large ground floor room.  Guy was surprised that the house was of sawn lumber instead of a log house.  There must have been a sawmill nearby.

App 1730 when Arjalon was 28, he married Joyce BARBER, in ?

In 1752 when the present Gregorian Calendar was adopted in the British Empire, New Year's Day was returned to 1 January, so on a modern calendar Shadrack was born in 1721 .

1232 John GATER I. Born bef 1600 in England. John died ?  in ? Occupation: Employee Of Virginia Company.

In a 1624 Virginia census John was living at James City and with the Corporation.  Guy Davenport assumes that this the corporation was the Virginia Company and that they were his employer.  The following year he was on Mulberry Island, probably still employed in the Virginia Company.   He told the census taker he arrived in Virginia in 1620 on the ship "George".

In July 1635, the ship "Assurance" sailed from London with about 200 passengers bound for Virginia.  On the passenger list was John Gater, age 36, Joan Gater, Age 23 and John Gater, age 15.  It appears that John Gater in 1620 left a bride behind in England when he first went to Virginia.  When he returned years later, she had apparently died, but a son remained.  He then married Joan.
