Wedding license of Harriett and Jonathan says "Butte, Montana" because Wickes was not incorporated, just a mining site. Information from their daughter plus Harriett's brothers who watched the wedding. Detailed story in a letter from Vera (nee Sinclair) Hanscen) to Rachel Harriett Bartlett, granddaughter of Jonathan and Hattie. All of them have memorials on FindaGrave.com.

Harriett's parents were Baptist Minister Rev. Aaron Potter and Suffragette Frances Augusta (born Shaw) Potter. Hattie was one of the younger of 8 Potter children. Seven lived to adulthood per obituary of Merritt Ashmun Potter and all were well-educated feminists.

Hattie's older brother, Merritt Ashmun Potter was a successful executive with E.C. Atkins saw company of Indianpolis, IN. M.A.P. was listed in an Indianapolis newspaper as one of Indianapolis's "Men of Industry." Uncle Merritt was generous enough to put Harriett's three children through first-class graduate education programs and paid for at least 4 several female Potters to attend Wellesley College. Hazel A. Bartlett, Laura Agnes Potter Perry, Helen Potter, Grace Potter Powell, and maybe even Grace's daughter genealogist Mrs. Virginia "Ginny" Siggia.

After husband Jonathan died, Harriett Potter Barrtlett moved from Thomson, Georgia to Washington DC spend the rest of her life cared for by her daughter, Hazel A. Bartlett. Rumor was she even chased away Hazel's suitor to ensure her daughter had full attention for caregiving her. Hazel was head of Music Cataloging at the Library of Congress in Washington DC. Hence Harriett died in Washington DC. Harriett was buried in Thomson to be next to her husband's grave.

Harriett's Potter, and Shaw families descend from early English colonists. So does all her husband's J.H. Bartlett lines. Harriett was even a "double" Potter through her grandmother born Potter who married a Shaw.
