I should add, however, that I was told about a year ago that Mrs. Neff has supposedly found even more poopy papers that her husband had stored in their garage before his death. I believe that she turned them over to David Vancil, the retired archivist at Indiana State University. I have heard nothing further on the matter, and I cannot say for certain that the information is correct.

As for the Potter brothers, some of the best researchers I know have attempted to verify that they did indeed exist - to no avail. There is a former member of the Surratt Society that I discovered on a genealogy blog having ancestors named Potter who immigrated between Canada and New York and perhaps Vermont. I wish he would shed some light on his Potters and any Civil War ties. Those three areas are very intriguing to me during 1864 and early-1865.

The best operatives are the ones you never heard of, therefore the potters were indeed the best. They were so good, they never heard of each other!
