History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 763. [Nicholas County] [Carlisle City and Precinct] WALTER S. POTTS, farmer, P. O. Carlisle, was born March 9, 1840, upon the old homestead, and shared the fate of the older members of the family in educational advantages. He engaged in farming with his father until his marriage, which occurred Feb. 20, 1866, to Miss Mary A. Herndon, daughter of Dr. J. C. Herndon (see hist.). After his marriage he immediately settled upon the farm which is his present home, and a part of the land settled by his grandfather upon coming to this county at a very early date, and where he endured all the trials of early pioneer life, in the dense cane brake and heavy timber. Our subject, since removing to his farm has carried on a general farm life in connection with extensive trading through the Southern States. Like the other members of the family he enjoys the profoundest respect and esteem of the citizens of the community in which he lives. He and wife are members of the Christian Church at Carlisle.
