POTTLE.
Though there were Pottles in New
Hampshire for some time before the
Revolution, it seems impossible to con-
meet the Maine Pottles with them.
Joseph Pottle, the subject of this sketch,
was in New Hampshire at least several
years before coming to Maine, which
might indicate that it was his home
State, though tradition in one branch of
the family says that he hailed from Nova
Scotia. Joseph Pottle was born June
26, ITO, and married, April l. 1889,
Sarah Wentworth, who was born June
"a, 1878, and died in Montville, Maine,
Dec. Is, 1865. We are more fortunate
in regard to tracing her ancestry. She
was the daughter of Stephen Wentworth,
inn-keeper of Rochester, N. H., and by
means of the Wentworth genealogy the
direct line may be traced back to the
time of the Norman Conquest. The eld-
est children of Joseph and Sarah Pottle
were born in N. H., but in 1898 the fam
lily appeared las did also one David
Pottle, perhaps brother) in Porter,
Maine, where Joseph was the first
captain of the plantation military COM
pany, also plantation clerk in 1902 and
1903, and assessor in 1903. From Porter
he came to what is now Waldo Co., liv-
ing probably in Belmont, Lincolnville.
and later in Montville, where he died
1909 70 80
