Mother*Eleanora Anne Hinds1 b. 1788, d. 15 Aug 1874
Birth*10 July 1823Robert Potterton was born on 10 July 1823 in County Meath, Ireland,2 
Baptism and was baptized in Athboy, County Meath.2 
Education*Robert was educated at Bannow Grammar School in County Wexford. He matriculated to Trinity College in Dublin at the age of nineteen, in May of 1842, but did not graduate BA until Spring of 1853. Like his brother Frederic, he probably worked his way through Trinity by teaching at Bannow which, according to the Joyce source, would account for his long period as an undergraduate.2 
Occupation*1854Immediately after his graduation, Robert became a school inspector and was in temporary charge at Trim, County Meath, in 1854. Later that same year, he was briefly appointed District Inspector in Dunmanway, County Cork.2 
Marriage*22 August 1855He married Mary Kelly Waldron, daughter of Hubert Kelly Waldron, on 22 August 1855 in St. Mary's Church, Jervis Street, Dublin.3,4,2 
Marriage Settlement*Mary's dowry was a farm, two hundred and sixty eight English acres at Annaduff, County Leitrim.2 
No Issue*Robert and Mary (Waldron) Potterton had no children.3,2 
Education Robert was studious by nature and, after his marriage, with his brother Frederic, he studied law at Trinity and graduated with a doctorate in 1864. He was also of a literary bent and wrote rhymes and would boast that "given a dictionary and a grammar, he could write a letter in any language". His Inspector’s Reports were sometimes over-the-top elaborate, "I may just observe that in no instance did the intimation of official displeasure exceed a mere reprimand for the past and admonition for the future."2 
Occupation1873 He was District Inspector in Loughrea in County Galway, Sligo in County Sligo, Tipperary in County Tipperary, Ennis in County Clare, Limerick in County Limerick and finally, from 1873, in Armagh, County Armagh.2 
Illness*7 March 1880Robert's over-achieving brain became mentally ill over time. According to Joyce, Robert's mental decline began to show in 1871 when he was only forty-eight. That year, he was absent for illness for seven months from his post as District Inspector in Limerick. Then, from 1874 until 1876, when he became District Inspector in Armagh, he was absent altogether. Further evidence that he may have had problems was provided by a deed of 1877. It recorded that his brother, William, acting as a trustee of Robert and Mary’s marriage settlement, took over the lease of the farm at Annaduff. In April 1880, Robert was listed on a deed as "of Armagh", although by that time he was actually in a mental hospital in Dublin. His wife Mary, on 7 March 1880, had had him committed to Hampstead, Drumcondra, a private mental hospital in the Dublin suburb, while she took up residence nearby at Alpine Lodge, Glasnevin. Robert, aged fifty-seven at the time, remained at Hampstead until his death twenty-one years later.2 
Death*13 March 1901He died of acute bronchitis on 13 March 1901 at Hampstead, Drumcondra, at age 77.2,1,4

Deed Memorial*29 April 1814 On 29 April 1814, Thomas Potterton of Ballaghtalion, County Meath, Esq. and his wife Eleanora Anne Potterton, otherwise Hinds, of the first part, Sarah (Gerrard) Hinds of Trim, County Meath, widow and mother of Eleanora Anne, Martha Hinds of Trim, spinster, daughter of Sarah, and John Hinds of the City of Dublin, gentleman and only son of Sarah of Trim of the second part, Anne (Gerrard) Gibney of Eccles Street in the City of Dublin, widow, John Small of Rutland Square in the City of Dublin, Esq. and Catherine (Gerrard) Small, his wife, and Rebecca (Gerrard) Hinds, widow of the third part, the Reverend Mungo Henry Waller of Allenstown in the County of Meath, clerk of the fourth part, and Thomas Hinds of Newtown in County Kildare, Esq. of the fifth part, made a Memorial of an indentured deed agreement. The deed began with a review of four pertinent events: William Gerrard's 1788 will and subsequent 1790 probate, the death of Matthew Hinds, husband of William's daughter Sarah (Gerrard) Hinds, before or in 1809, and the 1813 marriage settlement agreement for Thomas Potterton and Eleanora Anne Potterton.

Reciting that William Gerrard of Dormstown, County Meath, gentleman, deceased, made his will dated 24 December 1788 and thereby, amongst bequests to his other daughters, bequeathed unto the Reverend Singleton Harpur, Robert Waller and James Gibney, his trustees, an amount of £1200 in trust that they and his survivors and the executors and administrators of such survivors, should place out the same at interest and permit his daughter Sarah Hinds to receive the yearly interest for her separate use. And further, that after the death of his daughter Sarah, the trustees, their executors and administrators, should transfer the £1200 to such of Sarah's children as should be then living, and that by her will she should approve and appoint his daughters Rebecca Hinds, Elizabeth, Anne and Catherine Gerrard executors. Reciting further that William Gerrard died without altering his will and that it was proved in the Court of Prerogative Probate granted to Elizabeth Gerrard, Catherine Gerrard, since married to John Small, and Anne Gibney, three of the executors named and that the £1200 bequeathed by the will to Sarah was secured by the bond of Robert Waller, deceased, then of Ministown in the County of Meath, Esq. bearing date of 22 February 1790 with an attorney's warrant for confession of judgment in the final sum of £2400 conditioned for payment of the principal sum of £1200 under the will of William Gerrard upon which Anne Gibney, Rebecca Hinds, John Small and Catherine his wife did, around 1809, obtain a judgment in the Court of Common Pleas against Robert Waller stating that Matthew Hinds, husband of Sarah, was since dead leaving his widow Sarah and three children, namely Eleanora Anne, Martha and John Hinds, all of whom had attained their respective ages of 21 years. Next the deed explained that, by an indented deed of four parts dated 26 August 1813 and made between Thomas Potterton, Anna Maria Donnelly and Hester Rynd of the first part, Sarah Hinds of the second part, Eleanora Anne, then Hinds, of the third part, and Henry Potterton, gentleman, and Rebecca Hinds of the fourth part, the deed recited that a marriage was intended shortly to be had between Thomas Potterton and Eleanora Anne Hinds, and reciting that £1200 was held in trust for Sarah, mother of Eleanora Anne, and that on the result of the marriage being accomplished, Sarah had agreed that £600 of the £1200 should be payable to Thomas Potterton immediately after Sarah's death; then the agreement witnessed that in consideration of the intended marriage and the £600, Thomas made a provision for Eleanora in case she should outlive him and her issue. The indenture further witnessed a deed in which Sarah, in consideration of the intended marriage, had made provisions for Eleanora Anne and did give, grant and appoint the £600, being one-half of the £1200, to Eleanora Anne, her executors, administrators and assigns to be payable to Eleanora Anne, her executors, administrators or assigns immediately after the death her mother, Sarah. Then it was witnessed that the marriage had taken effect and that Thomas Potterton, by virtue of his marriage settlement deed, was entitled to the £600 upon Sarah's decease and that Thomas desired to sell the £600 and had applied to Reverend Mungo Henry Waller who had agreed to the purchase. Thomas had agreed to accept £400, which Mungo had agreed to pay to him. The other parties to the deed had agreed to ratify and confirm the purchase and to relinquish to Mungo all their right, title and claim in default of an appointment by Sarah, or in case of the decease of any or all of her children in her lifetime, or in case Sarah should execute her power of appointment so as to otherwise disappoint Thomas and Eleanora Anne or their issue of the £600 or of any part thereof. The indenture witnessed that, upon execution of the agreement and in consideration of the £400 paid by Mungo to Thomas Potterton, and of £1 apiece paid to Eleanora Anne Potterton, Sarah (Gerrard) Hinds, Martha Hinds, John Hinds, Rebecca (Gerrard) Hinds, John and Catherine (Gerrard) Small and Anne (Gerrard) Gibney, Thomas and Eleanora Potterton, Sarah, Martha and John Hinds, did grant, bargain and assign, and Rebecca Hinds, John and Catherine Small, and Anne Gibney confirmed unto Mungo H. Waller, his executors, administrators and assigns, the principal sum of £600, and reciting that by deed and Memorial, Rebecca Hinds, John and Catherine Small and Anne Gibney did assign to Thomas Hinds as trustee, his executors, administrators and assigns, a judgment. It was thereby declared that the £600 was invested with Thomas Hinds in trust as to £600 and the interest thereof from the death of Sarah Hinds for Mungo H. Waller and the interest due and to grow due on the fact of the judgment in trust for Sarah Hinds, her executors, administrators and assigns for life. And after her decease, as to the monies secured by the judgment above, £600 for the person or persons whom Sarah should appoint. The deed and Memorial was signed and witnessed by each of the parties involved on various dates, and was registered on 4 May 1814.5

Father*John Potterton1 d. 25 Mar 1738
Name-DescriptiveThe descriptive name used by the author of Potterton People and Places to clarify the identification of this Thomas Potterton, and to place him correctly within the Potterton family, was Thomas Potterton II.1 
Birth*1701According to Potterton family tradition, Thomas was believed to have been born about 1701 in County Meath, Ireland. Questions arose, though, when a deed dated 1731 described Thomas as the only son of John, "then aged about 19." If Thomas was only 19 in 1731, he would have been born about 1712. The Potterton People author believed the 1712 date was incorrect as it did not align well with other known dates.1 
Marriage*He married first ______ Wilson of Crookstown, County Kildare.1 
Marriage*1735He married second Sarah Lamb in 1735 in St. Werburgh's, Dublin.1 
(Son) Probate5 April 1738His father's will, naming his wife Ellinor, son Thomas, and daughters Elizabeth and Abigail, was proved on 5 April 1738.1 
Inheritance*Upon his father's death, Thomas inherited the leased properties of Rathcormick, County Meath.1 
Will*22 September 1756Thomas Potterton II wrote his will dated 22 September 1756. It recorded his sons as Henry I, to whom he bequeathed Moyrath, John II, to whom he bequeathed Rathcormick, Thomas III, to whom he bequeathed Ballaghtalion, and Mark, to whom he bequeathed Pagetstown and Hardrestown. His will also identified his daughter Sarah, and his sisters Abigail Wilson and Elizabeth Walker.1
