Sarah P. or Serophina Lord / Nathan or Nathaniel Lord
The descendents of Hari Lord are extensively documented at several sites
(see Sources). My "Lord" research has been primarily limited to
establishing a link between Sarah P. or Serophina
Lord (wife to Willis Potter) and the Hari Lord descendents line
through Nathan or Nathaniel Lord, Sarah's
great-grandfather. I have otherwise not done any original research
on the Hari Lord descendents. Nor do I expect to do so.
While the preponderance of evidence so far suggests that this Nathan
or Nathaniel Lord is the
same as the Nathaniel (Nathan) Lord (b. 17 Feb 1744/45) of the Hari Lord descendents line, it should be
noted that my family source record [Francine Toms Potter] does not indicate Nathan or
Nathaniel Lord's parent's names. There are discrepancies in the
source records as to his
birth place; the independent sources so far investigated (which have his birth place as Buxton,
York, ME, in agreement with the family source) do not indicate his parents. Only one other source (independent from the
family source) indicates his wife as Hannah Fields. While unlikely, it is
therefore possible that there were two Nathaniel or Nathan Lord's born
on the same date in York County, Maine; or that the various sources are
confusing two different individuals born about the same time.
There is therefore some weakness
at this point in proving the line. However, it seems likely that Sarah P.
or Serophina Lord is descended from Hari Lord, just not necessarily in
the line given here.
