Samuel Forrest Pottinger's manuscript which was unpublished during his lifetime, and now at the Filson Club was based on fraud. He got taken by researchers he hired in England that invented non-existant records, and falsified others. John Pottenger's correct ancestry is given in an article that appeared in *The American Genelogist* 68 (July 1993):139-145 that exposes the fraud.
