| Notes |
- Daughter of Johannes Wilhelm 'William' Pott and Gerdraut Mey 'Gertrude' Catron.
The passage of time had blurred the ancestry of Catherine Bott, wife of Casper Schell, and in the early 1900s when family research was begun on the Schell family of North Carolina, the only knowledge regarding her parents were the children's baptismal records that showed Catherine's name had been Bott. This caused some confusion and errors in early family trees regarding her parents. Then the will of William Pott (Johan Wilhelmus Pott) was found to contain a reference to Catherine. It was not uncommon for early Germans to mix their Bs and Ps and this may explain why Catherine indicated on her children's birth records that her maiden name was Bott rather than Pott.
The will of William Pott of Rockland, Berks County, Pennsylvania lists his daughter Catherine, wife of Casper Shell. The will is dated October 1781 and proved December 1781 - ABSTRACT OF WILL: POTT, WILLIAM, Rockland. October 18, 1781 - December 17, 1781. B- 22.

Exrs: son John and friend Daniel LEVAN of Oley. Wit: Jacob KEIM and Peter BLAESER.
