My 5th great grandfather was Judge William Potter, a supporter and later detractor of Jemima Wilkinson. Are there any books about Wilkinson that you can recommend? I look forward to visiting Yates County someday. This is a fascinating story.

Thanks for sharing this history! I believe my ancestors may have been part of the founding of Jerusalem and was looking for more information on the group and Jemima Wilkinson. This is a great help!

One of my ancestors was a cousin of The Public Universal Friend.
