Tilman Potter was the son of Ephraim Potter. He married Elizabeth Cantrell, daughter of Abraham Cantrell and Malissa Lucy Watson. Tilman, with his wife Elizabeth, her brother Watson, and her half brothers Abraham and Richard Cantrell, all moved from South Carolina to Tennessee in the early 1800's and settled on Sink Creek in Warren County (now DeKalb County), Tennessee. They lived in White and Warren Counties and settled at Seven Springs with the Cantrell family where they raised their twelve children born between 1810 to 1834.
Tilman's wife Elizabeth died in 1836 and was buried in what became known as the Tilman Potter Cemetery in DeKalb Co. Tennessee. Tilman Potter married Hannah Watkins Webb, a widow with seven children, in 1837 and they had two more children together. Hannah was the daughter of Daniel Watkins and Elizabeth Byars.
The tiny Tilman Potter Cemetery, probably only consisting of about eight to ten graves, was plowed over about 1910. Known to have been buried there were Tilman Potter and his wife Elizabeth Cantrell Potter.
