Regarding the probate documents about Temperance Lyon, widow of James Poteat: I believe the James Poteet you are thinking about is James Poteet, b.c. 1745, Baltimore County, son of James and Elizabeth Crabtree Poteet, who was said to have married Jean Patton. James died c. 1825, Buncombe County, NC.
Temperance Lyon married James Poteat, b.c. 1770, in Caswell County, NC, on 11 November, 1801. This is the young man who died in 1805, Caswell County, and his probate proceedings grant support to his widow, Temperance Poteat. (Temperance was the daughter of Robert Lyon and his second wife, Rebecca Unknown.) She married James McClain later in 1806 and they eventually moved to Henry County, TN, where she died in 1841.
