Hi Sloe Gin,
I don't have a burial date for John Pottinger (c. 1758, East Ilsley), but I do know that John Pottinger's ancestors are indeed from Compton. Also, the Elizabeth Pottinger (c. 25 Mar 1783, East Ilsley) born to John and Hannah (Adnams) Pottinger is not the mother of Melytia aka Letitia (the illegitimate daughter born to an Elizabeth Pottinger in 1801), as Elizabeth Pottinger (c. 1783) died in October 1792 in East Ilsley (Berkshire death record says Elizabeth Pottinger d/o John and Hannah).
After Hannah (Adnams) Pottinger died at a young age leaving John with the small children, he married Mary Coates (Mary Cokes c. 11 Nov 1759 in Buckleberry) in 17 Oct 1792 and they named their first daughter born in 17 Nov 1793 in East Ilsley, Elizabeth Pottinger (that explains the two Elizabeths).
John and Hannah (Adnams) Pottinger had the following children:
Elizabeth (c. 25 Mar 1783, East Ilsley)
William (c. 29 Oct 1784, East Ilsley) -- My GGGGrandfather
Mary (c. 6 Oct 1786, East Ilsley)
Sarah (c. 31 Jul 1789. East Ilsley)
And John Pottinger's (c. 1758) parents were John Pottinger (1720-1786, East Ilsley) and Elizabeth Church (1721-1800) and they married 5 Feb 1755 in East Ilsley and had the following children:
John (1758-)
William (1761-1764)
Furthermore, the 1720-1786 John Pottinger's parents were John Pottinger (b. 1687 Compton - d. Oct 1748 East Ilsley) and Ann Lever (b. 1683 North Moreton - d. 1754 East Ilsley), and they married 03 Aug 1712 in Basildon, Berkshire, and had the following children:
Mary (b. 1713 Compton)
Anne (b. 1714 Compton
Elizabeth (b. 1716 Compton)
Martha (1718 East Ilsley)
John (1720 East Ilsley)
Thomas (1722 East Ilsley)
Joanna (1728 East Ilsley).
So the Compton to East Ilsley linkage is as follows:
Thomas Pottinger,
of Compton
1651-1713
m. Elizabeth

John Pottinger,

1687-1748
