Potter Family in Montague

I have recently purchased a house in Montague Center area that was built in 1865. On the old Montague map that is sold at the Bookmill it has the name Potter on it. From what I can tell in reading the History of Montague there were 3 Potters that went to the fight in the Civil War. From what I could tell 2 returned.
Does anyone have any information on this family and small farm? It is on Greenfield Rd. near Cold Brook. Also on the map (I think it is a reprint from an old atlas) there is a small cemetery. I have looked for it and have not found it partially because I didn't want to trespass on private property. It also is between Greenfield Rd. and Connecticut River, near Cold Brook. Does any one have any information on it?
