Diary entry in London.2

From the diaries of Mr Justice Robert Day of Kerry :-
"Mrs Day and I devote the forenoon to visiting Archdeacon Pott at Kensington, the Pattersons and poor Maria Gribble who I fear is in a very critical health; & the Evening to a very agreeable dinner party at Henry Grattons, 22 Bentinck St.- The Pott family are  gone to Exeter, of which Diocese he is Chancellor, and I learn at the house that Mr. Salmon, married to the Archdeacon's and my niece (Sam Pott's daughter) and who returned last winter with a shattered constitution from India, has just died"

Research Note :-
Archdeacon Pott was Joseph Holden Pott, 1759-1847, the son of Percivall Pott the surgeon, and he was appointed Canon and Chancellor of the diocese of Exeter in 1826. He never married.
Sam Pott was in fact Samuel Potts who married Elizabeth Pott the daughter of Percivall Pott the surgeon. Therefore he was the brother-in-law of the Archdeacon, Joseph Holden Pott.
As the first Mrs Day, Mary Day née Potts, was not the daughter of the surgeon or the sister of the Archdeacon, this diary entry implies that she was the sister of Samuel Potts.
