If the biography says, "Samuel Pottenger fought with the KY Militia in the Indian Wars" and doesn't actually say the French and Indian War, it may refer to the U.S. government's war with the Indians in the Northwest Territory in the late 1780s and early 1790s. Kentucky militia fought in that war. For a brief summary of the war, see: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Indian_War> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Indian_War The National Archives has muster rolls of regular army and volunteer organizations that fought in that war. See http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/094.html (Scroll down to 94.2.2) There also was a Samuel Pottinger from Maryland who was in Kentucky during the Revolution as part of Captain James Harrod's company. They fought Indians, so perhaps that's what the biography means. Good luck!
