Pvt Charles Potter died April 9, 1778 at Valley Forge encampment. Did the military then create "death records"? I found his death noted on a Payroll report, but wondered if there was another type record.

I think it's awesome that you were able to find his death date on the payroll! Consider yourself very lucky (blessed). I do not think you'll find anything more definitive as to his death. However, once the libraries open again, you might find somewhat more about his military service by flollowing suggestions at https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Revolutionary_War_Service_Records#Revolutionary_War_Rolls
There is a NARA pamphlet that explains all their holdings related to the Revolutionary War - you can download that pamphlet at http://www.fold3.com/pdf/M246.pdf
Sorry i'm not of any more help!
