Note for: David Potts, May 1700 - 25 May 1768 Index

Note:   "David Potts was born about 1700 in Germantown, Philadelphia Co.,Pennsylvania. He died on May 1, 1768 in Loudoun Co., Virginia. The PottsFamily in American, 1901, T. M. Potts page 226 - was born about the year1700, as nearly as can be e stimated. He was without doubt the son ofJonas and Mary Potts, of Philadelphia
    County, Pennsylvania, though no record of birth has been found. All thetraditions and statements of aged members of differenet lines of thefamily point to that conclusion. These allegations, summed up, may beincluded in the following . The Potts family came to Pennsylvania fromWales - some allege, with William Penn. They lived at or aboutPottsgrove, where their ancestor owned a plantation to which theViriginia descendants were heirs. (Note: Jonas Potts owned and occupied afarm in Gilberts Manor, which adjoined Pottsgrove. It is not certain thathe ever secured a full title to this land, and no deed of conveyance fromhim or his legal representatives has been found.
    Such a tradition might easily grow from such a foundation). Onetradition, in a collateral line, alleges that Jonah or Jonas Potts cameto Pennsylvania from Wales. Another tradition allege s that the Potts'were driven from Wales by reason of religious oppression."

In 1684 they obtained a grant of one hundred acres of land,which was supposed to be laid out in Philadelphia County, but asubsiquent resurvey showed it to be in Chester County."
