"John POTTS was born about 1658 in Llangirrig, Montgomeryshire, Wales. Chapter XI - The Orphan Children of John Potts, of Wales. The Potts Family in Great Britain and America - 1901 - Thomas Maxwell Potts page 250

In the year 1896, several orphans, children of John Potts, deceased, and late of Wales, were sent over to the care of Friends in Pennsylvania. It seems very probable that they were passengers in the good ship " William Galley," (Note: See page 234, ente) which brought so many Friends from the Welsh Counties of Radnor and Montgomery, and in which Thomas Potts, Junior, (Colebrookdatle), came a passenger to Pennsylvania. The JOHN POTTS is believed to be identical with John Potts, the persecuted Quaker of Llangirrig, Montgomeryshire, in Wales, of whom some account is given on pages 67 and 68, in this work. He was a brother
of Thomas Potts, (Miller), of Bristol Township, Philadelphia County.

Neither the names nor the number of all these children are given in any record so far discovered. It is, however, quite certain that John Potts and Mary Potts were two of these orphan children. The Friends of Philadelphia Monthly Meeting had the care of these children, and the Meeting minutes contain several references to them, of
which the following are copies:

"5 mo. 26, 1699. Whereas John Austin proposed to this meeting that seveal Children of John Potts of Wales, came here last year, their passage being paid, this meeting desires Edward Shippen and Anthony Morris to Speak with the persons concerned, and see for convenient places in order that the Children be bound out apprentices by the next Orphans Court.

1 mo. 29, 1700. John Kinsey reports that there are two Orphans, Children of One John Potts to be put out, Thomas Potts also desiring (be their uncle) that this meeting would appoint some friends, to put them out to friends. John Kinsey & Anthony Morris are desired to see it done.

2 mo. 26, 1700. John Kinsey & Anthony Morris are desired to continue their care in putting out John Potts's Children.

11 mo. 30, 1701. Isaac Shoemaker laying before this meeting,That a friend's Child named Mary Potts having been with him more than two years, the time agreed is near out, and she wants learning. In order therefore that she may have what learning is suitable, he desires to have her bound with him for some longer time. Whereupon Samuel Carpenter & John Kinsey are desired to take care therein, making report thereof to the next monthly meeting.

12 mo. 27, 1702. John Kinsey & John Parsons are desired to use their endeavour to get Thomas (John) Potts's (NOTE: Mr. William John Potts examined these records very carefully, and was fully convinced that the name "Thomas" was a clerical error, written in mistake by the Clerk or transcriber, Instead of "John.") Child from the place where it is, upon as easy Terms as they can, in order to have it placed with a friend.

1 mo. 27, 1702. John Kinsey & John Parsons are continued to take care concerning the Child of Thomas (John) Potts, (See Note above) decease, to place it out with some honest friend. It being thought that William Rutledge's may be a fit place for her.

2 mo. 24, 1702. John Parsons reporting that the persons with whom the Child of Thomas (John) Potts, (See Note Above) is not willing to part with it. He and John Kinsey are desired so try a little further what they can do therein.

1 mo. 26, 1703. John Austin lays before this Meeting that John Potts, who was bound aprentice to him to learn the Carpenter's Trade, doth not like it, but had rather have some other emplyment, Therefore Anthony Morris (who was concerned in the binding of him) and William Hudson are desired to do what is needful in the matter,
and give an account therof to the next Monthly Meeting.

1 mo. 25, 1708. John Potts, who was an Orphan bound apprentice to John Autin by approbation of this Monthly Meeting, Complains that he hath Served out his apprenticeship, and his mistress, will not discharge him, and desires assistance. In order thereto this meeting appoints Edward Shippen, Nathan Stanbury & David Lloyd to enquire into the matter and if they find he hath severed out his time, that then they Endeavour to see him discharged, and Report their proceedings to the next Monthly Meeting.

2 mo. 29, 1708. Report they cannot understand that he hath served out his time, therefore could not discharge him.

These records make it quite certain that John Potts and Mary Potts were two of these orphan children. It is also evident that another orphan daughter was under the care of some family who were not members of the Friends meeting. In another Chapter, entitled "Kinship of the Potts' of Pennsylvania," it will be suggested who the other children are thought to be."

"On 8 mo. 15, 1719, a double wedding took place at the house of Jonas Potts, at which two of his daughters were married. In one of the Certificates, Jonas Potts is said to be of Gilberts Manor, and in the other, of Perqueoman Creek. It is said that after the festivities of this double wedding, the newly married young couples left for their respective homes on horseback, each bride mounted behind her husband."

"There has been considerable talk in Smyrna since the death of Col. George W. Cummins, over his last will. Mr. Cummins owned eight nice farms besides considerable town property. Upon his death his will disclosed the fact that he had left it all to his wife, his two daughters and a nephew. To his wife he bequeathed the home farm and stock in fee simple and his town property; to each of his daughters he left three farms for their life time with a floating indebtedness of about $25,000 and to his nephew, a son of Mr. A. G. Cummins, a farm. His sons Walter and George he has cut entirely off."

"Thomas POTT was born about 1590 in Llangirrig, Montgomeryshire, Wales. Thomas Pott the eldest of the family of Llangirrig so far as we now know, was evidently an aged man at the making of his will in 1654, as his children were then all married and had children of their own, and as he speaks of some of his grand-children as unmarried it is fair to suppose that some of them were grown up and of marriageable age at that time. He calls himself yeoman which, from the English usage of the word, would indicate that he was a landowner. He was a resident of the Parish of Llangirrig, in Montgomeryshire, above described. His will was made in 1654, and proven in 1661, but as the inventory of his personal effects was filed in 1658 he probably died in that year. ( His will is on file in the Consistory Court at Bangor. It is much eaten away by the decay of the paper from age and damp.)
Some if not all the family became members of the Society of Friends. There probably was a Friends Meeting established in this vicinity, but no records are known to be in existence at this day. It is well-known that many Friends came to Pennsylvania from that section of Waltes in the latter part of the seventeenth century, and they may have carried such records as they had with them, as was sometimes done where the whole membership removed in a body. These devoted people suffered persecution in common with those of other sections."

# Note:

Capt. Thomas Powell was engaged in the sack and rum trade. On one of his trips from the Barbadoes, West Indies, to New York and Halifax in 1653, he stopped at Huntington Harbor, Long Island, to visit his friend, Capt. Thomas Matthews (formerly of London), who was running a boat between Huntington and Flushing, N. Y., carrying goods.

Capt. Thomas Matthews was also a "Cordwainer" (shoemaker); it is presumed that Capt. Thomas Powell's wife had died, so he apprenticed his son, Thomas (who was at the time 12 years of age), to Capt. Thomas Matthews.

A SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF THOMAS POWELL, 1. Bom August, 164 1; Died December 28, 172 1.

In the whirligig of time, it is difficult to picture our pioneer settlers. They did not sit for paintings, and generally were too busy getting a living from the soil to do much writing.

TI-ER TURMOIL OF THE CROMWELL WARS, AND THE UP-SETS OF THE. STUARTS WERE ALL BASED ON RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES.

Many of those interested in religious questions wrote, of course, on their beliefs.

I t was at this time that GEORGE FOX launched Quakerism, which Thomas
Powell took up, and followed all his life.

The Court Records of Huntington, Long Island, N. Y., next introduced THOMAS POWELL No. I to our notice as follows:

AT A COURT HELD IN HUNTINGTON JULY 29,1662.

Thomas Matthews, plaintiff, against Joanna Wood, widow and Administratrix to Jonas Wood.

An action of debt for fifty-four pounds 2 shillings and two pence. Mr. John Simmons of Hempstead, appeared in the case as attorney for Joanna Wood.

After relating the circumstances of the case Thomas Powell gave testimony in writing that "What was in my Master's book--that particular about Master's Good Wood and Good Higbie touching the six pipes of wine and three hhds of rum,--when it was writ my Master read it to him or them and asked if it was well, and one of them answered it was. This was at Oysterbay in Daniel Whitehead's store.

~1~ LivinF with my Master almost nine years I never knew my Master's books question in the least."

J. Matthews produced his books in Court and the case was decided in his favor.

JAMES CHICHESTER, RICHARD WILLIAMS, THOMAS JONES, SAMUEL TITUS, Jurymen.

Thomas Matthews sometimes called Captain Matthews was at Flushing, L. I., in 1649, trading with John Bowne delivering goods, &c. In 1659 he was bringing goods in partnership with Jonas Wood and Edward Higbie.

He died December 7, 1686.

In 1667 Thomas Powell was Constable, John Todd, John Rogers Overseers, for Huntington, L. 1.

Under the Duke's Laws, promulgated when the English took possession in 1865, 8 Overseers were to be chosen the first year, to hold office 2 years, & 4 to be elected every two years afterwards, and a Constable was to be elected every year out of the Overseers of the previous year.

The Constable and Overseers managed the Town affairs, and had power to make orders & rules concerning fences, highways and similar matters. Constables were to attend Courts, and they had power to arrest, those who were overtaken with strong drink, or found swearing, or Sabbath breaking, Vagrant night walkers, provided taken in sight of Constable, or proven information from others or if in beer or disorderly places.

"Every Constable shall have a Staff six feet long with the Kings anus on it, as a badge of his authority."
The Town Court had Jurisdiction of assault, slander, and disorderly conduct generally. One offense was defined "as giving false news and lying about another." The penalty was a fine of 40 shilling if Paid" if not paid to sit in the stock or be whipped 40 strokes and give satisfaction.

Thomas Powell was then 26 years old.

Huntington Records show that Thomas Powell was frequently elected to fill important positions in the Township--the first of which appears to have been in 1663, when at the age of 22 he was made Recorder, this office he held most of the time for about 20 years.

In 1666 Thomas Powell, John James, James Chichester, Ebenezer Platt, Isaac Platt, Thomas Platt, John Bailey & Jonas Wood; were Trustees of the Freeholders of the Town of Huntington, and their successors. and the Patent was issued in their names, on behalf of the Company.

In 1684 T. Powell and one of the others were sent to Gov. Nichols, to obtain a patent from him. These patents were both at Huntington a few years since, probably are there still.

The court consisted of a Justice of the Peace (or in his absence) Constable and two Overseers.

Thomas Powell was Constable in 1667, 1668, 1669, had to carry a club four feet long. Appointed Surveyor 1670, to lay out land in the East Riding. Overseer 1672, 1680 &c &c.

1686 Chosen Committee Man to go to Southampton to act with others on behalf of the Town.

1666 Attorney for Thomas Matthews in the sale of land in Oysterbay, Joseph Ludlam, Purchaser.

The following is on record at Huntington 1670. Whereas, Henry Whitson of Huntington, deceased in the year 1669, and after the will was proved according to law, the estate being divided by order and consent of the widow of Henry, and Thomas Whitson son of deceased, and 2d Thomas Whitson being under age,--he with the consent of his Grandfather Foster and the rest of his friends have thought good to make choice of Thomas Powell of Huntington to be his Trustee and Guardian of him the said Thomas Whitson, for the care and supervision of the Estate of him the said Thomas Whitson until he accomplish the age of one and twenty years, during which time the aforesaid, Thomas Whitson doth promise not to bargain, sell or alienate any of his Estate without the leave and consent of his said Guardian, but in all things expedient be subject to his advice and counsel, as witness my hand THOMAS WHITSON.

In 1663, we find THOMAS POWELL was serving as Recorder and Purchasing Agent. A deed dated December 8th, 1663, gave him title to a piece of land.
The Town Court had Jurisdiction of assault, slander, and disorderly conduct generally. One offense was defined "as giving false news and lying about another." The penalty was a fine of 40 shilling if Paid" if not paid to sit in the stock or be whipped 40 strokes and give satisfaction.

In 1663, we find THOMAS POWELL was serving as Recorder and Purchasing Agent. A deed dated December 8th, 1663, gave him title to a piece of land.
In 1665 he was still Recroder--A Recorder's ftmctions must have been similar to those of Town Clerk.

In 1667 THOMAS POWELL, served as Constable.

In 1667 there are records of him being possessed of considerable real estate.

In 1670, when he was 29 years of age, THOMAS POWELL 1, was chosen to lay out the lands of the town to purchasers.

In 1678 the Council ordered the Constable and Overseers of Huntington to distrain for Church and Ministers Rates, but the order does not appear to have been attended to for several years. Thomas Powell was Overseer in 168 1. Same year we find charged against him for Ministers Rates, the following sums, viz:

1676. 1. 15. 00. 1679. 1. 10. 09. 1677. 1. 13. 03. 1680. 1. 02. 05. 1678. 1. 09. 06. 1681. 10 04. 11. Altogether L8. 15. 10. THOMAS POWELL, being a devout Quaker, he reftised to pay Church taxes, which under the British law was compulsory for the support of the Church of England.

He consistently reftised to pay them and he was ordered by a Writ from the King to appear at Court at Riverhead, to show cause, why they should not be taken from him by force.

There does not appear to be any record of a settlement of the claim in any manner, and is SUPPOSED THAT HE WAS SO LIKED BY HIS NEIGHBORS AND ASSOCIATES, THAT THE AUTHORITIES LET THE CASE DROP.

In 1682, he refused TO SERVE LONGER AS CONSTABLE, BECAUSE, IT WAS NECESSARY TO TAKE AN OATH, WHICH THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OPPOSED THEN, AS T14EY DO TODAY.

Meantime Thomas Powell sold his property in Huntington and bought a large tract of wilderness, of the Marsapaque Indians, called it Bethpage, took possession in 1688, built a house for his eldest son, Thomas.

Thomas Powell got his deed from the Indians in 1695, and has been said sold one third to T. Whitson in 1700. Thomas Powell purchased a second plot of the Indians in 1699. The Deeds are both Recorded at Jamaica.

The following is a copy of the boundaries of the two purchases, with the names and marks of Indians who made the sale.

The court consisted of a Justice of the Peace (or in his absence) Constable and two Overseers.

Thomas Powell was Constable in 1667, 1668, 1669, had to carry a club four feet long. Appointed Surveyor 1670, to lay out land in the East Riding. Overseer 1672, 1680 &c &c.

1686 Chosen Committee Man to go to Southampton to act with others on behalf of the Town.

1666 Attorney for Thomas Matthews in the sale of land in Oysterbay, Joseph Ludlam, Purchaser.

The following is on record at Huntington 1670. Whereas, Henry Whitson of Huntington, deceased in the year 1669, and after the will was proved according to law, the estate being divided by order and consent of the widow of Henry, and Thomas Whitson son of deceased, and 2d Thomas Whitson being under age,--he with the consent of his Grandfather Foster and the rest of his friends have thought good to make choice of Thomas Powell of Huntington to be his Trustee and Guardian of him the said Thomas Whitson, for the care and supervision of the Estate of him the said Thomas Whitson until he accomplish the age of one and twenty years, during which time the aforesaid, Thomas Whitson doth promise not to bargain, sell or alienate any of his Estate without the leave and consent of his said Guardian, but in all things expedient be subject to his advice and counsel, as witness my hand THOMAS WHITSON.

In 1663, we find THOMAS POWELL was serving as Recorder and Purchasing Agent. A deed dated December 8th, 1663, gave him title to a piece of land.
In 1665 he was still Recroder--A Recorder's ftmctions must have been similar to those of Town Clerk.

In 1667 THOMAS POWELL, served as Constable.

In 1667 there are records of him being possessed of considerable real estate.

In 1670, when he was 29 years of age, THOMAS POWELL 1, was chosen to lay out the lands of the town to purchasers.

In 1678 the Council ordered the Constable and Overseers of Huntington to distrain for Church and Ministers Rates, but the order does not appear to have been attended to for several years. Thomas Powell was Overseer in 168 1. Same year we find charged against him for Ministers Rates, the following sums, viz:

1676. 1. 15. 00. 1679. 1. 10. 09. 1677. 1. 13. 03. 1680. 1. 02. 05. 1678. 1. 09. 06. 1681. 10 04. 11. Altogether L8. 15. 10. THOMAS POWELL, being a devout Quaker, he reftised to pay Church taxes, which under the British law was compulsory for the support of the Church of England.

He consistently reftised to pay them and he was ordered by a Writ from the King to appear at Court at Riverhead, to show cause, why they should not be taken from him by force.

There does not appear to be any record of a settlement of the claim in any manner, and is SUPPOSED THAT HE WAS SO LIKED BY HIS NEIGHBORS AND ASSOCIATES, THAT THE AUTHORITIES LET THE CASE DROP.

In 1682, he refused TO SERVE LONGER AS CONSTABLE, BECAUSE, IT WAS NECESSARY TO TAKE AN OATH, WHICH THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OPPOSED THEN, AS T14EY DO TODAY.

Meantime Thomas Powell sold his property in Huntington and bought a large tract of wilderness, of the Marsapaque Indians, called it Bethpage, took possession in 1688, built a house for his eldest son, Thomas.

Thomas Powell got his deed from the Indians in 1695, and has been said sold one third to T. Whitson in 1700. Thomas Powell purchased a second plot of the Indians in 1699. The Deeds are both Recorded at Jamaica.

The following is a copy of the boundaries of the two purchases, with the names and marks of Indians who made the sale.

1695. We Marinus, Sowamicus, Wm. Choppy, and others for cc 140, sold to Thomas Powell Sen., land Beginning at the west Comer, at a dirty hole upon the brushy
plains near Mannetto hill, from thence up a hollow the south side of Mannetto hill and out of that hill across the hills eastward pretty near Huntington South line to the bushy plains on the east side of the hills, and so along the east side of the hollow that goes to the east branch of Marsepequa the head of the swamp being the South east Comer, and from thence along Win. Frosts line until we come to West Neck northeast bounder belonging to Oysterbay, and from the sd north east bounder of West Neck, so to run on the west side of the hollow that comes from the west branch of Marsepequa swamp so far as there is any trees;-from thence to the aforesaid hole of dirt and water near Mannetto hill called by the Indians Moscopas.

1. Edward II, Plantagenet king of England (1307-1327), whose incompetence and distaste for government finally led to his deposition and murder. Edward was the fourth son of King Edward I and his first wife, Eleanor of Castile. The deaths of his older brothers made the infant prince heir to the throne; in 1301 he was proclaimed prince of Wales, the first heir apparent in English history to bear that title. The prince was idle and frivolous, with no liking for military campaigning or affairs of state.Believing that the prince's close friend Piers Gaveston, a Gascon knight, was a bad influence on the prince, Edward I banished Gaveston. On his father's death, however, Edward II recalled his favorite homosexual lover Piers Gaveston from exile, abandoned the campaign against Robert Bruce, and devoted himself to frivolity.Gaveston incurred the opposition of the powerful English barony. The nobles were particularly angered in 1308, when Edward made Gaveston regent for the period of the king's absence in France, where he went to marry Isabella, 15, daughter of King Philip IV. Gaveston married the king's niece, Margaret of Gloucester, and received the earldom of Cornwall. In 1311 the barons, led by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, forcedthe king to appoint from among them a committee of 21 nobles and prelates, called the lords ordainers. They proclaimed a series of ordinances that transferred the ruling power to themselves and excluded the commons and lower clergy from Parliament. After they had twice forced the king to banish Gaveston, and the king had each time recalled him, the English barons finally had the king's favorite kidnapped and treacherously executed. In the meantime, Robert Bruce had almost completed his re conquest of Scotland, which he had begun shortly after 1305. In 1314 Edward II and his barons raised an army of some 100,000 men with which to crush Bruce,but in the attempt to lift the siege of Stirling they were decisively defeated (Battle of Bannockburn). For the following eight years the earl of Lancaster virtually ruled thekingdom. In 1322, however, with the advice and help of two new royal favorites, the baron Hugh le Despenser, and his son, also Hugh le Despenser, Edward defeated Lancaster in battle and had him executed. The le Despensers thereupon became de facto rulers of England. They summoned a Parliament in which the commons were included and which repealed the ordinances of 1311 on the ground that they had been passed by the barons only. The repeal was a great step forward in English constitutional development, for it meant that thenceforth no law passed by Parliament was valid unless the House of Commons approved it. Edward again futilely invaded Scotland in 1322, and in 1323 signed a 13-year truce with Bruce. In 1325 Queen Isabella accompanied the prince of Wales to France, where, in accordance with feudal custom, he did homage to king Charles IV for the fief of Aquitaine. Isabella, who desired to depose the le Despensers, allied herself with some barons who had been exiled by Edward. In 1326, with their leader, Roger de Mortimer, Isabella raised an army and invaded England. Edward and his favoritesfled, but his wife's army pursued and executed the le Despensers. Edward II was effectively deposed by his wife Isabelle and her lover Mortimer, who had the parliament of Westminster force the king's abdication and replace him with his son of 14, who reigned until 1377 as Edward III. Edward II was captured in 1326, deposed in 1327, imprisoned in Berkeley Castle where he was mistreated in hopes that he would die of disease and malnutrition, but the king had a strong constitution, so he was put to death with cruelty September 21; it was announced that he died of natural causes.
