• Notes

  "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." -Historical Collections RELATING TO The Potts Family in Great Britain and America, WITH A HISTORIC-GENEALOGY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF David Potts, AN EARLY ANGLO-WELSH SETTLER OF PENNSYLVANIA INCLUDING CONTRIBUTIONS BY THE LATE WILLIAM JOHN POTTS ********* COMPILED BY Thomas Maxwell Potts, Author of The Carter Family, Our Family Ancestors, etc., Cannonsburg, Pa.
