Potts References

There are a number of useful published references for Potts surname researchers. The usefulness varies since the intentions of the authors and compilers were varied.  Some of the references are specific to a particular Potts line, i.e., a particular Potts individual and all of his descendants.  At least one other reference is generic – it examines all Potts (and variations thereof) lines.  A third category of references is one in which a particular Potts family is included along with several other family lines.  The following is not an exhaustive listing.
