My name is Lenard Potts; my father Paul; my Grandfather John; my great grand father Patrick. Patrick was born in Ireland on March 17, 1826 (county Meath we believe) he died Nov., 17, 1904. He married an Emily Montique and their marriage produced 12 children. They all were born & lived in Northwest Missouri, at least their early lives. Patrick Potts had brothers James & Michael; sisters Elizabeth; Kate; & Ellen. I know Michael came to the United State but not sure of other family members. If you have any info RE my family, please advise or likewise, if I can be of any help to others.

Great homepage!!!

My Samuel Craig m. Nancy Potts and his brother Fawcett Craig m. Mary Potts. I estimate they married 1827-1832. Nancy Potts recorded in the Census of 1850 she was born in VA.

The Craig families immigrated in ~1817 and settled in Monroe County OH what is now Noble County OH.

An early lawsuit in Monroe County listed a Stephen Potts.

Would appreciate any information that would tie these people to a Potts line.

Thanks...

Your site is great - and my business is the internet (online gaming) - so if you are the author of the HTML's congratulations. If not your webmaster is pretty darn good. Thomas Potts (Shield) came to America on the ship Shield in 1678. He came to Bucks Co., PA, and many of the English Potts roll up to him (as distinguished from the German Potts).

Reason for visit - Potts surname - I am from Thomas Potts (Shield)


Bob Derber has kindly provided a book on his ancestors. The book covers the descendants of Richard and Anna Potts starting with Thomas Potts, baptised July 12,1647. In December 1678, after over a month at sea, the Potts family arrived in America on the ship Shield, landing at what was to become Burlington, New Jersey. The book is available for download now (90Kb). The file is zipped so if you expect to have any trouble feel free to contact me.


Hi: I'm searching for Dutch/German POTTS. Now I'm wondering if the British/Scottish POTTS are related. My POTTS line starts with Andrew and Simeon POTTS settling in PA in 1730. Andrew's son Andrew II was b 1753 in MD. Andrew II m Catherine Zilhardt and moved to Washington Co. MD. From there they moved to Jefferson Co. KY. They had 10 children:
Susan
John b 1769
Andrew b 1771
Fredrick b 1773
Mary Catherine b 1778
Joseph b 1782
Elizabeth b 1784
David b 1785
George b 1787
Jacob b abt 1801

I'll be interested to see if any of these folks tie into the British POTTS.

Thanks for your comments. Yes I did write this web page. I use Hot Dog to help me with code and GED2HTML to convert my GEDCOM family database (created with Kith & Kin) to HTML. All the design and research has been done by me. The personal information that I have on my family was taken from books written by earlier generations and the general information on the names was found in books that are refered to in the articles or on the Internet.


WOW!! I am so impressed to see a web page this great. It is one on the best pages I have ever viewed, and it's all in common with my (our) last name ...
