Jason, Great Web site, Fantastic and arranged very well. I am the son of E.W Potts born in Healdton Oklahoma in 1929. He in turn is the son of Elmer Walter Potts also of Oklahoma. There were three brothers, my father E.W, Cubert the oldest and Marvin Lee. If anyone has any information on this part of the Potts clan I would appreciate hearing from you.

Matilda Potts (daughter of Amos Potts of Bradley County, Tennessee) is my great-great-grandmother. I am new to the family tree search so I do not know if we are related.

I was impressed with the character of Amos Potts depicted in "History of the Rebellion in Bradley County East Tennessee" by J.S. Hurlburt. After reading your account of your parents, I am convinced that the Potts lineage is one of which a person can be proud. I certainly am. I believe our ancestors are smiling down with pleasure at the wonderful job you have done with this site and in preserving the history of the Potts Family. October 8, 1998

I landed at this site because of a message on the net from Kate Ewers. I was trying to access her homepage to see if we have common family roots. I have information that traces back to John Ewers in Loundon County, Va in the mid 1700"s. There is a mimeographed book in the Library of Virginia called "This is Ewers", containing Ewers family genealogy gathered in the 1930's that includes Ruth Ewers, my mother. The book is not available through inter-library loan. I've been trying to determine if the Loundon County, Virginia, John, and his brothers, one of whom was named William, can be traced back to England. Does your information go back further than John Ewers? My maternal grandfather came from Mason City Iowa. His name was Fay Elijah Ewers. His parents James Gladney Ewers and Della Maude Keith Ewers moved to Michigan in the early 1900's. If you would like to exchange information, please contact me in the USA at <bbrunett@longwood.lwc.edu>. I work in the library at Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia.

I am descended from Captain Francis Cecil Gallini, whose wife was Mary Bayly, said to be the sister of the 1st Earl of Uxbridge. The 1st Earl of Uxbridge was, from the dates involved, presumably Henry Bayly, 9th Baron Paget, and 1st (2nd creation) Earl of Uxbridge, and great great grandson of the Right Rev'd Lewis Bayly.

The Right Rev'd Lewis Bayly is included in the Potts Family Tree Data Base, as well as his great great grandson Nicholas Bayly, but Mary Bayly is not. Does anyone have any information about her, or know of a source where such information may be found.

Impressive stuff indeed! :)

I come from a family of five brothers, one of whom I have never met so chanced across this on my first foray onto the net - I never even thought anything like this would exist out there - fascinating!

I'm the son of Malcolm Potts, son of George Potts who originally came from Bootle, Merseyside, in the UK. Brothers Mark, Richard, Martin and BEN, whom I have never met. His mother's maiden name was Sy Eng Ong, from Singapore, where Malc was stationed with the RAF.

Any information would be gratefully received.! Congrats on the impressive site!

Hi!  I am Jeanette Woods, granddaughter of Elizabeth Violet Potts, who was married to Leslie Roy Langmead.  I was so surprised to read the message from Doug Langmead today - the people you describe are my grandfather (the POW), Leslie Roy Langmead, my father (the architect), Oliver Leslie Langmead, and my uncle (the Baptist minister), Oswald Roy Langmead!  Also my brothers, (born in Albury), Ross and Leslie Langmead, and other brothers (born in Hong Kong), Howard and Peter Langmead.  I was Jeanette Langmead, now married to Peter Woods, living in Melbourne.  My husband is an Anglican minister, so the links go on!  It would be fantastic to set up a Langmead page and I have quite a bit of information.  I have also written the story of Leslie Roy, the POW.  If Doug would like to get in touch, I'd be thrilled.

Jason,

Congratulations on your efforts.

Just a bit about my family.
My family (my parents Lancelot and Emelia, sister Blossom, and two brothers Leon and Bruce) reside in the UK in the London area. My father, and my uncles Valentine, Lenoard, John and Conrad were born in India, as was (possibly) my grandfather Aloysius. This particular group of the Potts family I believe came out
from England (possibly from the Newcastle area) in the late 19th Century, and worked on the Indian Railways where Aloysius was a rail engineer.  The family returned to England in 1950, though Lenoard subsquently migrated to Australia. 

Are there any other Potts's out there who know about us?
Please let me know.

Hi,

I found this site several months ago.  I am  doing research on the John Potts family who was my great grandfather.  He lived in Southern Iowa and  was married to Anne Kaufmann he had four sons John  Jr, Dal, Seigal and Sherman Sheridan. Sherman was my grandfather he married Ethel Beebe and all 11 of their children was born in Bluff City, Kansas, I think they were raised there also and maybe Ponca City, Oklahoma.  If any one has information on this leg of the Potts family I would be glad to hear from you. Great Web site. Keep up the good
work.  Thanks

Love you site.  I would like to find the name of the ship that Daniel Gregg sailed on to reach America. Any ideas. I am presently searching the National Archives. Daniel Gregg traveled from NY to Cherrytree Township, Venango County and purchased 200 acres from Miller heirs in 1843. And of course the story goes on. Anyone requesting any specific info feel free to e-mail me.

Hello Jason,

Very nice web page.  I enjoyed looking at all the GREGGS.  Many christian names the same as in my GREGG family.  Won't be surprised if your GREGG family ties into mine, back in Ireland.

Interested in your Lynas names. My pre-Revolutionary grandparents were Thomas and Jane Lynas, or Linas. They were in Chester County, Pa. about 1736-1741. We have not been able to locate much about them. Their daughter, Violet Linus married Thomas Hill at Newgarden MM, Chester Co, Pa. in 1741 but by 1746, they along with Thomas Linus and John Linus were in Virginia.

Jason, your site is ttoPs, with plenty of oPtts and places to sttoP.  Found your site whilst looking for Langmeads on 12 Feb 1998. I'm thinking of doing something a little less ambitious than your site for Langmeads, as those I have contacted are quite enthusiastic.  One of the Langmeads there was a POW from 1916-1918 in the First World War, who was also an architect and ultimately a Baptist minister. My great uncle Edwin was a prisoner of the Japanese in the notorious Burmese camps in the Second World War, but that experience drove him into banking rather than the ministry. I don't have any direct links with this branch of the Langmeads that I know of, but interestingly their first children were born in Albury NSW, which is where I moved to before going overseas, and they also moved overseas, as their later kids were born in Hong Kong. Final coincidence, both my father and I are architects, but haven't yet been either POW's or called up for the ministry or banking.

Good site, hope you don't mind the long message, but maybe some Langmeads will find it - if so, please get in touch.

Hello Jason. I was just browsing to see what sort of information is available re Family Trees. As far as I know I do not have any relatives with the name Potts. Obviously you are a professional, your Website is very impressive. I would like to think that I will be able to achieve the same some day. I presently have around 2000 people in our family tree, thanks to the work of other people. My only other comment is that the text appearing in yellow on this guest book page is very difficult to read.
