Re: Potts descendents

r_reyhl — 2012-05-15 19:14:03Z

I am related to a Myrtle Eldora Potts (1884-1963) and I believe her father is Franklin M. Potts but he either died or disappeared early on in her life so I have almost no information on him. Myrtle's mother was Caroline "Carrie" P. Pollock (1865-?). Any help on Franklin Potts and his ancestors would be very much appreciated, if he is actually connected to this lineage of Potts.

Thanks!

rhian25556 — 2012-05-05 12:23:15Z

It could be a good omen! Lets keep our fingers crossed. If I update my tree, I think Ancestry.com will send you an update, which would be listed on your home page. That is if you have a Potts listed that relates to one of the Potts I list on my tree.

Can you get to a city or town hall, or even look it up via the internet where your relatives were born to check out birth certificates. That might give you something to start with. Keep me posted!
Enjoy the weekend!

Thank you, Karen. I am pleased to find two women with the name of Davidson researching Potts. Perhaps it is a good omen. (-:

Re: Potts from Scotland

rhian25556 — 2012-05-03 15:19:44Z

Sounds confusing to me. I have found information by searching on Ancestry.com with the name Potts, and through Google. It seems that most Potts settled in PA, but the relatives I am looking for settled in Mass. If I were you, I would search under both surnames and see what can be found.

You are welcomed to view my tree at Davidson/Gauthier/White/Johnson on Ancestry.com to see the info that I have on Potts. Good Luck!

Re: Potts from Scotland

Biological name is Potts, adopted name is Kroen, and I was told PLAINLY that "they are Black German", but the Grandfather and his twin brother were given up by their Potts' parents to neighbors named Kroen. I have no idea which surname Granny was researching. She kept repeating the "Black German" phrase, and that the two families were in a "group" of immigrants, in Indiana (maybe) and I presumed Germans. Never explained the "phrase". Where do I start?

Re: Arthur Potts/Luna Barrett

DHartley95 — 2012-04-29 20:18:14Z

The source I got this info from was at the Coneuch County Library..I see if he was ever in Texas.and let you know....

Re: Arthur Potts/Luna Barrett

1_jodieboyd — 2012-04-29 10:51:18Z

Unfortunately, I have no info on Arthur other than a census with him, Luna and Jesse listed as Jesse Potts. After that , Jesse is adopted by Luna's second husband James H. Belcher. I do know Luna was b,1882-1954 so that would put the age range right. Was your Arthur ever recorded in Texas?
This would be my great grandfather so I would appriciate aany infor you have :)

Hi,
I am still trying to find out anything about my grandfather, Percy Potts. He married Genevieve Hillbrick (of Hammond, IN) sometime around 1920 and they lived in Chicago for about 18 years before moving to Cleveland, OH. He is said to be Scotch/Irish decent. No one in my family knows anything about him. I think I remember Springfield being mentioned. You can email me at nevadadeb@aol.com

Potts from Scotland

rhian25556 — 2012-04-01 16:20:30Z

I am doing a family tree for my son and grandson. My son's great grandmother was Evelyn Potts Greenquist and lived in Quincy Mass.

Evelyn's parents were Isabella Finnie Potts and John Mitchell Potts (John was born in 1898) It appears that they came from Scotland to this country in 1904 or 1905. They both lived in Dundee, Scotland.

John's parents were John Mitchell Potts (born in 1847) and Mary Robertson Potts. Never came to this country and lived in Dundee Scotland.

John's parents were George Henry Potts (born in 1823)and was married to Jessie Carnegie. They both lived in Scotland.

If you have any info, please let me know

Fannie Jo (Fanjo) Potts?

andreaky01 — 2012-03-22 03:31:52Z

When I was a young girl my grandfather Sidney Griffin Jr. from Estill Co. KY told me he had a cousin they called Fanjo and that when she was a young girl her family moved to Oklahoma. He stated he thought it was in the early 1900s. As he was getting older he stated he couldn't remember if Potts or Warren was her maiden name but one was her maiden and one was her married name. I also remember the name Grant but am unsure if it was her husband's name or her father's. Any help would be wonderful!!!! She has been a family mystery for years!

Re: Potts descendents

claudiasul — 2012-01-21 23:09:15Z

Thanks! I've read/downloaded/cited those books you refer to. From my research, though, I've found many errors/discrepancies and I figured it was because they were written over 100 years ago an much has been discovered since then. I'm still compiling my data, but have over 10,000 names in my file, with (I estimate) about 95% verified. I'd love to share information with you as we all know facts and data will change until the end of time, and I love the challenge of finding my errors!!!

Re: Potts descendents

KGHogue — 2012-01-19 14:40:36Z

Claudia, I don't seem to be able to reply to you directly from the information on the message board but I am certain there are many who are interested in their POTTS genealogy. My main sources of information are listed below. To contact me: kenhogue@hughes.net.

My POTTS information comes from internet sources except for my immediate relations living in Illinois. I did a book search on Google and was able to find some POTTS information in that manner and even download a pdf version of a book on the family. My sources of information going back to Thomas POTTS b. 1590 in Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire, Wales are:

Book sources: "The Potts Family in Great Britain and America" written and published by Thomas Maxwell Potts and

"Jonathan Potts 1714-1785 His Ancesters and Descendants" written and published by Joseph J. Reichel.

Web sources: The Potts Surname Website. The URL is www.pottsinfo.com, and

GENUKI (UK and Ireland Genealogy). The URL is www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/MGY/ .

The book sources are very interesting! I hope everyone finds this information useful.

Re: Potts descendents

claudiasul — 2012-01-19 03:26:17Z

Just jumping in here...I am descended from David (1670-1730) & Alice (Croasdale) Potts. I would be interested in anything you have regarding the ancestry in Wales, and/or the descendants of Thomas Pott (1631-1682) and his wife Elizabeth after her arrival in Pennsylvania. I will be happy to share any information I have, as well. Thanx! Claudia

Re: Potts descendents

KGHogue — 2012-01-15 15:21:32Z

Linda, we appear to be cousins as we both are related to the POTTS families in and around Bond and Clinton Counties in Illinois who lived in and around Irishtown Township, especially the towns of Keysport and Carlyle. This line of POTTS goes back to Wales and the town of Llandloes in Montgomery County. I will be happy to share information with you. Let me know the information you need.

Potts of Oswego County, New York

PLUMBETREE — 2011-12-27 16:45:03Z

Hello, has anyone either done research, or had access to information about John POTTS, who according to one of the early histories of the town, was one of the original settlers of Williamstown, Oswego County, New York about 1805? Thanks

Re: Potts descendents

claudiasul — 2011-12-26 18:40:24Z

This is what I have as ancestors of Jonas Potts (1662-1754). He was the son of Thomas Potts, (1632-abt 1680 Wales), married to Elizabeth Basset (1636 Wales - 1707 PA). This Jonas was the brother to David Potts (1670 Wales-1730 PA) who was my ancestor. I have four more pages of descendants, (this page only shows two of the three children of Jonas' marriage to his second wife, Mary Thomaston) but it shows the ancestors of Jonathan Potts (1744-1831) at his marriage to Elizabeth English (1814). This information has not been verified by me and is only a sketch at this time. It is a work in progress as I have delegated most of my time to David. Feel free to contact me if this is not sufficient.

I am very interested in finding information about a Anna M., (Mae?)Potts, who I belive first lived in Philadelphia and then moved to Williamsport, Pa. She was unmarried, delivered twin girls in 1925 and then Anna died in 1926. Anna's daughters are 86 years old now and the one daughter and I are VERY good friends, I love her as much as I do my own mother and she has two beautiful daughters that I am very close to. Any information about the family would really bring me to tears. It is very important to the family and to myself. Eighty six years is a very long time to find out information on your maternal family, especially your mother.

James C Potts born 1920 in West Virginia

erichistoryguy — 2011-11-29 03:48:46Z

Hi,

I'm looking for anyone that may be related to or knows anything about James C Potts, born September 3, 1920 in Marshall County, West Virgina. He was the son of Louis R Potts and Adah E (Ferguson) Potts.

He was a crewman on a B-24 bomber and was killed August 7, 1944 in China. I'm related to another of the men on the plane and have been in contact with relatives of a few more of the crewmen. I'd like to share what I've learned about the men and their military service with Potts's relatives.

Thanks,

Eric

Samuel Potts (1777-1861)/Monroe County, Ohio

stoddard45 — 2011-11-01 16:46:39Z

Does ANYBODY have the real scoop on this man ??? I´m not totally satisfied/convinced with my findings on diverse trees. It is said that he is the son of a Jonas Potts and they stem from Loudoun, VA. Were they Quakers ? Where is the documentation for this? This Samuel ends up in Monroe, OH. and many of his first children were born in VA. Any light that can be shed on this matter would be more than appreciated.
