Individual Details

Sarah Potts

(9 Jan 1745 - 28 Jan 1829)

Except for David, the father of Joel Potts, there is very little information about the other children. Two of the sons are said to have been drowned in a river by the parting of a raft. Joel said his aunt Sarah married Robert Rowland, had children, and moved to Missouri. He also said that another aunt [note: this aunt was actually Sarah] married a man named Burke, and that Burkesville, Kentucky took its name from him. She had no children and is said to have lived to the great age of 115 years.
