David Potts

(11 Apr 1738 - 27 Oct 1809)

(Research):He was originally a Friend, but his membership seems to have been severed in 1764. He was twice married, first to Mary Thomas who died Oct ober 18, 1796. He married, second, Temperance Heith. His father, by his will, left him a plantation of 310 acres, and named him as one of his executors.
The inventory of his effects was filed July 9, 1810. In the division of his estate his widow and children John, Joseph Lewis and Mahala, only are mentioned. Perhaps the other children died young. TMP page 299
