NOTE: Part of Section One and all of Sections Two and Three will be uploaded to Potts Genealogy Web Site.
The information will not always appear as it does in the text of the book, but it will all be there. There will also
be additions made that will include research done since the book was published. These additions will be marked
with name or person having submitted the material or the source. It always recommended that those researching
their own line should verify all information contained in this or any other works. The full upload will take a
couple of weeks so keep checking back with the site. You will need to check each file for your ancestors there
will not be an all-inclusive index. It is my hope that this information will proof helpful to other Potts
researchers. I will continue to upload information received from others wishing to have their information
uploaded.
