Excerpt from A Short Biographical Sketch of Major James Potts, Born 1752, Died 1822 I had hoped, even with the facilities remaining, to collect a fuller account of the Major's Revolutionary history, but in the absence of documents, probably lost, I am able to present Only a very fragmentary sketch. I wish here to acknowledge having received valuable information from William John a very intelligent and courteous gentleman of Camden, New Jersey, who, for more than six years past, has been collecting materials for a history of the first settlers of the name of Potts in the United States. Should any one, into whose hands this volume may come, be in possession of any additional facts relative to the subject of this sketch, I h0pe they will at once be communicated to me.
