There is a "Potts Family Genealogy" by Thomas Maxwell Potts, 1901, which has references to John Potts, aide to Gen. George Washington during the Rev. War and grandfather of Gen. Benjamin F. Potts, Gov. of MT Terr. appointed by Pres. Grant; 1870; served as Gov. 1870-1883. Perehaps the information on John Potts will is given there. T. Grant Maple [email protected]

>http://www.usigs.org/library/military/links/index.htm The WWI site is current constructing a new database. It looks like it will be very helpful when completed. Meanwhile, I'm going to check some of the other databases, which also look very good. Thanks, June, for responding to my question.

Pat I am still looking for clues to a PA connection. Did you get an answer to the look up you requested? Would be interested to know if there were any of my Philip Wards there. Jack Ward

Beryl, Thank you so much for the JONES information. Hopefully I will find a connection to one of those listed in that section of the book. Until then, I will continue my searching for the JONES family lines. Again, thank you for your assistance in this. Linda

A distant cousin has a bowl made by her ancestor who was b. 1826, d. 1872 at Irondale in Jefferson Co. She is interested in learning about potteries in the county. I believe there was at least one near Empire. Anyone know of any books about Jefferson Co. potteries? T. Grant Maple [email protected]

I just sent two examples of short personal thank you type messages I just received in my in-box from people on our list--they did not seem to come thru correctly so I am writing again to try to clarify what I was writing about. My point was that we, I thought, had all agreed not to send these personal messages thru the list so as not to clutter up everyone's mailboxes. I am talking about the kind of message that has absolutely no meaning to anyone other then the recipient. Such as: "Ok thanks, Mildred", etc. etc. Please.... when we receive 40 or more e-mails a day, it is not fair that we have to wade through all this meaningless stuff. Let's all try to be more thoughtful, please, and send personal messages directly to the person, not to everyone on the list! Happy New Year.

Greetings, I'm researching William A. Livingston b. 1784 PA, and Jane McCance (d/o George Jr. McCance) of Jefferson Co. OH. They married in 1812, Jefferson Co. OH. Any help would be appreciated in finding the parents of William A. Livingston. We suspect that he had a sister Mary Livingston who married into the Delaney family, and possibly a brother John of the same county. Best wishes, Pam Ingle

I have one Jefferies in my listings: Mrytle Jefferies who married Bernard Pocock(b.1890) ,the son of James Robert Pocock(1856-1928) and Mary Davidson(1857-1921). The only other info I show is Bernard was a Nazarene preacher and had a daughter, Ruth, who married a Newland. Bernard lived in the area of Warren , Oh, and Ruth and her husband, also a minister, lived in Michigan.
