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]
