I have John POTTS who was married to Elizabeth MCVEAGH as the child of David POTTS and Alice CROASDALE instead of the lineage which follows. I have David's parents as Thomas & Elizabeth POTTS of Llangirrig, Montgomeryshire, Wales. I show Thomas POTTS who was married to Elizabeth LUKENS as dying July 29, 1776 in Chelsea Forge, Sussex Co., NJ. Was the NC information correct; but he moved to NJ before he died? Also, I do not show the same children for Thomas & Elizabeth Lukens POTTS. Which info is correct?
