A person who may be interested in joining us, has submitted this information to see if you can connect him to the 13... Oh, BTW, that letter where I mentioned the Chinese Lettering on the bottom of the cup, and the thought that it may have been a cup from the Germantown Celebration, should not be taken seriously. I was teasing about the writing, and I did not mean to connect that paragraph to the one about the Germantown Historical Society. Quite often I make large jumps in thought content between paragraphs. Actually the letter was a private one at that, that was quoted publicly, though I am not fussing about that... Here is that POTTS data, then... Dear Mr. Summers: While researching my wife's Bone family, I ran across notes on her Potts line. I have not confirmed this information, but it might be connected to that PA group. I know next to nothing about PA history; where is Germantown? Thank you, R.
