Excerpt from Memorial of Thomas Potts, Junior, Who Settled in Pennsylvania: With an Historic-Genealogical Account of His Descendants to the Eighth Generation Seven years ago I began to collect and transcribe, for the information of my children, the materials for a family history, without any intention of preparing them for the press; as the work progressed, it became known to some of the descendants of Thomas Potts, who, finding that I had gathered up valuable information about the older members of the family, urged me to arrange it as a memorial and print it by subscription, that it might be preserved in a permanent form. To this repeated request I unwillingly consented, - unwillingly, because I foresaw it would involve a great expenditure of time, care, and critical research to connect interesting facts, and put them in a narrative form; but I consented because the manuscript prepared from widely scattered papers could not be replaced if accidentally destroyed, unless copies of it were multiplied by printing. With what labor the following pages have been put together only those engaged in similar works can judge; and yet, to quote the words of Dugdale, "I must expect no less than the censure of some, who would have it thought that they know much, if they do hit upon anything that I have not seen, and perhaps tax me with my negligence, or worse, for omitting it."
