Notes par Jonas Lane Potts

From "The Potts Family in America", pages 295-296:
Jonas Potts, son of David and Elizabeth (Lane) Potts, was born about 1726, probably in Pennsylvania, and removed with his parents to Virginia. To distinguish him from his uncle Jonas Potts, who lived in the same neighborhood, he was sometimes called Jonas Potts, Junior, and at others, Jonas Potts, Farmer.
On 10 mo, 31, 1748, he was received into the membership of Friends, by Fairfax Monthly Meeting. On 2 mo, 29, 1752, he applied to the Monthly Meeting for a certificate of clearness, in order that he might proceed in marriage with Mary Strode, a member of Hopewell Monthly Meeting, which was in due time granted and the marriage regularly consumated.
His father seems to have settled him upon a farm of 150 acres, and given him a one half interest in the grist mill. In 1761 he purchased 122 acres on the north fork of Kittockton from his incle Jonas Potts, and in 1763 he sold 50 acres, part of his tract, to Thomas Bryant. In 1764, he purchased from Thomas Wilson and Margaret, his wife, 260 acres on the south fork of Kittockton.
He died August 15, 1768, at the age of 42 years and was buried in the Potts graveyard. His tombstone bears the earliest inscription in the yard. The monument is rough Blue Ridge stone, and the lettering is somewhat crudely and quaintly cut. A copy of the inscription is given below. The first line is curved upward in the form of an arc of a circle. Immediately below this curved line, are cut three inverted hearts, in positions indicated by the three asterisks.

He mentions his wife and each of his children by name, and makes provision for them in the distribution of his estate. John Vestal took out letters testamentary, with Israel Thompson and Francis Hague as bondsmen in the sum £1000. The inventory of his personality covers four folio pages.
