Additional comments:
This is thought to be the same Daniel Potts found in the 1790 Wayne County
Newbern District census. He is also thought to be the same Daniel Potts from
Lenoir County, the son of Stringer Potts, who was the son of Robert Potts as
shown in a deed posted on the Lenoir County, NC GenWeb Archives page.

This Daniel Potts migrated to Rutherford County, TN sometime after his
marriage and had descendents in Williamson County, TN.
