Dear Madam:

You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary
War pension claim, S.40288, that Jonathan Potts enlisted at Hillsboro
or Leesburg, Londoun County, Virginia, December 5, 1776, served as a
private in Captain William Smith's Company, Colonel Daniel Morgan's
Eleventh Virginia Regiment, was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown,
White Marsh, Mommouth and a skirmish at White Plains and was discharged
December 6, 1779.

After the Revolution, he moved to western Pennsylvania, then to the State
of Ohio.

He was allowed pension on his application executed June 27, 1818, at which
time he was aged sixty-two years and resided in Jefferson County, Ohio,
where he had lived for twenty years.

In 1820, he was residing in Jefferson County, Ohio, with his son and his
son's family, no names are given, nor is the name of his wife and date of
marriage stated. A son, Thomas Potts, is referred to, his age is not given.
Soldier died July 4, 1831.

The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information
in regard to Jonas Potts and the War of 1812 records do not show that a
claim for pension was ever made on account of the services of Jonas Potts.

                                           Very truly yours

                                           E.W. Morgan
                                           Acting Commissioner
