Wife of James Lewis

Daughter of David and Alice (Croasdale) Potts (challenged parentage by #47345651)

*Another perspective/opinion as to her family;
The parents of Sarah Potts were Thomas Potts (1680-1752) and Martha Keurlis (1682-1715). The information is recorded in the actual Quaker Minutes from Exeter Meeting in Berks County showing that she was a daughter of Thomas Potts and that her husband James was the son of Richard Lewis.

*It is doubtful that Sarah (Potts) Lewis was born in Bucks Co.
Bristol Twp in Bucks and Bristol Twp in Philadelphia are two difference locations.  Bristol Twp in Philadelphia was about 20 miles south of Bristol Twp in Bucks Co.  It is now defunct, having been absorbed into the City of Philadelphia by 1854 Act of Consolidation.  It was bordered by Springfield and Oxford twps in now Montgomery Co and by Germantown, which is also now defunct and absorbed into the City of Philadelphia.  The only immediate family member of the first immigrants of the Potts family from Wales that lived in Bucks Co was Elizabeth (Unk) Potts, when she married 2nd Edmund Bennet, in 1685.  However, after his 1692 death, she returned to Philadelphia where she died in 1708.  Thanx!  Claudia ((#47345651)
