Narrative

On 1 Nov 2007, "dorothyperrault1" posted a comment on ancestry.com (http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/Comments.aspx?tid=2969360&pid=-1794776637) which said, "Joseph is not the father of James Tanner Potts but the son. James Tanner Potts parents are Jonathan [John] Potts and Mary Tanner, from Cabarrus Co, NC They were married there on Mar 1811."

This is an interesting turnabout on my comment concerning Joseph Brevard POTTS (abt. 1783-1829), which you should read. (I have never felt James Tanner was named after someone named Gillespie—and please consider James Tanner's brother, Rufus Brevard...)
