29 Nov 1727 – Limerick, Philadelphia Co, PA
Indenture of the heirs of George Burson, Sr deceased, to Harman Dehaven. Signed, among others, Jonas Potts and Mary his wife ”(they the sd Anne & Mary being the daughters of the sd George Burson, deceased)”

This Indenture offers verification that:

1. Hannah (Goud) Burson, widow of George Burson the Immigrant, was still living in Nov 1727
2. James Burson, son of George & Hannah Burson, was deceased by Nov 1727
(a) James Burson did not sign with other heirs
(b) “Joseph Burson, eldest surviving son of the s’d George Burson, deceased”
3. Jonas Potts, the Immigrant, married Mary Burson, daughter of George & Hannah Burson, sometime time after Oct 1721 (mariage of her sister Anne Burson to Cunrad Cunrads) and before the Nov 1727 Indenture

Mary Burson was born about 1692 in Dublin Twp, Philadelphia, PA where her father George Burson, Sr, was listed in the 1693 Dublin/Oxford Twp Tax Lists. [Both Dublin & Oxford Twps are now defunct, having been absorbed into the City of Philadelphia by Act of Consolidation]

The first wife of Jonas Potts, Mary Unknown (her maiden name, birth & location is unknown and unverified), was still living in 1719 when she witnessed the marriage of her daughters Rachel to Joseph Burson and Elizabeth to William Heald. This is evidenced by the marriage certificates of both daughters, as well as the Quaker Minutes of Philadelphia.

There is no documentation to support Jonas Potts, the elder, ever went to or died in Virginia. His last verified acts were Aug 1731 wherein he signed a Quitclaim Deed as "of Sackony" [Saucon, Bucks Co] and May 1740 at Gwynedd Mtg in PA. Subsequent dates, i.e. 1754 Pennsylvania Gazette notice, were merely references to him.
