CHAPTER XV

Margaret Potts - Morgan

Margaret Potts married Evan Morgan, December 1, 1708, as shown by the records of Christ Protestant Episcopal Church, Philadelphia. Aside from the record of marriage, very little information of Evan and Margaret Morgan has come to notice. From the manner of their marriage, it would appear that, Margaret Potts, unlike the other Potts' of Pennsylvania, had not been brought up under the teaching of Friends.

Evan Morgan owned a tract of two hundre and fifty-two acres of land in Philadelphia County, upon Neshaminy Creek, which he and his wife Margaret conveyed by deed to Thomas Potts, butcher, of the City of Philadelphia, on March 20, 1713/14. The deed is recorded at Philadelphia in Deed - Book E 6, Volume 9, page 214.
