January 26, 1733- In 1732, Thomas Potts, Jr. had married Susanna. The marriage was accomplished in a manner ''contrary to Discipline of fray" and on January 26, 1733, they made an acknowledgment for their "Disorderly Walking," which the Quakers accepted. This shows that Susanna was also a Friend, but her maiden name is not given. They resided in Bristol Township.
