Captain Potts ran for sheriff at one time but was beaten. ( For him the
town of Pottsville in west part of the county was
named and brother to
"Squire," Potts who was J. P. there for years. Mr. Williams
thought that he ran against George Gentry. At least that bunch. (My uncle
Tom Roddy said he sort of thought his father stood in with the Gentry
faction.)
