MyHeritage claims that wikitree shows Susanna as the daughter of George and Martha.
https://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10109/wikitree?itemK...

But wikitree disputes that
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Potter-32
and claims she was born to Robert and Elizabeth.
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Potter-37

The MyHeritage page links to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Potter-138 which says:

* Susanna Anthony formerly Potter
* Born 1618 in London, Greater London, Middlesex, England
* Daughter of George Potter and Martha Weeden (Unknown) Potter

That Wikitree link for Susanna is the same one connected to George at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Potter-32 meaning there is no conflict between the MyHeritage mirror and those two Wikitree pages.

The Susann born to the Robert at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Potter-37 seems to be a different one. Robert's Susann was born 18 Apr 1619 in Buckinghamshire, while George's Susanna was born 1618 in London.

Did you see this comment on potter-32?

"There has been a lot of confusion regarding this family in various genealogies across the internet. There are two big mistakes that I have seen in many genealogies. First is the confusion of George Potter Sr, born 1584, with his son George Potter who died in Portsmouth, RI in 1640. George Sr actually died in Clerkenwell, London in 1630 while his son, who died in 1640, was born in Clerkenwell in 1608. The other problem seems to be with the inclusion of a daughter Susanna Potter, christened in Newton Pagwell in April 1619. Susanna seems to clearly be the daughter of Richard (should say Robert) Potter and Elizabeth Marshall of Newton Pagwell, not George and Martha. There was, however, a Susanna Potter in Portsmouth who married Mr. Hazard. Her parentage has not been confirmed. It's possible that she was the daughter of George and Martha, but there is no record of her christening - unlike ALL of George and Martha's other children. It is also very possible that this Susanna is the daughter of Richard Potter and Elizabeth Marshall of Newton Pagnell and that they are cousins of the Potter's in London. Further research is required."[17]

Disputed Origins

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-585046

The wife of John Anthony of Portsmouth and the mother of his children, is currently unknown.

Please read the full analysis concerning the unknown name of John Anthony's wife and why a Susanna or Susanna Potter is not being listed as her name, here: : Unknown Susanna Potter Anthony.

It has generally been thought that John Anthony's wife was named Susanna, and that she was the daughter of Robert Potter, of Newport Pagnell or George Potter, of London of London (abt.1584-1630).

Currently there is not enough direct/primary evidence to make either claim. She therefore is Unknown (Unknown) Anthony.
