1641 Map of New Haven shows two adjacent town lots on the southwest portion of town - one assigned to John Potter and the other assigned to Widow Potter. There is no town lot assigned to the Widow Beecher. In the records and the Index of the Ancient Town Records of New Haven the entries indiscrimately refer to both Widow Potter and Beecher, indicating that she was the same person. This would make sense since she was living in town also with 3 sons, Issac Beecher, John and William Potter. Her name would easily get mixed up and she might be referred to by either moniker.
