Disputed Origins

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-400966

Isabel's parents and maiden name are unknown.[1] Her place of birth is assumed to have been England. Isabel may have been born about 1615. This date is estimated based on the estimated date of her marriage.
She is frequently reported as Isabel (Anthony). This is derived from the fact that John Potter, son of Robert and Isabel, called John Anthony of Portsmouth his uncle. In addition, Robert Potter was uncle to John Tripp. There are several different ways that this might occur, but Anderson cautions, "the basis for these stated relations has not yet been determined."[1]

Family

Isabel married by 1634, as his first, to Robert Potter.

After Isabel's death, Robert married, as his 2nd, to Sarah (Unknown). After Robert died (inventory 14 May 1656), Sarah married, as her 2nd, to John Sanford.

Robert Potter and Isabell Potter, wife of Robert Potter, were members of the First Church of Roxbury in 1634.[2]

Children

Children of Robert Potter and first wife, Isabel:[1]

1. Deliverance Potter, bpt 5 Mar 1636/7; m by 1658 to James Greene
2. John Potter, b abt 1640; m 1) 2 Jun 1664 to Ruth Fisher, 2) 7 Jan 1684/5 to Sally (Wright ?) Collins [NEHGR 37:275].
3. Elizabeth Potter, b say 1642; "said to have married" Richard Harcutt [Austin 156][4]

Disputed child

According to Anderson, Robert Potter had only two known daughters, Deliverance and Elizabeth. Deliverance Potter married to James Greene, and Elizabeth "is said to have married" to Richard Harcutt [Austin 156].[1] Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island also includes a daughter, Isabel, but Anderson disputes her, based on the will of Robert Potter's second wife, Sarah, who left bequests "to the children of John Potter, Elizabeth Potter, and Deliverance Potter." If this was intended as a complete list of Robert's children, then Isabel could not have been a daughter.[1] Isabel married 1) Unknown Moss, and 2) William Burton. Anderson surmises she might have been more distantly related through Robert's first wife, or possibly a childless daughter (and this is the reason she was not mentioned in Sarah's will).[1]

In the introduction to the Potter Genealogies, the author states that,

"It has also been stated by some historians that Anthony Potter, of Ipswich, was a son of the Robert Potter, of Lynn, who subsequently settled in Portsmouth, RI. There does not seem to be any records to make this certain. The name Anthony was a family name, and suggests that his mother may have been an Anthony, as the families of Anthony and Potter were connected."
