Disputed Origins

According to Robert C. Anderson, the wife of William Potter was Frances Unknown.[1] Her surname and parents are unknown.
It has been suggested that Frances's [2] maiden name was Child, and that she was the daughter of Thomas Child of Bedfordshire. However, Frances's origin remains unknown. This is according to Robert C, Anderson in his Great Migration series.[1]. In the case of Puritan Great Migration project profiles, we defer to Anderson, unless there is new evidence discovered.
Birth c. 1609 at Lewes, Suffolk, England is a guess, based on the ship's passenger list which reported her age as 26 in 1635.[3]
An article by Patricia Law Hatcher, published in 2004, identifies the parish records for the Potter and Beecher families at Lewes.[3]. William was baptized on 28 August 1608 at St. Thomas as in the Cliffe, Lewes, Sussex, England, son of William Potter and possibly his 2nd wife, Ann/Hannah Langford.[3]
