David -- there were two separate Potter families in the Woodbridge area -- one, involving names like Ellis, Reuben, and the like. The other were daughters of William Potter who was hanged in New Haven in 1662 for beastility with sundrie creatures. I am descended through William's daughter, Hope Potter, who married Daniel Robinds/Robbins. William was a brother of the father or grandfather of Deacon Samuel of New Providence. Harman
