Other trees to check: 1. Geni. [1] Emma Potter (Carter), born ca. 1606 in Newport, England. Died 26Jan1659 in Lynn, Mass. Wife of Nicholas Potter of Lynn. Mother of Sammuel, Elizabeth and Robert.
2. FamilySearch. [2] Emma Knight, born in 1607, wife of Nicholas Potter, mother of Robert Potter.
3. FamilySearch. [3] Emma Knight Potter, born 1607 in Pagnell, Newport, Buchingamshire, England. Married 22Apr1628 in Salem, Mass. There are other aspects of this tree that are clearly wrong, so this tree is suspect.
4. FamilySearch.' [4] Mrs Emma Potter, born 1608 of England. Married Nicholas Potter 1629 of England. Children Robert (1630), Samuel (1632) and Elizabeth (1634).
5. FamilySearch. [5] This record has Emma Potter, born about 1609, marrying William Knight before 1638 in Lynn, Mass. This is obviously the wrong Emma, but it may be the source of some claims that our Emma married in 1638 in Lynn, Mass,

Emma was the wife of Nicholas the immigrant. She is not a child of Robert Potter. I am going to disconnect her and merge with Nicholas wife. Objections?
