Elizabeth Potter, was the daughter of Robert Potter of Rhode Island and his wife Isabel (____).[1][2] Her birth is unknown and as such there are many "suggestions" for this birth.
Richard Harcourt married, 1st, in 1651-2, Elizabeth Potter born 1635-6, died about 1674-5. Poole & Davis records claim that Elizabeth Potter is the daughter of Robert and Isabel (Anthony) Potter, but Elizabeth Potter WikiTree records appear to conflict.
Austin says Elizabeth married Richard Harcutt. Anderson says "said to have m. Richard Harcutt [Austin 156].
The first child of Richard Harcutt is estimated to have been born in 1651. This establishes a birth for his wife at say 1631, certainly not later than 1636 (age 15), which introduces a certain doubt about the age of Elizabeth Harcutt and whether she was actually the daughter of Robert Potter. 1631 seems too early for Potters first child (we know sister Deliverance was bpt 1636/7). Anderson's placement as youngest child b. say 1642 is too young to be the mother of Harcut's children.
Children: Savage's Genealogical Dictionary.[3] Austin repeats the list (without husbands.)[2] Savage says their names were obtained through a will of Robert Potter's second wife. Anderson points out that the will of Potter's second wife, does not list these children.[1]

Will create an Isabel (Unknown) for children and for merges (or not, if there was an Isabel Anthony who married someone else or was unmarried. (there is some specific into on Anthony-268)
edit: earlier, I wrote the wrong wife - mother was definitely the first wife (brain glitch - Wikiing too late). No children of the 2nd wife, per Anderson. Also Isabel is (Unknown). Sorry for any confusion Thanks!
