The source for the marriage of the parents listed is listed on her fathers profile. Benjamin Hornor. According to the Quaker Meeting records he married Rebecca Butcher on 6 Apr 1761 at Burlington, New Jersey. They also indicate that Benjamin and Rebecca had at least 5 children, Mary, Amy, Sarah, Benjamin and Rebecca.
If there was a second marriage we need to find a source for the marriage or even Rebeccas death to see if that ties in with a second wife theory. You could also make a research note on the profile. I couldn't find Sarah Potts - could you post a link.
According to the family tree in my possession, the mother of Rebecca (Horner) Coates was Sarah Potts, who married Benjamin Horner in 1776. Perhaps this was a second marriage, given the age difference from the elder sister Amy who also appears in WikiTree. I think the correct profile for Rebecca’s mother is Potts-4649 because the ancestors closely match with what is shown in the family tree in my possession.

Any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks,
