I believe that one of the daughters named Sarah (Potts-1156) is incorrectly shown as the daughter of Thomas Potts and Sarah Beakes. Potts-1156 lived in England, while this Potts family were New Jersey Quakers. Suggest de-linking Potts-1156.

Potts-1157 and Potts-222 appear to represent the same person because: same name, dates and spouse
