| 3. | Elizabeth (..) Potter-Parker died on 28 Jul 1677 in New Haven Co, Connecticut. Notes:
Robert Ruse's second wife Elizabeth seems to have been a strong willed woman.. A court action June 1643 involved slander of "widow Potter- and Edward Parker by a Mrs. Br-A-Aster. It appears that for some reason the church elders did not approve of Edward Parker and had requested Mrs. Potter not to receive his attentions. Mrs. Brewster reported that "Mrs. Potter would not join the church because she would not give up Edward Parker.-
Elizabeth did marry him, and in Jule. 1646,
"Edward Parker and his wife presented their desires to the Court to inyest John Potter's two sons in the right of their father's land and house and declared themselves willing to bestow a heifer of a year old on Hannah and deliver it presently for her use..." James Shepard, "The New Haven Potters, Am. Gen., vol. 54, pp. 20-23).
