=== Life Sketch ===
As discussed in the life sketch of Elizabeth (Not Wood) Potter Parker Rose, Hannah Potter was not the daughter of John Potter & Elizabeth (Wood) Potter of Chesham, Bucks. Instead, she was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Not Wood) Potter of Lewes, Sussex and New Haven, Conn.
Hannah immigrated from England to Connecticut with her parents before 1640. Hannah married Samuel Blakeslee on Dec 3, 1650 in New Haven. They then lived at Guilford for a few years, moving to New Haven between 1653 and 1657.
They had 11 children: (John (died age 2), John Edward, Mary, Moses, Hannah, Mary, Samuel, Ebenezer, Hannah, Jonathan, son). After the death of Hannah's first husband, Hannah married Henry Brookes in 1676.

!See notes for her husband and father. The FGRA sheet with her husband has her birth "abt. 1628, of New Haven, Conn.", daughter of John and Elizabeth Potter, date of her second marriage, his name and her death date. LDS proxy baptism and endowment are from the FGRA sheet with her husband, proxy sealing to parents from that of her parents. The baptism is in Logan Temple records, Phyllis baugh, friend, proxy. Proxy sealing of her second marriage is from the LDS IGI. From Duane Josephson's "Emigrant Ancestors...": Bronson and others have erroneously said that Hannah Potter was a daughter of William Potter. No record is found of any Hannah in William Potter's children, while the court proceedings as to John Potter's estate, and the 'heifer belonging to Hannah', shows that John Potter had such a daughter. The will of John Potter's mother, Hannah Beecher, made in 1657, is also conclusive, as she mentiions the three children of John Potter as her grandchildren, giving 'to Hannah Blackly my grandchild, wife to Samuel Blackly, twenty shillings'. The other grandchildren, John and Samuel, are known to have been the sons of her deceased son, John Potter........ the will of Elizabeth Rose (who was formerly John Potter's wife), made 23 Jul 1677, about six months after Widow Hannah Blakesley married Henry Brooks, names her 'daughter Brooks', which, taken in connection with the facts before shown, .... makes it absolutely certain that Samuel Blakesley's wife was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Potter. Widow Hannah Brooks died 7 Nov 1723."
