Harman,
Actually this makes perfect sense, as I have a John Potter, who was from
Woodbridge, who married Hannah Clark, daughter of Stephen. He was her second
husband, the first being a Laing from Rahway. John's death cert. states that
he was born in Woodbridge, I believe.

P.S. What kind of beast is a 'sundrie"?
Couldn't resist....
