Biography
DO NOT CONFUSE THIS HANNAH POTTS WITH THE HANNAH THAT MARRIED Peter Rubincam (various spellings) see Potts-2005. She was having children with him at the same time this Hannah was having different children and has a different death date.
Hannah Potts was born in 1755. She passed away in 1778.
Hannah married Richard Currie and they had the following known children: Margaret Currie 1772–1858, Ann Currie 1773–1840, William Currie 1775– , Richard Currie 1776– , (they may have had a daughter Hannah in about 1770, unverified.)
Richard Currie joined the 1st Militia of Pennsylvania, he became ill and died in Sep 1776.
Hannah Potts died during the winter of 1777-1778, and the children were raised by their grandparents.

Both of the children currently listed for Potts-2087 are children of of the husband listed Richard Currie, both children Ann Currie Broades and Margret which married Walker. (which is my line I have extensive research on her and the Currie) . Do NOT change profile Potts-2087 it is correct and have valid Wikitree sources.
Family Search link just shows a old family history that they were speculating with a process of elimination which could be flawed and in my opinion is flawed. With the advent of the Internet and DNA we have much more information than they did about the various Hannah Potts. The ancestry link you sent definately if anything proves the opposite, that Potts-2087 (my line) who died in Feb of 1778 and married Richard Currie ( Hannah Potts Currie and husband Richard are buried beside Richard's father, Reverend William Currie in St. David’s Church Cemetery, Radnor, Delaware, Pennsylvania. ) So, as you hopefully now see is 100% NOT the same Hannah Potts that married the Peter Rubicam and living in Newlin Twsp. Chester PA in 1830 in your Ancestry source. And the children and parents of Potts-2087 are correct. Now if you wish to make changes contributions to Potts-2005 go ahead and add to the research notes that research was done as you see by the profile by Williams-59645 on 30 Mar 2020. I found her sources to be sound however.
Was on Potts-2005 Reply to : Suzanne (Campbell) Lowe Hi Loretta , if I've got your name right! :-) I found the document / resource that I had cited before. First, please see pp 299-305 for an explanation that Hannah Potts, was daughter of Ezekiel Potts and wife of Peter Rubincam. https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/viewer/621918/?offset=&return=1#page=302&viewer=picture&o=&n=0&q=. Second, See footnote 65 for verification that Hannah Potts was the daughter of Ezekiel Potts (and wife Barbara) and the wife of Peter Rubincam. https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/48376/images/PAFamiliesII-001993-803?ssrc=&backlabel=Return&pId=318522.
Based on these I'd like to suggest that Potts-2087's husband be CHANGED to Rubicam-3. Also Potts-2005's husband should be changed to Currie-1134.
Basically if we switch the husbands, and change the children to the correct father, things will be correct. I will also notify Bratton-287, the manager of Potts-2087.
Also I'm happy to fix the respective research notes!
I have not yet heard back from the manager of Potts-2087, so let's wait a bit before we take this further. In the meantime, I'll try to look through the change log to find the sources cited by Williams-59645.
