Foster: Potter, John, s. Tho., of Breaton, Surrey (sic), pleb. Exeter Coll., matric. 7 July 1692, aged 16; BA from Lincoln Coll. 1696, MA 1708, vicar of Cloford 1706, canon of Wilts 1718, rector of Puddimore 1719, and of Wheathill, all Somerset, 1723. See Rawl., ii.281; Foster's Index Eccl.
I think that the ordination records of 1698 and 1699 relate to this John Potter, rather than ID 61327. Foster does not mention that this JP was a fellow of Lincoln (whereas 61327 is so identified), but 61327 was appointed to a benefice before the date of the ordination records linked here.
