Jane,
If you want a separate tree, tag the "husband" and children and export
that tagged group to a new Legacy file.
File - Export - to Legacy file
Export just the tagged group.

I don't wish to have just her standing alone. To research the
connection I will need her children's names and details, and her
husbands information. Sort of a total picture of everything I know
about the prospective family. Then I will be researching their
children's death records, obits, land, etc. so will need their
information to be all together so I don't have to keep looking back
and forth . I guess a family group report would give me everything to
help the research, but can't get one together unless I have her as
wife to the family.
I am having a hard time making this clear. I like the idea of a new
mini-data base, but am not sure how to get there without re=inputting
everything on the husband and children. Perhaps do a focus group of
the husband, his parents, and the children of the father. Then I
could just put in the prospective wife by hand.

Jane,
There is no reason why you can't have her as an unlinked individual,
with all her own data, within your main database. She will show in
the name list, and can be linked when you find a connection but will
generally not show in any other lists or reports.
If you go to View > Trees > Refresh that you may find you already
have some floating individuals.

I have a prospect for the wife of an ancestor. I am 95% sure that
she is the right one,but not 100%. I should like to have a
mini-data base of just this couple and their ancestors and
descendants to use for research purposes while I try to verify
their relationship.
I don't want to add her to my main data base, since I don't have
her documented, but I need her in my dummy data base so I can see
the broader picture and how she fits in.
Alternatively, I could put her in the main db, but in some special
way (color type, different font?) or some such designation. Would
that work better? Then I wouldn't have to re-type all her facts in
when I verify her.
Can anyone suggest how I might do this?
