    Notes:

    John Porter was baptized at Felstead, Essex, England 21 Jun 1594 the son of John Porter and Sybyl Vessey. (TAG:18P56-60)

    He married Anna White, dau of Robert White of Shalford and Bridget Allgar of Messing, in Messing on 18 Oct 1620. She was baptized at Shalford 13 Jul 1600. (TAG:18P56-60)

    I see different dates for his entry into New England in various on-line genealogies. The problem being that there were three different John Porter immigrants into New England in these early years. Records of one are being confused with another. Our John Porter arrived in New England in late 1638 or early 1639 and immediately settled at Windsor. He died 21 Apr 1649 at Windsor. His wife Anna had died 21 Apr 1648 also in Windsor. (TAG16:P49-53)

    John Porter and Anna White have many descendants, including Marlon Brando, John Brown (The Abolitionist), Anthony Perkins, William Williams (signor of the Declaration of Independence) and three U.S. Presidents, Grover Cleveland, Ulysses Grant and Gerald Ford.
