Grace Ann Porter Judson

My 10 x great grandmother born (1597) in England, married and had 3 sons who came with the parents to America.
William Judson was her husband, and a lot of Colonial biographies talk about him.
Grace Judson died on Sept 29, 1659 in New Haven CT

I just spent HOURS looking at her father, John Porter's lineage.  There was a birth and death date given, and even their marriage date.

But there are conflicting dates of his birth and death.  I've looked pretty in depth, and finally made an executive decision, that back in the 1500's a birth date could have been 3 years different and it still was probably the same person.

Many of the marriage dates at Ancestry have as much as 10 years span listed, and sometimes both dates are given background information.  So I usually will post both of them onto my tree, usually.  The exceptions the ones that are when they are before child-bearing age.  So a 14 or 15 year old might have been married.

So after having two complete trees (on Ancestry) of families of Grace Ann's parents, John and Sibyl Vessey Porter, I've combined the 10 children when it showed 20 children with all kinds of duplicates.  Grace Ann is the 9th of the 10 children.

She married William Judson in 1618, Nov. 17. But the hand written document says he married Grace Emson.  Not sure how that means Porter.  But all the other records say he married Grace Porter. They also are listed as being married when they immigrated to New England in 1630. And in the same year he is listed as having married Grace Burton who we only know was born in 1600...no other information.

When Grace died in 1659, William remarried Eizabeth Willmot.

Grace and William Judson had 3 sons in England who they brought with them to America.  They may also have had a daughter, but there's no information about her.

Their sons were:

Joseph Judson Lt. 9g
1619–1690
BIRTH 1619 • Kirby Mooreside, Yorkshire, England
DEATH 09 OCT 1690 • Stratford, Fairfield, CT

Sgt Jeremiah Judson
1621–1701
BIRTH 1621 • Kirby, Yorkshire, England
DEATH MAY 15, 1701 • Stratford, Fairfield, CT

Joshua Judson
1623–1661
BIRTH 1623 • Kirby, Yorkshire, England
DEATH 1661 • Stratford, Fairfield, CT.

I listed these sons because they are on my family tree, Joseph is my 9th great grandfather.

Grace Porter Judson also had a brother John Porter, who was also my 10th great grandfather.
His daughter Sarah married her cousin, Joseph Judson, 1619-1690, as listed above, the son of Grace and William, and they became my 9 times great grandparents!

I'll be talking about Joseph and Sarah Porter Judson, and her parents soon.
