Author's Introduction: I'm spending a lot of time looking at the Booth Family of early Connecticut colony. Sometimes I may interrupt this series to look at other ancestors, but I am very interested in getting some more information about my mother's family roots.
Sarah Porter Judson; Birth 15 MAR 1624 • Felsted, Essex, England - Death 16 MAR 1696-1697 • New London County, Conn
Her Mother: Anna Rosanna White Porter was my 10 times great grandmother (1600–1647) Birth 13 JULY 1600 • Shalford, Essex, England. Death 11 MAY 1647, she was the daughter of Robert & Bridget (Allgar) White.(See Bridget Allgar White here.) Anna was sister of three other New England emigrants: John White, Elizabeth (White) Goodwin. & Mary (White) Loomis.Anna and John Porter had eleven known children. (The Parish records of Shalford & Messing, Essex, England)
Sarah Porter Judson was the third child in the 11 siblings...and was among those who came with her parents to the New England Colony in 1638. They settled in Stratford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. She married in 1640 or 1644 to Lt. Joseph Judson, The Judson family came first to Massachusetts colony, then settled in Stratford CT.
Lt. Joseph Judson's mother was Grace Ann Porter Judson, sister to John Porter. His wife was his cousin. Among their 11 children was a set of twins, both of whom lived to adulthood, though their dates of death are identical, while the twins were a boy and girl (not at all identical!)
My great times 8 grandmother was the Judson's youngest child Abigail Judson Curtis (married Josiah Curtis) I spoke about her HERE and Here.
Their daughter Anna Curtis Booth married Zachariah Booth (blogged about earlier this week here.)
Judson house and Stratford Historical Society museum. This is the house (foundation at least, then rebuilt a few times) where my great grandparents lived. It gives me goosebumps to think of their children's feet running in and out that door.

BIRTH 1619 • Kirby Mooreside, Yorkshire, England
DEATH 09 OCT 1690 • Stratford, Fairfield, CT
