John is listed as a yeoman through various Ancestry sites. A Yeoman was a member of "a social stratum of commoners below the landed gentry, but above the husbandmen. Wikipedia.
He married Sybil Vessey (1561-1625) They apparently (according to Ancestry listings) had 10 children.
Several of their children immigrated to the American Colonies...as various New England genealogical records show. John Porter Jr. was well known in Windsor, CT, and I've posted about him and his wife Anna HERE.
Anna (Mrs. John Jr.) White Porter was sister of three other New England emigrants: John White, Elizabeth (White) Goodwin. & Mary (White) Loomis.
Anna and John Porter Jr. had eleven known children. (The Parish records of Shalford & Messing, Essex, England)

John Jr. was a Puritan and a prosperous cloth trader, as well as served in many capacities to help the early towns of Stratford and Windsor, CT. (where I lived in the 1960s)
Sarah Porter Judson was the third child of 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.
