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.

Thomas Stanley was baptized 12 Apr 1601 in Tenterden, Kent, England, the child of Robert Stanley and Ruth Garfield.

He married Bennet Tritton (dau of Daniel Tritton and Alice Goldhatch) 3 Aug 1630 in Ashford, Kent, England.

The Stanley family website at the following address has much information on the Stanley Family:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~stanfam/stanfam.htm The following from that website is discussing Thomas, Timothy and John, 3 children of Robert Stanley.

The Mayflower Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620 A.D. These particular Stanley families were Puritans. They emigrated from England for religious freedom, and arrived in Boston in May, 1634, just 14 years after the Pilgrims. They traveled on a ship named the "Elizabeth & Dorcas". John Stanley died during the voyage. Upon their arrival in Boston, the two remaining brothers, Timothy and Thomas, with the two remaining children of the deceased John Stanley, went with their fellow voyagers to make their homes in "Newe Town", now Cambridge. John's daughter, Ruth, was assigned to the care of her uncle Timothy, while John's son, also named John, was cared for by his uncle Thomas.

The younger John, Timothy, and Thomas Stanley, were among the founders of Hartford, CT., and are therefore known as the "Hartford" Stanley Families. Descendants of these three Stanley's have been in this country for nearly 400 years.

From Gary Boyd Roberts columns we know that the following are descendants of Thomas Stanley and Bennet Tritton:
Shirley Temple, Julia Tyler Gardiner, and the Wright brothers.
