Note

Marriage date is assumed to be 29 January 1752. See below:

NATHANIEL PORTER PROBATE John Porter, son of Nathaniel, "late of Woodbury," was appointed Administrator Sept 11, 1758. It was noted that Mrs. Porter, widow, and Thomas Perry of Danbury (son-in-law and heir of Elizabeth Porter of Woodbury)appeared at the court "and exhibited the last will and testament of said deceased..and observing that there is nothing in said will given to his wife or now widow, save only during life, which is wholly inconsistent with law, this court therefore determine said will be set aside and be void. Whereupon this court proceeded to appoint an administrator on the above estate; and appoint John Porter, son of the above deceased, administrator therein, and have the date above granted to him, said John Porter letter of administration." (Woodbury Probate Records, Vol. 4 p. 52, 100 and 148, Family History Library film 6172. Nathaniel Porter probate. On p. 100 it was ordered that several inventoried household items listed be returned to the widow and removed from the inventory. They had been received by Nathaniel Porter Jan. 29, 1752. Probated May 6, 1760. (Woodbury Probate Records, Vol. 4 p. 52, 100 and 148 (reference to Nathaniel Porter not found on or near this page), Family History Library film 6172.) Because the court believed he received her property on Jan. 29, 1752 that would likely be the day they married.

It is known Elizabeth Gilbert, widow of Nathaniel Gray was the fourth wife of Nathaniel Porter because of Gray's probate: "We Thomas Perry and Elizabeth his wife both of Danbury...in consideration of the love, duty, affection and regard which we have for our honored mother Elizabeth Porter of said Danbury...all that part of our late honored father, Nathaniel Gray's estate as was set out." Note Gray's Probate refers to Elizabeth as "Elizabeth Porter." (New England Historic Genealogical Register; Vol. 115, p. 279, 280, 281; 1961)
