Note

I find children born to Samuel the drummer in the right time period, but no evidence of who is his father because there is no birth record for him. I just guessed this is the right one because he named his son Thomas. There is one other Samuel in Farmington in that time period, but he is always named Dr. Samuel (son of Dr. Daniel Porter.) Samuel may have been a deacon later in life. In that case he was a drummer when his children were born and a deacon later: "Thomas Porter settled in Hartford, and removed early to Farmington. I think he was a deacon. He died in 1697. His wife was Sarah, daughter of Deac. Stephen Hart, married in 1644. His two sons, Thomas and Samuel were both deacons..." ("The Porter Family," W.S.P., New Haven, Jan. 21, 1852, reprinted in NEGHR, Vol. 9, p. 54, F.H.L. book 974 B2ne, Vol 9..) Margaret Porter Miller lists "Samuel, m. Martha Freeman," but with no birth date. She does not list him as "drummer" in this family, perhaps because there is no evidence to which family he belonged and confusion with Dr. Daniel Porter's son Dr. Samuel Porter, although the vital records clearly distinguish between the two Samuels. (Some Descendants of Robert Porter, Farmington, Connecticut, 1640, Margaret Porter Miller, FHL book 929.273 P835m, p. 2.)

Note

Barbour Collection of Farmington Vital Records, F.H.L. book 974.6 V2w1, Vol 12, p. 314. "Samuel Porter m. Martha Freman Feb. 18, 1685." I have given this marriage to Samuel, son of Dr. Daniel. There is no way to be sure we have the right Samuel. Samuel Porter, drummer, son of Thomas was also married about 1685.
