I have a tree that supposedly includes Samuel Porter (5x great grandfather) born in 1682 and a wife Mary? born about the same time, both in the Pitcombe area. The next Generation I have is John Porter ( 4x Great grandfather) born in 1753 but am I right in thinking I am missing a generation as it would make Samuel and Mary far too old to be the parents of John. I have checked other trees but they all seem to have this Samuel and Mary as the parents of John and his siblings and depending on which tree you are looking at it seems they had between 6-11 children, is this possible? Or can someone find me another father for John please Thank You Lindsay
