"Robert Porter, himself joined to the Church, October 13, 1652. His wife joined after him, July 12, 1653. The Children of Robert Porter. Mary Porter, 11 years old, about February 16, 1657. John Porter, 9 years old, February 12, 1657. Thomas Porter, 7 years old, October, 29, 1657. These three above mentioned were baptized at Hartford, and entered with him (their father,) into Covenant with the Church at Farmington."
The birth of these three children is recorded in the published Farmington Vital Records. It is not clear, given the wording of the church record, whether they were (1) born and baptized in Hartford, or (2) born in Farmington but taken back to Hartford for baptism. The Hartford records for this time period are lacking.
