Of course, the fact that they invested in the "Irish adventure" of the
1640s and '50s also indicates Puritan 'leanings' ...

_Calendar of the State Papers Relating to Ireland_, vol. 4 (i.e.,
_Adventurers for Land, 1642-1659_), p. 140:

Richard Porter, of Lamberhurst, in Kent, Esq., in and by a codicil
annexed to his last will and bearing date 7 Feb., 1652/3, bequeathed
his adventure in Ireland to his son, Richard Porter, or, if Richard
died under 21, to his son John. The will and codicil were proved 15
July, 1653. ...
Five receipts by the Treasurers under the arrangement between the
King and Parliament, in all for L600, from Richard Porter, of Abbot's
Langley, in Herts. ...

The epitaph of Mrs. Lucy Quimby Bromfield, uterine half-sister of Mrs.
Jane Porter Hawes:

Note that she could hardly be 70 years of age, as there is an extracted
record in the IGI for the marriage of her parents:

Saint Olave, Chichester, Sussex
7 July 1586, Edward Quinby to Jane Porter

Poor Lucy had a huge number of children in a short period of time
(almost rivalling Queen Charlotte's record)--see the wills of her
father and mother. I suspect that her first two children, Quinby and
Jane, were twins (and she may have had another pair of twins, as well).

Well, I see her epitaph states she had 11 children. I thought I
remembered at least 15.

Possibly her husband had a few kidz by an earlier wife (?) ...

Sometimes the maiden name is rendered "Quinsie," rather than
"Quimbie"--

I think I'm wrong about remembering 15 children. As Lucy was probably
age 30 (not 70!) at death, I remember thinking that she must have
started bearing children very young to have had 10 or 11. Quite
possibly she was married at age *15* or thereabouts.

Probably a descendant of Lucy Q. Bromfield ...
