About Mary [Porter] Middlebrook
Mary was born about 1693 and passed away August 13, 1771 in her 77th year. Jacobus has Mary listed as the seventh child of John and Mary Unknown Odell. All seven children were born in Fairfield. Mary had two husbands. Her first marriage to Nathaniel Porter was about 1713. After death of Nathaniel she married John Middlebrook at Stratford on August 4, 1727. She married first Nathaniel Porter about 1713. She married her second husband, John Middlebrook, on August 4 1727 at Stratford.[1]
Mary and her first husband, Nathaniel Porter, had eight children:[2]
- Rebecca
- Hannah
- Abigail
- Mary
- Sarah
- John
- Samuel
- Nathaniel
Mary and her second husband, John Middlebrook, had two children:[2]
Mary (1728-13 Aug 1798) became the wife of Benjamin Wheeler on April 20, 1749 in Trumbull, Connecticut. Stephen (30 Jun 1731-) married Hannah Hubbel. Middlebrook has less details on Mary giving only her 1692 birth, her August 13, 1771 death and her 1726 marriage as Mary Porter.[3] The widow Mary Porter married John Middlebrook as his second wife. They had two children: Mary and Stephen.[4]
John had eight children by his first wife, Elizabeth Bisbom who passed away in 1720. All the children by his first wife were baptized between 16 May 1703 and 21 Aug 1720. The two eldest and two youngest children died in infancy. If the other four children were baptized soon after birth they could have been part of John's household when he married Mary, age 34, in 1726 as they were between the ages of 11 and 18. their names were, probably, Mary, John, David and Elizabeth. Middlebrook mentions that John's second wife was the widow Porter but says nothing about Mary's previous marriage(s) or having any offspring.[3]
Middlebrook cites Fairfield Town Records, Book 6, pp. 222-223 for a land transfer to Lemuel Price by John who resided in Fairfield until February 12, 1724. John had an agreement with I. F. Middlebrook of Hartford for a tract of land in Long Hill, North Stratford later named Trumbell, Connecticut. The deed was executed January 6, 1718 but not acknowledged or recorded until December 25, 1728. It is likely that he resided in Fairfield with his first wife and the moved to North Stratford where he married his second wife and remained until his death on October 10, 1769. Mary passed less than two years later on August 13, 1771.[3][5][6]
There is a memorial on FindAGrave listing her parents as John and Mary Odell.[6]
