Richard Porter was a passenger on the Marygould in 1635. He married Ruth, maiden name unknown,  in Weymouth that same year. They lived not far from where the meeting house of the North Parrish was standing in 1883, probably between there and the old burying ground. We are descended from Richard and Ruth on the Laviolette (DeRochemont-Shorey) line, through two of their children, Mary and John.
