General Notes: Husband - Andrew Porter, Jr.


He, his sister Anne, and their widowed mother (although she was over seventy-five years old) went as missionaries to the Chippewa Indians in Michigan.

He remained in Venango County, PA, until 1837, when he became a resident of the town­ship of Cherry, Butler County. Ten years later, or in 1847, he vis­ited Michigan, and after a few months' sojourn re­turned to Butler County. He married and after an interval of three years, again returned to Michigan, where he remained until 1875, when he settled in the northeast corner of Clay Township, Butler County. For eighteen months he taught the Indians at the “Old” or “Daugherty Mission,” and from 1852 to 1871, the Ottawas and Chippewas, at “Bear River Mission.” His great­-grandfather came from Ireland and settled in Chester County, PA, where Andrew, Sr., his father, was born.
