General Notes: Husband - Joseph Port

---

He was a soldier in the war of 1812. After this, he removed to Newark, Ohio, where he was killed by the falling of a limb of a chestnut tree. In the county history of Huntingdon county a similar account is given of the death of Casper, son of John and Eleanor Port, as having happened in Ohio; and his family, it is further stated, re­turned to Walker township (in which is Mc­Connellstown) after his death; in spite of the difference in names, the conclusion is almost unavoidable that Joseph and Casper were names of the same person.
