General Notes: Husband - William Porter

Henderson, Huntingdon Co, PA

A native of the north of Ireland, he came to America about the beginning of the ninteenth century, soon after settling in Henderson, where he purchased a large tract of land, most of which came to be owned by the Rhodes family. This land he divided between his sons, James and John, who became well-known citizens of the township.
