General Notes: Husband - Christian Portser

---

He purchased a considerable tract of land north of Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and immediately upon his arrival in that vicinity, he and his son, Joshua, began to improve this tract until it was in a condition to be sold at a good profit. After concluding this sale they removed to Salem Cross Roads, which was then known as Wilsonsburg, where Christian Portser purchased a large piece of property. On this place he made his home until his death. In addition to farming he followed the trade of cabinetmaker and was a mechanic of no mean ability. Throughout his life he was a member of the Lutheran church.
