General Notes: Husband - Alexander Porter

---

He came to Berks County, PA, before 1800, and to Mercer County in 1805, by team.

He served in the War of 1812.

He emigrated from County Down, Ireland, with his wife, to America, about the year 1794. Soon after they came to Mercer County, PA, where he entered 100 acres of land in Sandy Lake Township. He and his children were all members of the Covenanter Church. The large two-story log dwelling-house put up by him in early times was long used as a place of worship.

He died about 1847. [HMC 1888, 1016]
