General Notes: Husband - Nathaniel Porter

---

He was a native of the North of Ireland, and was the first member of the family to immigrate to America, coming here about 1770, and locating in Chester County, Pennsylvania. After settling in Pennsylvania he married and reared a family of eight or nine children. He kept a tavern in Williamsport for many years, and his hostelry was a great resort for salt packers and people who were crossing the mountains to bring merchandise and salt to western Pennsylvania. This property was destroyed in the battle of Brandywine, in the Revolutionary struggle. Nathaniel Porter and his wife passed their days in eastern Pennsylvania, and died in Chester County.
