General Notes: Husband - William Porter

---

His parents were natives of Paisley, Scotland. He was a trader. He inherited a legacy from his uncle, but through the attorney employed by him lost the same in some way. He then decided to emigrate to America, and in 1818, accompanied by his wife and two youngest children, came over, settling in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and two years later he sent for his older children to join him, they having been left in the care of Mr. Porter's sister. His wife was an industrious woman and together they struggled for a living, she spinning flax and carding wool and weaving cloth, and Mr. Porter traveled and sold their product, also other articles of use.
