General Notes: Husband - Samuel H. Porter

---

He was born in Cowanshannock township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and lived there during his early life. He worked on his father's farm until old enough to make his own way, after which he married. Shortly thereafter he purchased a farm from Gen. Robert Orr, near that of his wife's people in Wayne township, where he lived until his death. He was an earnest member and worker in the Concord Presbyterian Church, being a member of the session for many years. He was a man of rare literary ability, and a most influential and highly esteemed citizen of the community.

Another source states that he was born in Salem township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
