Janis -
Have been subscribing for quite a while, and this is the first time I have
seen anyone researching a Porter in Jefferson Co, IN. Finally!!!! My line is
from Aaron PORTER b. ca 1780 in NY married Lavinia CHAPMAN b. 1785 in NY.
They had children - James b. ca 1805 NY; Exa b. 1807 NY; Hosea B. b. ca 1810
NY; JOHN J. (mine) b. 1818 IN; Minerva b. 1820 IN; and Nicholas b. ca 1825
IN (I believe that Nicholas belongs with this family, but no proof yet)
Have found what I feel is their family in the 1810 & 1820 IN census.
I pick them up again in 1830 census in Cedar Co., Iowa. Also in the Cedar
Co., Iowa History book. JOHN J. married Margaret MATTER 1858 in Iowa. They
had 6 ch. John L., William H. (mine); George W.; Mary Ellen; Margrette; and
Harry E.
I would be thrilled to find someone who ties in with mine. I am willing to
exchange any information either on the list or directly.
