 | Petition from William Porter to Acquire His Father's Land - 1816
From Alan Williams, January 2022: Samuel Doak Porter asserts that John Porter was married to a Nancy McKenzie. As my 3xGGF was named Gabriel Mckenzie Porter, I have little doubt of it. :-) SDP and GMT both stop short of a maiden name for Moses wife, Margaret, but a longstanding Porter oral tradition has the brothers ‘marrying sisters’, and naming Marget as Nancy McKenzie’s sibling. on MOEM she is ‘Margaret something’. She is named in Moses Porter’s will as a coexecutor with his ‘beloved brother, John’, a will witnessed by Aaron McKenzie. Until two months ago, Margaret’s death date was given on Ancestry as 1794, the same year as Moses Porter’s demise.
My brother Scott has blown all that away with a petition from Moses Porter’s son, William, to acquire his father’s land. This document is wondrous in that names and helps track all of Moses known offspring except Joshua. It also adds a startling new fact about Moses Porter’s widow in the last paragraph, i.e. that she was married to William Harden.
