Hello,it is possible that Nathanial Porritt came from the North Yorkshire/Whitby/Scarborough area of England.From the little research i have done this area appears to be the ancestral home of the Porritt clan - there is even a Porritt Lane in Scarborough near the harbour.The Guinness Book of Names even mentions that Porritts were heavily concentrated in this area in the 19th century.I believe my own Grandfather - Clarence Porritt came froma village in this area called Marske (it is near the town of Guisborough).The Scarborough/Whitby area is a part of England i often go to in summer - will do some research for you if you want.Hope i have been of help
