Porter- Morgan County, Illinois
Would anyone happen to have any information or know who the parents of James M. Porter who married Elizabeth Upton were?They were my gg-grandparents.The children were born in Morgan County, Illinois.James and Elizabeth were married in White County, Illinois.
James M. Porter, born 11/29/1811 married Elizabeth Upton.They had the following children:
Susie Porter, born 7/29/1834 married Jonathan E. Tanner.
Martha Porter, born 8/3/1835 married Isaac Covey.
Marion A. Porter, born 4/22/1837.
Harriett Porter, born 4/6/1839.
Jane Porter, born 3/15/1841.
Thomas J. Porter, born 8/13/1842.
Auston P. Porter, born 7/30/1844.
Mary Porter, born 8/14/1846.
Manda Porter, born 8/18/1849.
Angeline Porter, born 8/26/1852.
There are also other names that are probably somehow connected with this family:
Robert M. Porter, died 3/14/1852.
Zeligh Porter, died 8/25/1835.
Either of these could be the father of James M. but I can find nothing to confirm it.It's also possible that the Thomas J. mentioned above married Martha Patterson.
If anyone could tell me anything of this family, particularly who James M.'s parents were, I'd love to hear from you.
