Porter connections?
Can anyone help me with my brick wall - John Tilden Porter? He was b.25 July 1828 in MD to John and Helen Porter. He moved to OH then on to Clayton Co.,IA in 1853. He married Harriet Elizabeth Beatty in Apr 1858 and had 4 children. He d.9 May 1912 and is bur. in Union Cem.,Clayton Co.,IA. Could his mother's maiden name possibly be Tilden? I have located a John Porter (1776 - 1856) and wife Helen (1787 - 1862) bur. in Clayton Co.,IA but can't prove they are John's parents. Dates work but.... Does anyone have any of these names in their family histories?
