Jennie PORTER m Walter C GALBREATH, Allegheny Co, Pa
I'm looking for information on ancestors and other family of Jennie PORTER, my paternal great-grandfather's first wife. Our family records show her as having been born May 10, 1854, in Bellevue, Allegheny Co., PA; d. January 25, 1891, dau of David PORTER of Allegheny County, PA and Mary [no last name in our records]. They were married 2 March 1940 in Allegheny County, where WC ran a grocery store. They had 2 chldren:
i Elasan "Elsie" O. GALBREATH, b 8 Apr 1877 Menlo, Guthrie Co., Ia, d 1969, m 10 May 1898 Edward M HOUGH; they apparently had only one child; Edward M HOUGH, Jr; Ed Jr. had a dau, Mary HOUGH who married Robert CARLSON. They have two sons, Mark CARLSON and Scott CARLSON. Scott has a daughter, Kimberly CARLSON.
ii Besse/Bessie (uncertain of spelling) GALBREATH, b 1 Sept 1884 Allegheny County, Pa, d 19 Sept 1856, m John O OTTO, no issue.
I believe this is the branch of the family dad refers to as having had 6 fingers. Dad also says that they, in spite of WC's Quaker heritage, were into Spiritualism.
