Derry (Londonderry) / Hugh Porter of Londonderry who migrated to Washington County, Pennsylvania
« on: Monday 13 January 14 14:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hugh Porter, born in 1765 in Londonderry, Ireland, married Jane Wilkin in 1790. Their children were Archibald, Margaret, Rebecca, Hugh, and Nancy. Jane's parents were Archibald Wilkin [1737-1799] and Ann Duncan [1737-]. Archibald Porter's son, Andrew Paxton Porter, is my closest FTDNA connection. He was born in Guernsey County, Ohio in 1819. I believe, but have not documented proof, that his brother, Hugh, migrated to Grayson County, Virginia prior to 1770 and had a son named James. This James married Susannah Elizabeth Keith in about 1797. Their children were Alexander, William, James, George, and Elizabeth. If anyone has any information about Hugh, Archibald or any of their descendants, please let me know.

Niall MacGinnis was my maternal uncle so I have quite a bit of information about the maternal Kelly side of the family and information about him and his siblings who are now all deceased. I have very little information about my grandfather Patrick MacGinnis' family although I did once meet one of his sisters who was know to my mother and family as Aunt Molly Mac. I would welcome any information in a personal reply

Niall MacGinnis , the MD and Irish actor was my maternal uncle. He died on January 6,1977. He was the eldest of 7 children born to Patrick MacGinnis and wife Mary Josephine Kelly. My mother, May (Mary) MacGinnis Roswell ,the last of the siblings, died in 2002. I  know that my grandfather was born in Limavady and I have a few dates and names, but do not know much about his family as he died when my mother was young.
