Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Hugh Porter of Londonderry who migrated to Washington County, Pennsylvania
« on: Wednesday 15 January 14 14:53 GMT (UK)  »
I have found that Jane Wilkin, wife of Hugh Porter, was born in 1768 in County Antrim, Ulster, Ireland. Her parents were Archibald Wilkin [1737-1799] and Ann Duncan [1737-].  Any help in identifying Hugh Porter will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Unfortunately, I have no historical documents that pertain to Hugh Porter in Londonderry other than information contained in wills probated in Pennsylvania. My hope is that there are still Porters living in Londonderry or elsewhere that are familiar with Hugh Porter and his son Archibald. It would not surprise me, however, to find out that most if not all of that family migrated to the states. I am trying to learn the identity of my earliest know ancestor, James Porter [1781-1830] who married Susannah Elizabeth Keith in Grayson County, Virginia in about 1798. Somehow, James is related to Archibald Porter of Washington County, Pennsylvania. I appreciate your response to my post and can only hope that someone will have a piece of information to help me.
