Matthew Porter
My ancestor, Matthew Porter, has been a challenge.I've tracked him on the 1840 Census with brother, David, living in Wyandot County.He married Mary Wagner in Seneca County on 7 Oct 1858.They moved west to Indiana where their 2 girls, Eliza and Cynthia were born.They then moved to Cedar County, Missouri, where daughter, Ida was born, then back to Ohio, where son, Harley was born.They are on the 1880 Census for Seneca County; but I haven't been able to find a trace of Matthew in Seneca County.He lived in McCutcheonville for a while.He died between 1880 and 1900.By 1900, wife Mary, had moved to Toledo and was living with daughter, Ida.She passed in 1928 and is buried in Toledo Memorial Park.I have not been able to find a trace of Matthew.Does anyone have any Porters in their tree?Incidentally, brother David married Charlotte Wagner, Mary's sister, a year after Mary and Matthew married.
