Moses Porter
Moses Porter was born in Virginia in 1799, and after various changes, came to this county in 1834, and entered the piece of land on which he now lives. He married Allie Watt in 1825. They have raised a family of five children. When Mr. P. first came to the county he became discouraged, through disgust for pioneer life, as he was a saddler by trade, and not inured to the hardships of the frontier. On this account he left the farm and went to Sidney, where he remained about eighteen months. At the lapse of this period he returned to the land in this township, where he has since remained.
