Porter Family - Samuel Porter and his brother Joseph, natives of County Armagh, Ireland, immigrated to this country about 1825. Samuel purchased a farm of 100 acres of land one mile southwest of Jamestown, Penn., where he lived till his death, which occurred May 31, 1875. He married Elizabeth Cochran, daughter of Samuel Cochran, a native of Ireland, who came to this country and settled in Greene Township. Mrs. Porter died May 1, 1875. Their children were: Nancy, who died at the age of fifteen; Robert, who was a member of the One Hundred and Fortieth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and died from a wound received at the battle of the Wilderness; Samuel C., William, Esther, deceased, and John, deceased. Samuel C. was born July 25, 1840, in Greene Township, where he was reared and educated. In his early life Mr. Porter for a number of years was engaged in teaching school in his native township. At the time of Lee's raid into Pennsylvania, in 1863, he enlisted in the Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania Sate Militia Volunteers. He is one of the present school directors of his township. He married Mary L., daughter of Samuel and Nancy (Henry) Calvert, and by this marriage they have six children: Frank C., Robert B., William L., Nancy E., Jesse and Samuel. William, the fourth child of Samuel, was born December 30, 1844, upon the homestead where he was reared. He was educated at the common schools of the township and the Jamestown Seminary, and completed his education at the Iron City College of Pittsburgh. He is unmarried, and is engaged with his brother, Samuel, in general farming. Mr. Porter and his brother are two of the enterprising farms of Greene Township. Politically they are Republicans.
