Biography

New York

My fourth great grandparents William Porter (1796-1868) and Martha Shepard (b 1800) had moved from Alstead/Walpole, Cheshire, New Hampshire to Mexico, Oswego, New York about 3 years earlier.

My fourth great grandparents David Darling (1805-1889) and Mary Polly Gates (1805-1883) were in New York, most likely Virgil, Cortland, New York. David's parents, David Darling (1761-1839) and Mercy Phillips (1771-1853), were also there, as well as the likely father of Mary, Joseph Gates (1776-1854).

My fourth great grandfather Porter Worden (1811-1891) was about 18 and lived with his parents, Lyman Worden (1791-1883) and Elizabeth Brown (1795-1857), in Oswego, Oswego, New York. Porter Worden's grandparents, Richmond Worden (1758-1837) and possible Orinda Lippett (b 1762), in Oswego as well (I'm not sure when Orinda died). Porter Worden's future wife, Hannah Leonard (1813-1887), was about 16 and likely living with her parents, Isaac Leonard (1780-1862) and Jemima White(?) (b abt 1785), in Hounsfield, Jefferson, New York.^[1]
