Thomas Porter

The Marietta Register, May 13, 1884

Thomas Porter was born in Salem Township, this county, Nov. 7th, 1800. He came to Marietta in 1817 to learn a trade and 20 years later moved into the place. Mr. Porter is a son of Amos Porter, one of the original 47 men who made the first permanent settlement of this place and a member of the Ohio Company. He has but one child living, Harriet, wife of Joseph Cox, of Lowell. Mr. Porter was formerly a tanner. He still has good health and was out gardening when our reporter called on him.
