A TYPICAL FAMILY
Robert Porter and family consisting of the mother, Martha Helen Thompson Porter, and Robert, Nancy and George, born in County Donegal, Ireland, came to Philadelphia from Ireland more than a hundred years ago. John was born in Philadelphia about six weeks after they came over, in 1821. Soon after they came to Clearfield county, Robert, the father, died.
Robert, the eldest boy, was apprenticed to a blacksmith in Philipsburg, where he made a hammer, when 12 years old, and gave it to his brother John, whose son now [2008] has it.
George was apprenticed to a cabinet maker in Brookville, some of the furniture that he made being still good and in use.
John was apprenticed to a saddler in Clearfield and learned that trade, going to school very little. He lived to be 98 years old.
Nancy married Thomas Ross McClure, son of Squire Thomas McClure. So the family were all provided for.2344
