Death of another Soldier of the War of 1812 and the Last Survivor who Witnessed the Blowing Up of Fort Erie.

Another old soldier of this section--Capt. David C. Porter, living in the Poag's Hole Valley -- was "mustered out of the service", last Friday, and his funeral took place from the English Lutheran church on Monday, Rev. P. A. Strobel officiating. Capt. Porter was born near Trenton, N.J., Feb. 14, 1789. He was a brother to Matthew Porter who came to Dansville in the winter of 1796, making his way through a deep snow from Bath and guided only by marked trees. In the summer following David came to Dansville and has resided here ever since. In the spring of 1814 he volunteered in the service of the United States in the war which we were then waging against Great Britain, serving as a first lieutenant under Capt. John Kennedy of Bath, in Col. Hopkins' regilment of volunteers. He participated in the battle before Fort Erie which was fought on the 16th Sept. 1814, assuming command of the company, in consequence of Capt. Kennedy having been disabled by a wound early in the engagement. Capt. Porter witnessed the blowing up of Fort Erie by which nearly three thousand British soldiers were destroyed, and it was said of him before his death that he was the sole surviving witness of that event. In early life he married Miss Noe but never had children. All through life he was noted for his energetic, enterprising spirit, was a man of genial manners, a worthy citizen, a true patriot and man of correct moral habits. Of late years he had led a retired life, hardly ever apparing in the village except on Independence day, when he was selected with other veterans to occupy a post of honor in celebrating the day. While he lived he commanded the respect of all and his death will be truly lamented.

His executors were "Phebe Porter" and "Marcus McNeal" (their signatures)

The following is an observation by Glenn Atwell, a professional genealogy researcher from Erie County, New York, 2001.

"We can see that Porter was a substantial man in his day. Besides farming his land, he was also a blacksmith, an occupation which may help identify him elsewhere. He was also, I would think, considered fairly well-to-do. Note the silver, 2 mirrors, feather beds, and fancy furniture-half rounds (demi-lunes) which were placed at the ends of the dining table to make it oval, breakfast table, candle stands, etc., which were far from basic furnishings. The only reference to his tavern license is the bar room table; note there are no stocks of liquor, cider, beer, etc. So, besides providing a very nice view of the life he had in Clarence, this also provides the possibly telling fact that he was a blacksmith in addition to being a farmer of substance."
