     Matthew Porter was born on 30. Jul. 1784 at Bedminster Twp., Somerset County, New Jersey. He was the son of Nathaniel Porter and Charity Lane. Matthew Porter married Sally Fairchild, daughter of Nathaniel Fairchild and Elizabeth Munson. Matthew Porter died on 4. Aug. 1870 at North Dansville, Livingston County, New York, at age 86. He was buried at Greenmount Cemetery, North Dansville, Livingston County, New York. MATTHEW PORTER -- Died at his residence in this village on the 14th (4th) inst., after an illness which had confined him to his bed almost helpless for over two years and a half. Mr. Porter was one of the oldest citizens of this village. He was here in fact, before there was any village proper here. He came here in the fall of 1796, with his brother-in-law, Captain Daniel P. Faulkner, a patron of this section and after whom the village of Dansville was named. He was a lad then of about 13 years, and drover here from Albany one of the five teams with which Capt. Faulkner supplied this town with dry goods. The trip took some 12 or 13 days. It was about this time also that Mr. Porter's father and the fathers of Dr. and Robert S. Faulkner came to this place. Mr. Porter went to Milton, Pa., with Capt. Faulkner, where they lived for two years, returning to this place in 1801, since which time Mr. Porter remained a citizen of Dansville until his death. His brother-in-law and protector, Capt. Faulkner, died in 1802. The Porter family originall came from New Jersey, and Matthew Porter's mother, who inherited some money from her ancestors there, supplied him and his brother David (now living here and his junior by about five years) with capital which enabled them to buy in partnership a considerable amount of land just this side of Poag's Hole. The brothers were industrious and enterprising, and subsequently built in the vicinity of present "Porters' Mills" a saw mill, grist mill, carding mill and paper mill. This partnership was continued for many years, and when finally dissolved Matthew Porter took in one of his sons and continued the business under the firm name of Matthew Porter & Son. This firm afterward failed. Matthew Porter had four children, two sons, Matthew Jr. and Nathaniel, and two daughters. His two sons are now living in the west. One of his daughters, now dead, married Hugh McCartney, Esq., the other, a maiden lady, has devoted herself to the declining years of her father with a Christian patience and forbearance worthy of her holy mission. Mr. Porter's wife preceded him to the other world but a year or two ago. Mr. Porter was an industrious man and a good citizen, but it is only within two years that he embraced Christianity. Although not much of a politician he was several times honored with such minor town offices as the citizens of Dansville could prevail upon him to accept. He was a sturdy Democrat until the times of anti-masonry which swept the country like a fire in dry woods, when with many others he became a Whig, and never could be brought back into Democratic folds. Mr. Porter was a great sufferer during the last years of his life, indeed it is said that he never was free from a lung complaint after an attack of the great epidemic which prevailed in this county in 1813, immediatley after the war of 1812. He suffered much during his last illness, and during the greater part of that time his limbs were drawn up under him in a most painful position. But he is now at rest.

Mar. 1797 at North Dansville Twp., Livingston County, New York. He was buried at Greenmount Cemetery, North Dansville, Livingston County, New York. History of Livingston County, 1687--1881" by James H. Smith
NORTH DANSVILLE--Early Settlers

"Capt. Nathaniel and William Porter, brothers, came here from New Jersey, under the auspices of Daniel P. Faulkner, in 1796. Nathaniel died the following year in a log house known as the "Castle." It stood a little west of the German Lutheran church in Dansville village, and is supposed to have been built by the surveyors. All the early settlers in the vicinity of the village occupied it temporarily. Capt. Porter's death, which occurred March 12, 1797, at the age of 54, is said to have been the first in the town. This is probably the fact, as it is the earliest date preserved by the monuments in the village cemteries. At least three other died the same year. Capt. Porter's wife ---Charity --- died March 19, 1813, aged 64. They had a large famly ---James, the pioneer blacksmith, Peter, John, Matthew, William, David C. and Richard were sons of theirs, and all were then young men. One of their daughters was the wife of Daniel P. Faulkner; a second became the wife of her cousin, Richard Porter, son of William Porter; a third, the wife of Frederick Covert; and a fourth, of James Koogan. Not one of them is living; the last, David C., died in the fall of 1879, aged over 90. William Porter, brother to Nathaniel, settled where Matthias Kershner now lives, on the south line of the corporation of Dansville, and died there March 11, 1816, aged 77. ann, his wife, died in November, 1798, aged 54."

The obit for the above son Matthew, dated 11 Aug. 1870, confirms the connection of Matthew and subsequently of James S. Porter, Sr., to Nathaniel and Charity Porter. The will of James S. Porter, Sr., also confirms that he was a blacksmith.

"...Mr. Porter was one of the oldest citizens of this village . He was here in fact, before there was any village proper here. He came here in the fall of 1796, with his brother-in-law, Captain Daniel P. Faulkner, a patron of this section and after whom the village of Dansville was named..... The Porter family originally came from New Jersey..."

Taken from "Dansville Turns 200, 1795--1995" by David Gilbert:

p. 3--1796

" Dan Faulkner induced some fifteen families to relocate to the village (Dansville) he helped to frame out. Capt. Nathaniel Porter, his brother William and their families were among others who answered the call. they were from New Jersey."

p. 6--1797

" Nathaniel Porter who had arrived in the valley with his brother William the year before, became the first to be interred in Dansville's cemetery. He died on March 12 before he was even able to fashion his own place to live."

p. 15--1802

"James Porter took up the blacksmithing trade in Dansville."


pg's. 151 & 152--1870

"Several notable Dansvillians died in 1870. 87--year--old Matthew Porter died on August 14; like his brother-in-law, Captain Daniel Faulkner, he had been one of Dansville's earliest settlers."


p. 170--Feb. 21 1879

"A participant of the War of 1812, Capt. David Porter died. Porter, one of Dansville's first millers, had been a Dansville resident since 1797."
