No, I do not have a county or town for where Theda was born in MA. She did go by the nic-name "Thiddy" on some records. The only clues I have are those listed in my post, that she first appears in the WV census, and old family records passed down to me. My research shows that the name "Theda Porter" is an old, old one out of MA, beginning generations before she would have been born - I thought that was interesting. She must be connected to one of those old families. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
