Posted on: Sangamon County, Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Sangamon/1928 Surname: PORTER, WILLIAMS, ILES, ORENDORF, BLACK, KINHART, GERMAN, IVES ------------------------- Lydia Porter, daughter of Asa Porter of Lima, Livingston Co. NY, married John Williams in Springfield, Sangamon Co. IL 10 May 1840. Their children were Louise who married George Nelson Black; Albert who married Lucy Ives; John Edward; Julia Jayne who married Alfred Orendorff; George who married Jane Ann German; Henry Carter who married Linie Kinhart. My problem is with the ancestry of Lydia Porter. I descend from her sister, Mary Elizabeth Porter who married Wellington Fayette Mills in Menard County, IL. Does anyone researching any of these other families have any information on the Porter ancestry? Thank you.
