    1. [MOJEFFER] Porter Families 1850 - 1870 Censuses
    2. Okay -- I'm confused. Iobviously have a mistake, but can't figure out where... 1850 - HH 954. Distr. 42: David Porter age 54 is shown with presumed wife Rebecca and children David, Elizabeth F., Robert J., Cinthia C., Jeremirah, Mary O., Felix G., Joseph J. and Enoch W. Who are the parents of this David? (He is shown living adjacent to the residence of Joseph T. McMullen, age 45. I have Jane or Jean McMullin marrying David McMullin about 1815.) Is this the same David? Or a completely different one? Then there's William Porter age 26 with wife Rebecca age 20 shown in HH 940 in Distr. 42. in 1850. Because Thomas Porter and James Porter are shown in HH #941 and 942, respectively, I assume these are the 3 sons of the same names of David and Jane/Jean Porter. BUT - in 1870, Rebecca Porter is shown heading HH # 163in Plattin Twp wiath children Frances, Enoch, Jefferson, Mary, and Jacob. The ages of the older children roughly correspond to those shown in the 1850 census of David and Rebecca (assuming that some of the Initials shown in the 1850 50 census are used as given names by the 1870 census.) So who are these people. How do they fit together? and Who is the Rebecca shown with William in 1850? Assistance would be greatly appreciated! Jerri Eoff Sudderth
