Helen asked: << Is anyone doing research on David Dixon PORTER, b. 8 Jun 1813, in Chester, Delaware Co., PA, or his family? He was an Admiral in the US Navy. >> The admiral was a sixth-generation descendant of Alexander Porter of New Castle County, Delaware, whose will was dated 2 Aug 1734. Porter Station, near the family farm, was named for them. A meticulously researched three-installment article "The Three David Porters: Captain, Commodore and Admiral, and Their Delaware Roots," by Franklyn Wynn Paris was published in the Delaware Genealogical Society Journal Vol 1 No. 2, 3 and 4 (October 1981, May and October 1982). Photocopies of all the original documents cited were deposited in the Historical Society of Delaware library.
