>From 'History of Warren Co' by Schenck: 'Willis H Houghtling started a business in hardware about three years and a half ago, and In November, 1886, first occupied his present quarters (Freehold Township).' 'Houghtling, W H., Bear Lake p.o., Freehold, general hardware merchant is one of the most enterprising business men in the county.' 'Porter, Abraham V., Warren, was born in Reading, Steuben county, NY, on October 28, 1810, and came to Warren county in 1831, and assisted in building the first stone jail in Warren, He settled in Conewango with his mother in 1832, on the farm he now owns and occupies, all of which he has cleared and improved himself. The log cabin in which he first resided is still standing. He was a son of Robert and Nelling (Houghtaling) Porter. He was married in 1836 to Margaret Snyder, who was a daughter of William and Hannah Snyder, of Glade township. They have had a family of thirteen children born to them, nine of whom have grown to maturity -- Maria, Sarah, Alice, Emma J., John W., Norman, William, Delia, and Belle. William now resides on the homestead and carries on the farm. He was married on October 16, 1882, to Maggie Brown, a daughter of Alexander Brown, of Glade township. They have had one chid born to them -- Clyde.' There is also a short paragraph on their son: John W. Hope this helpful.
