Woolsey To whom Dr. Porter was so much indebted for his start in life was b. in Ireland in 1748. He followed a sea faring life from early boyhood to the age of 30 years when he immigrated to this country and joined the continental army, in which he commanded a company, at the close of the war he settled on the farm on which Dr. Porter resided. He m. Margaret Goe, who had immigrated to these parts co-temporary with Col. Edward Cook and many other well known early settlers. The common mode of traveling in those days was something different from that in use now a days. When the Goe family immigrated the children were carried in baskets suspended on each side of the horse - white and black mixed together, and on the way the races would occasionally kick up a fuss which would require the intervention of the parents and master to settle. The Capt. though very eccentric in manner and customs had many good qualities of heart, and was very peculiar in his likes and dislikes. The few older citizens now living yet recall his peculiar traits of character.
