     Soon after their marriage, Dr., and Mrs. Porter removed to Waterford at the extreme south end of Saratoga County; and here they lived the rest of their lives and were buried. Dr. Porter became the best and most favorably known physician of the neighborhood. His funeral is said to have been one of the largest ever held in Waterford. He died of apoplexy while returning from a professional visit at Pittstown, in Rensellaer County. He was found dead at the roadside, his lancet in hand; from which it is inferred that he know the seriousness of the attack and was doing what he could to ward it off. His widow died four years later. Dr. Porter kept in close touch with his brother, Joseph, at Pawlet, and had regular correspondence with him. Many of these letters refer to the state of their mother's health; and at one period there is frequent mention of Moses, a son of Joseph Porter, who was then residing with his uncle's family.
     ELIJAH, the first child of Dr. and Mrs. Porter, died in infancy.
     MARY, the second child, married JOHN STRACHAN, 2nd.

IRA SCOTT, their oldest child, studied law at Harvard University and in his uncle's office, and shortly after entering upon its practice moved to Marshall Michigan and later to Chicago, Illinois, where he was for years a Master in Chancery of one of the Courts.
