Nearly all the families bearing the name of Porter, in the United States, can trace their origin ~o a very few imigrant ancestors. RICHARD PORTER, Settled in Weymouth, Mass., in 1635. He was my ancestor; and a few years since, although not especially fitted for such a work by education or occupation, I began a Genealogy of his descendants. It has been a work demanding patience and persistence, but it has been a pleasure. The ·very many pleasant letters received from members of the family, in nearly every state and territory in the union, containing information and encouragement, I would here gratefully remember. I give in this little book the result, not that it is perfect or complete1 but it is what I have. JOHN PORTER. Of Hingham, and Salem, was at Hingham in 1635-not more than three miles distant from Richard Porter, at Weymouth. I believe they were brothers, but have no positive proof of tile fact. In the course of my researches, I have accumulated much information relating to the earlier generations of this· highly respectable family; with some accounts of later generations. I have concluded to print what I have, hoping that it may be 4 GENE.A.LOGY. of some benefit, by the way of assistance towards· a more complete Genealogy of this family, and of interest until that is accomplished. JOHN PORTER, of Windsor, Conn., settled there, 1638, and said to have been previously at Dorchester, Mass. Hon. Samuel W. Porter, of Rochester, New York, Henry Porter Andrews, of New York City, and Rev. Edward C. Porter, of Racine, Wis., have given much time and research to a. Genealogy of this family, the last named gentleman having prosecuted his work in England. ROBERT and THOMAS PORTER, brothers, were of the eighty-four proprietors of Farmington, Conn., in 1640. Tho first named was ancestor of President Noah Porter, of Yale College. ' DANIEL PORTER, surgeon, of Farmington, Conn., before 1653, said by one authority to have been a brother of Robert and Thomas, of that town. ABEL PORTER, of Boston, Mass., admitted to the church there Jan. 23, 1641. JOHN_ PORTER, of Roxbury, freeman, Nov. 5, 1633, removed to Boston, where in March, 1636, he was appointed by court a referee in a case John Burr vs. Mr. Dummer. He was a follower of Rev. John Wheelwright and Ann Hutchin­ son, in their "seditious doctrines," and (with others,) was warned before the 30th of November, 1637, to deliver up his guns, pistols, powder, shot and match, at Mr. Cane's house in Boston, there to be kept till further orders by the court. "March 12, 1638, John Porter and others • • • having license to depart, summon::i is to go out for them to appear (if "they are not gone before,) at the next court, the third month, to answer such things as shall be objected." Judge Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary of New England, saya that "he removed to Rhode Island, signed their compact in 1688; was an assistant in 1641, and after for some years. Lived in Portsmouth, R. I., in 1655, and at Wickford, R. I., 1674. • Hazard II, 612." It has been by some thought that PORTER. FAMILIES, 5 • this man was·the same as John, of Hingham and Salem, but I do not see how such can be the case. There are some other families who have come into the country since 1800, from England, Ireland, and the British Provinces. JOSEPH W. PORTER. Burlington, Maine, 1878. NOTE-Where no state is named in connection with towns, Massachusetts is the state, except in cases of well known cities. RICHARD PORTER, Settled in Weymouth, Mass., in 1635. In the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 25, page 13, is a "list of passengers at Weymouth, England, :\farch 30, 1635, bound for New England," in which is the name of Richard Porter. In this list, also, are the names of other men, who settled at vVeymouth, some of whose descendants of the same names continue there until this day. Rev. Joseph Hull, minister; Massachiel Barnard, of Badcomb, in the county of Somerset; John Whitmarsh, -William Reed, of Ba<lcomb; Zechary Bick­ nell, Henry Kingman, Thomas Holbrook, Robert Lovell and others. "July 8, 1635, the General Court granted leave to Mr. Hull, a minister,_ and twenty-one families, to sit down at W essaguscus." September 2d, 1835, the General Court changed the name of W essaguscus to vVeymouth, so named, no doubt, for Wey­ mouth, England. During the late war, the selectmen had occasion to look up the incorporation of the town, and found no other authority to act as a town, than this. - For _two hundred ancl forty-three years, Weymouth has been the only ancient town in Massach,usetts, with possibly one exception, which has preserved its original boundaries. Nothing has been added, nothing taken away. Long may the old town continue before it is cut up into insignificance. The town records of Weymouth, prior to 1648, are very meagre. Io that year and in 1654, 1661, 1663, and 1668, grants of la.nd were made to Richard Porter. lfor many years 8 GENE.A.LOGY. he was continually in office as selectman, constable, and upon committees; he was a member of the original church, and the name of "brother Richard Porter" often occurs on the old records. He lived not far from where the meeting house of the North Parish, in Weymouth, now stands; probably between there and the old burial ground. In 1651 a road was laid out between Richard Porter's meadow and Stephen French's land. In 1663 the town v~ted "that the flats upon the back river shall be let out for town's use for the ensuing year, for the thatching of houses, and this to be done by the selectmen. By flats we understand all these flats on this side of river, begining at Snooke's Marsh until you come to the upper end of Richard Porter's marsh.". In 1673 Abiah Whitman and Thomas Hunt, were appointed fence viewers for "middle of the town so far as the brook that runs by Richard Porter's house." In 1661 brother Richard Porter, John Rane, John Bicknell, Stephen French, ancl John Porter, chosen committee to repair meeting house. "Bro. Bicknell, for making the meeting house tite, 3 pounds." The name of his wife · was probably Ruth, and he was probably married after arriving in this country. On Boston records is the following birth: "Ruth, daughter of Richard Porter, born at Weymouth, Oct. 3, 1639." He died between Dec. 25, 1688, tho date of his will, and March 6, 1689, the date of . the inventory ·of his estate. I give a copy of his will which I found in the Suffolk Probate office, unrecorded. I, Richard Porter, of Weymouth, 1n New England, being appre­ hensive of my near approaching departure out of this worhl, and being through the mercy of God of a. short memory and disposing mind ; trusting in the mercy of God through ye Lord Jesus Christ for Etternall Life: Do make this my last will and testament as folowth: Item: I do give and bequeath unto my grandchild, Thomas Porter, the only sone of my sone Thomas Porter, deceased, my now dwelling house and barn and orchard, the swampy meadow. and ye land adjoin­ ing fl'rom ye swampy land of James Lovelll, and Joseph Dyer, down­ ward along by ye country highway, so far as the gate by which wee did turne out of the highway into ye feild comouly called ye mlddle gate, and from that gate erase ye feild upon a streight line into ye land now in ye ocupation of John Blanchett (Illanchard.)

  • Oral History Interview with Sam Wyly
    An Interview with SAM WYLY OH 374 Conducted by David Allison on 6 December 2002 Smithsonian National Museum of American History Washington, D.C. Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Technology University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright 2004, Charles Babbage Institute Sam Wyly Interview 6 December 2002 Abstract Wyly begins by recounting his childhood, and education prior to going to work for IBM’s Service Bureau Corporation, and then joining Honeywell as an area sales manager. He discusses how he left Honeywell to form University Computer Corporation (UCC), a firm that sold computer time, but transitioned into a software services business. Wyly explains his growing focus on computing and telecommunications, his formation of Datran, and his unsuccessful attempt to acquire Western Union. Much of the interview focuses on ongoing developments at UCC, the eventual sale of this firm to Computer Associates, his formation of Sterling Software, its acquisition of Informatics, the sale of Sterling, and his ideas on the future of information technology. Throughout Wyly’s discussion of UCC and Sterling, he elucidates upon his leadership philosophy, and the strategic, technical, operational, and financial management of these firms. This oral history was sponsored by the Software History Center in conjunction with the Center's ADAPSO reunion (3 May 2002). Preface As part of its preservation activities, the Software History Center (SHC) worked with Dr. David Allison of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History and Dr. Jeffrey Yost of the Charles Babbage Institute to plan and conduct a number of oral history interviews of early software company founders and other key industry contributors.

    RICE UNIVERSITY TWO PATHS TO COMMAND: COMMAND SYSTEMS OF THE UNION AND THE CONFEDERACY, 1861-1865 by LEONARD JOSEPH FULLENKAMP A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE: Frank E7 Vandiver, Professor of History" Chairman -Lnpi A (PTJXJULAXK. Ira D. Gruber, Professor of History S.w, HigginbotMu# Professor of History HOUSTON, TEXAS MAY 1979 ABSTRACT TWO PATHS TO COMMAND: COMMAND SYSTEMS OF THE UNION AND THE CONFEDERACY, 1861-1865 by Leonard Joseph Fullenkamp. A parallel look at the command systems of the Union and the Con¬ federacy as they evolved during the Civil War in part explains why the war was fought the way it was and why it lasted four years. Both na¬ tions began the war with national command systems which were il1- equipped to control the huge armies which eventually were formed. Ul¬ timately, after numerous costly mistakes, the North was able to achieve an effective command system which contributed to the Union victory. The South was never able to develop a command system which provided for the efficient utilization of its forces. At the beginning of the Civil War Abraham Lincoln exercised general control over the Union's armies while the details of military command remained in the hands of General-in-Chief Winfield Scott. Neither Scott nor his successor, George McClellan, were able to provide the effective leadership demanded by the President. Dissatisfied with the strategic direction of the war by his generals Lincoln assumed their duties him¬ self and for a time functioned as both the commander-in-chief and general- in-chief.
