Thank you for your efforts! Yes...Dear FisherOfMen,<br />Thank you for your efforts! Yes, the 'Clarrie' of the FamilySearch Index is with the CH. It took me a while to find them, given the differences in page references between FamilySearch & Ancestry. I used to be in contact with Isabel some time ago; she laid the foundation for all my Porter research. I'd not seen this succinct summary--Thanks!!<br /><br />I do appreciate your efforts. Is there something I can work on for you?<br />--MHDMHDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06112884037997769189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227235601381982501.post-43852254527136278532010-05-25T19:47:43.072-07:002010-05-25T19:47:43.072-07:00Could not find any record of census on any of my u...Could not find any record of census on any of my usual searches but I did find this on a web site that you may or may not have seen.<br /><br />Name Celim PORTER <br />Lifespan: 1849-1898 <br />Where Born: Colchester, Chittenden County, VT <br />Additional Notes <br />Migration Steps <br />Celim Homer Porter, second son of Homer Porter and Dolly Bates Porter, lived on the ancestral home farm located on Porter Point on Lake Champlain where his greatgrandfather, Thomas Porter, had settled following the Revolutionary War. Thomas had married Abigail Bates, of the prominent colonial family of Simeon Bates. Bates Family Association has all Bates family lines. Family of Thomas Porter and Abigail Bates in book Child\'s Chittenden County Gazetteer of 1882. Ancestors lie buried in the family cemetery at Mallett\'s Bay. The 1850 U.S.Census of Chittendent County VT shows Celim as a 2 year old with his parents and older brother Norton. Brothers Norton and Celim Homer married in Vermont, Norton to Sarah E. Miller in 1869 Celim Homer to Clara Davidson in 1869, and then both families migrated west, to Minnesota. In Minnesota, Celim Homer and Clara with three small sons, now had a daughter Cora. Brother Norton\'s wife died in childbirth and Norton migrated to Great Falls Cascade Co. MT. Celim Homer and Clara moved just across the state line to Big Stone City Grant Co. SD. where they had another son. The Porter sons started a stationery shop and also took up taxidermy as a regular profession. It is said that Celim Homer worked as a laborer. In 1899 Cora Porter was a statuesque beauty. She caught the eye of unmarried businessman Thomas Vandervelde and they were married in 1899. The family appears regularly in both the U.S. and the SD State Censuses. By the time of her wedding, her father Celim Homer Porter had already died of a lingering illness in 1898 in Big Stone City Grant Co. SD. to Swift Conuty, MN in 1880<br />to Big Stone City, Grant County, SD in 1884<br /> <br />Researcher: Isabel Reichert VanderveldeFisherOfMenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695181625492069228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227235601381982501.post-50445119667903688932010-05-25T18:22:26.694-07:002010-05-25T18:22:26.694-07:00This person there too

After the post, I went to play in FamilySearch Pilot, thinking that I haven't run PORTER there for a long time and they've made lots of addtions lately. Sure enough, an index entry for CH Porter showed up for the 1895 Minnesota State Census! It took me quite a while, but I found the image at ancestry.com [the page numbers don't match, and ancestry indexed the family as Portes with the first names & birthplaces funny.<br /><br />So, now I know they family, including Clara and L Willis were in Ortonville, Big Stone, Minnesota in 1895! Another place to look for them in 1900!<br /><br />Also, FamilySearch showed an index entry for Celim for a will in 1898, Lac qui Parle, Minnesota. So, the date I have for his death is looking better. I'll order the associated film.MHDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06112884037997769189noreply@blogger.com
