Reverend Moses Porter

According to: http://www.henrycort.net/gramhpor.htm -

Son of naval surgeon Richard Porter. The family moved to Hampshire after Moses was baptised (London, St Andrew Undershaft, 21 July 1735) and before his brother Gilbert was baptised (Titchfield, 9 February 1741/2).

Moses’s career takes him into the church. His will names three sons and two daughters. Second son William Warren Porter follows his father into the priesthood; becomes a fellow of his father’s college, St John’s Oxford; but dies in 1804. Eldest son John Fitzroy Porter goes into the Navy, reaching the rank of lieutenant. Youngest son Richard Cornewall also enters the Navy.

Moses Porter serves as lecturer, then curate, at Holy Trinity Clapham from 1768 until his death in 1791.

While curate at Holy Trinity Church, Clapham, he officiated at the wedding in 1778 of George STREET and Maria POWER [see Sources]. Also present at the wedding were George's father Thomas STREET, a stationer, and Maria's father William POWER, gentleman. Moses PORTER, then 43 and having recently started a family, might have taken this opportunity to cement relationships with both families. The STREETS were successful stationers in London. Moses's daughter Mary Ann, born three years later, would eventually marry William STREET, who had become a stationer like his father, grandfather and cousins.

In the obituaries of The Gentleman's Magazine of September 1791 it is stated: "At Atherstone, Co. Warwick, on his return from Buxton, after having been many years a most excruciating sufferer by the gout, Rev. Moses Porter, curate and lecturer of Clapham, Surrey."

She has a distinct recollection of Mr. Moses Porter, the curate in Dr. Stonehouse's time, being carried up into the pulpit because he was paralytic and unable to ascend the staircase.
