Frances (Porter) Emery - Unlikely daughter of Nathaniel Porter

Yes and if you read down into the 1982. It says assusumed or has been given as Frances porter daughter of Nathaniel. This was a combination of real search by several descendants of Anthony

I on cell phone can you go down in Anthony's and bold the section on Frances it in brackets says some days dau of. An no documentation found. My laptop will not load up grrrr. And desktop at. Culver house trying to get on laptop

I was able to go to Culver get on deskl op and bold and capitalize the info on Frances

m 2nd Frances PORTER [SOME HAVE STATED d/o Nathaniel Porter of Ipswich, Ma. BUT NO PROOF HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORTH to prove or disprove the statement; she is the only wife named for him, but she appears only in the period 1649-1660 and seems likely to have been a second (or perhaps later) wife and not the mother of his children.]

Anthony's bio was a combined project of many of his descendants - since he was very much neglected in the 1890 book -

It seems that people have read into the statement above what the wanted to believe -

I am not sure how they came up with deciding her maiden name - but t reading the full comment as written does not state she was d/o Nathaniel Porter only that some THINKS/THOUGHT that she was.
