About Ann Porter

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

Anyone in the eighteenth century who lives to the age of 86 can be expected to outlive some of his children. Richard’s will (made at the age of about 76) names only three: Ann, Moses and Elizabeth... The same three are named as siblings in the will of Peter Porter, probably the eldest.

It is surely no coincidence that Rachel Porter and her daughters Ann and Elizabeth figure in [Admiral John] Amherst’s will. Indeed, he and Ann appear to be very close: in her will, made in 1802, she will leave much of her estate to his niece.

I give and bequeath unto Ann Porter Spinster Daughter of the above named Rachel Porter and her Executors Administrators and Assigns to and for her and their line and Benefit all the residue and remainder of my Goods Chattels Monies and Securities for Money household ffurniture and all other my personal Estate and Effects whatsoever either at Gosport or elsewhere and of what nature or price or quality soever the same may be payment of my Debts Legacies and ffuneral Expenses and I do hereby nominate constitute and appoint the said Ann Porter sole Executrix of this my last Will and Testament. - From will of Admiral John Amherst.
