According to William Henry Egle, State Librarian of Pennsylvania, Elizabeth Parker Porter was born 15 Nov 1750 in what is now Montgomery County PA, After the death of her husband in Harrisburg, she returned to Montgomery County where she died 18 May 1821 and is buried in the old Presbyterian Cemetery in Norritown. As many other Porters are buried there including her husband's parents, Egle is probably correct. See Egles Notes and Queries, Annual Volume, 1898, pp 141-3.
