Phillip Porter

In 1779 Phillip was deeded a 56 Acre Parcel called "Porters Hall" from Thomas Porter. Located off of Deer Park Road near Soldiers Delight in Reisterstown, MD. The property is located behind the Deer Park Methodist Church. In 1821 Phillip Porter of Frederick Co., MD deeded the property to Elijah Porter of Fred. Co. Can find no record of transfer until 1882 & 83.

Not sure how it happened but Phillip apparently died intestate and the property was inherited by my GGGG Grandmother Elenora Nash (A Porter I think). She was born in approx. 1779 and died after 1850. A deed in 1883 refers to the transfer in 1779 and says that the same Phillip Porter was her father. She is likely buried there on the property along with 20-30 other unmarked graves. Know that there are Nash's, Murrays, Merrymans(I think) buried there.
