Note	BIRTH She was born 12 January 1750. (Salisbury Town Clerk: Record of Births, Deaths, Marriages and Town Meetings, 1740-1848, FHL film 1509740 item 1, p. 184. Also recorded Barbour Collection of Salisbury Vital Records, F.H.L. book 974.6 V2w1 Vol 53, p. 243.) "Abigail, daughter Nathaniel Porter and Abigail born in Woodbury." Salisbury VR 1:184. MARRIAGE IGI gives her marriage 10 September 1772 to Samuel Upham in Lebanon, Tolland, CT. However, that is extremely unlikely. Her entire family moved to Massachusetts and New York about that time, and it's unlikely she took off 150 miles east on her own. I believe the IGI marriage is a matching error.
