Note

BIRTH: Barbour Collection of Farmington Vital Records, F.H.L. book 974.6 V2wL, Vol. 12, p. 314. Two birthdates are recorded for Seth, March 6 and March 25, both record "Seth, son Elijah." "Seth Porter came from Farmington to Goshen in 1784. He was a wheelwright by trade, and a surveyor. He removed about 1806." ("History of Goshen," F.H.L. book 964.61/G1 H2h, p. 47.) GOSHEN: In a letter from Barbara L. Breor, Goshen Town Clerk, April 20, 2006, in possession of Janet S. Porter a copy of Goshen file cards (no reference) lists Seth Porter, son of Elijah Porter of Farmington. In the "History of Goshen", p. 47 "Seth Porter of Farmington came in 1784. He removed in 1806, a surveyor and wheelwright." "Seth Porter from Farmington came to Goshen in 1784. He was a wheelwright by trade...best known as a surveyer of lands. He had much to do... many years until he removed...1806 or 7." ("History of Goshen," by A.G. Hibbard, FHL book 974.61/G1, H2h, p. 47.) 1790 CENSUS: Litchfield/Goshen (they were enumerated together) 1800 CENSUS: Goshen There is a Seth Porter in Rutland County Vermont in Grantor land records 1:47.LAND RECORDS: Rutland County, Vermont, F.H.L. film 28,704,item 1, p. 376, Grantor index. Seth Porter Grantor index, 1:47. Seth and his brother Elijah are named in Anna Porter's probate. She is the wife of their second cousin Ebenezer whose son Thomas was in Cornwall. They all moved to Rutland, Vermont later so it's obvious they were close.
