SIMEON PORTER: OHIO ARCHITECT

 

1. The chief source of information on the early life of the Porter family is the

manuscript of Mrs. Henry Farwell, granddaughter of Lemuel Porter. Unless otherwise

indicated, it is the source of the early biographical data throughout. It is located in the

Hudson Historical Society, Hudson, Ohio.

2. Edmund W. Sinnott's Meetinghouse and Church in Early New England (New

York, 1963) illuminates the probable relationship of the Hoadley and Porter churches.

According to Mrs. Farwell, Porter and Hoadley had been apprenticed as boys to the

same wooden-clock maker at the same time.

1943), 471.

buildings in the work cited above, 184ff.
