James Porter born 1760
« on: Tuesday 06 February 18 04:07 GMT (UK) »
Greetings from New Zealand everyone,
I have on my tree James Porter born in Limerick 1760 - died 1840. The information that I have suggests that he married Mary Kendall who was born in 1763. I believe that they had four children:
Rebecca born 1784, Elizabeth born 1786 - died 1843, Thomas born 1788, James who was born and died in 1793, and James who was born in 1794 and died in 1845. I have not been able to verify any of this information so would really appreciate some help with this.
Elizabeth married Bassett Dickson and they emigrated to Australia in 1829.
If anyone can tell me anything more about these people I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you for that. :)
The earliest Dickson that I have is Bassett Dickson 1710 - 1768; married Elizabeth Vokes 1715 -??
