General Notes: Husband - John Ewing Porter

---

He studied the law in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the office of his brother, Robert, and entered on the practice of his profession in April, 1805, in the counties of Chester and Montgomery. His fine appearance and address soon gave him a good position at the bar. Having entered into a matrimonial engagement, which was broken in a way that incurred the censure of his father, the father wrote sharply, and the son resented the interference deeply. The latter immediately changed his name to that of Parker (his mother's maiden name), and took a resolution, which he sternly kept, not to see his father again. He journeyed on horseback southward, and, arriving in North Carolina, changed his profession, and, after studying that of medicine, became a successful and useful physician. He died unmarried.
