Records of William Porter

Porter, William, merchant of Fredericksburg, married Miss Polly Duncanson, daughter of the late James Duncanson, Esq., of this place [Fredericksburg], on Thursday last at the seat of James Duncanson in Culpeper County. [Virginia Herald and Fredericksburg and Falmouth Advertiser, 6 September 1796; The Republican Citizen and Farmers and Planters Chronicle, 7 September 1796, Page 268 in Headley].

Note: a Familysearch submission shows William Porter marrying Polly McCauley on 1 September 1796 in Culpeper County, VA, which conflicts with the above announcement.
