THOMAS PORTER (1597 - circa 1668) of Mawdesley, Lancashire, England
son of Henry Porter and Ann Nelson
It appears that Thomas was the only son of Henry Porter and Ann Nelson (a second primary source for Ann is still being sought). It appears that Thomas never married or had children, which is supported by the choice of beneficiaries in his will. He left his estate to the children of his sister, Elizabeth Porter Rose.
