Edward Porter (1813-1892) and his wife, Clarissa Powell Porter (1819-1872) and their children migrated from Illinois to Cass County, Iowa, in about 1856. They were amongst the early settlers of Edna Township. . EDWARD PORTER DONATED A HILLSIDE OF HIS FARM (WHICH HE HAD PURCHASED FROM Wm. TOWNSEND), FOR A COMMUNITY BURIAL GROUND. In days-gone-by, this early cemetery / burial ground was known as the "Porter Cemetery," or the "Edna" cemetery. It is now named the "Reno Methodist Cemetery." Edward & Clarissa Porter and many of their descendants are buried in this small cemetery. Indeed, Porter/Powell descendants continue to be laid-to-rest in this rural Cass County, Iowa, cemetery -- even today. . [End]. . SOURCE: Research of Cathy Porter-Maynard, gg granddaughter of Edward Porter and Clarissa (Powell) Porter. . -- -- -- -- -- IMPORTANT NOTE: NAME CLARIFICATION. "Clarissa Richardson POWELL Porter". . I frequently utilize CAPITAL LETTERS to emphasize which name/surname is my gg grandmother's MAIDEN name ('Powell'), in an effort to unmuddle some of the internet confusion regarding her name(s). i.e., Her maiden name was 'Powell' and her middle name was 'Richardson' and her married name was 'Porter,' which has led some genealogy researchers to assume that Clarissa Richardson Powell Porter was married twice or more (to a Powell, to a Richardson and/or to a Porter), etc., even though she had but one* husband. Thanks for your patience, in trying to decipher the 'multiple' names & surnames of my great grandmother. (It probably would have been a bit less confusing, if her parents had chosen "Gladys" for a middle name, but I do prefer the old family-tradition of using the maiden name of the mother, for a middle name of a daughter or son). For anyone who has been confused by my great great grandmother's name(s), I hope this note clarifies the issue. To reiterate, I have capitalized her 'maiden name' to help differentiate between the three names -- which, superficially, all appear to be surnames. Thank-you. . __________________________________ .

Per memoir of A.J. Finley,my GGGrandfather. 1839, Illinois. "We reached Edward Porter's where Sylvester Bamber now lives. Mr. Porter was a cousin of my mother and lived in the only frame dwelling house in this settlement at that time. I think the house was 16 X 18 feet, one story high. He and his wife and brother occupied the house and when we arrived they were increased by my father and mother and six children, my grandfather, Catherine Porter - a sister of the Porter boys. *, and a young man who came with us, making fourteen in all." ~ Thank you for this fine act, from S.
