  Notes	Moses Porter settled near Wellersburg, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, just after he and his brother John helped with the survey of the Mason-Dixon Line after 1763. It is likely that he moved over the state line into Maryland with his brother. Moses and John served in the Revolutionary War in Captain Paxton's Bedford County Militia (Pennsylvania Archives, 5th Series, Vol. V, p. 116). Moses Porter's will was probated in Allegany County, Maryland, on 5 January 1795. The will was dated 10 July 1794, and mentions his wife Margaret, sons Aaron, John William, Joshua, Bethel,Thomas, and Moses, and daughters Eleanor and Sarah. His real estate included lots 3395 and 3396 in addition to 37.5 acres. The executors were his wife Margaret and his brother John. Witnesses were William Shaw, Aaron Mackenzie, and Michael Porter. He was probably the father of the Thomas Porter whose daughter Margaret married John W. Magruder.
