I find no listing for him after 1830. Hugh may have been related to Silas Porter who died in Hancock Co about 1852. I have a copy of the probate documents for Silas. Silas is listed in the 1850 census in Brandywine twp of Hancock Co. Silas was born in PA. Silas is listed in the 1830 census in Fayette City, Fayette co IN. I would also like any additional info on Silas.

There is a Hugh Porter listed in the 1820 IN census, in Franklin Co. He is listed as being born before 1775 and among his children, he has two sons age 10 - 16.

There is a Hugh Porter listed in the tax records for Fayette Co, IN in 1829.

I do not know if the Franklin Co, Fayette Co and Hancock Co Hugh Porter listings are for the same person. I suspect they are. Thank you so much for your help. Sue Ellen Porter PO Box 60155, Sunnyvale, CA 94088-0155, Phone 408-735-7507. Email 73760.766@compuserve.com

in response to query posted by Randall J. Slater on Mon, 13 Apr 1998

I have known various members of the Schlichte family for many years--back to the times when they operated several Schilchte Grocery Stores. You might try writing directly to the following names: (all in Connersville, IN 47331)
Norman Schlichte, 1931 Vermont Ave. 765/825-2289 (father)
Robert A. Schlichte, 1931 Vermone Ave. 765-2289 (son)
Wm. W. Schlichte, 1104 Gregg Rd. 765-1990
Norman may be the last of several brothers in business together. One was Vincent who died about 1980. Another was Freddie who left C'ville about 1960. Good luck. D. MacDaniel
