Almira T Porter

Almira T was born in Taylor, Cortland Co., New York (known as Solon, New York) to Elijah and Mary Porter. The US Census in 1850 shows Almira and her family sharing a residence with her parents in the same town she was born. At this time, Almira is living with her husband Danforth Ainsworth and her son Richmond. Dansforth is listed as a 22 year old laborer. Almira is listed at 19 years old on the 12th day of August in 1950. This means her birthday was between August 13, 1930 through August 12, 1931. Richmond is listed as of one year old. Since they are living in the same residence as her parents, it does not list the rent they must pay.

Almira's birthplace, Solon New York, was organized in 1798 per the Historical collections of the state of New York: containing a general ... By John Warner Barber, Henry Howe written in 1842. Also from this publication, the current population was 2,311 and had two post offices (Solon and East Solon).
