CLARK T. PORTER, jailer and proprietor of the Farmer's House, Morgantown, 
was born on the Big Bend of the Green River, five miles north of 
Morgantown, May 22, 1822.  There he was reared until the age of twelve, 
when his parents removed to the north bank of the Green River, near 
Wilson's Ferry, and later to the mouth of Indian Camp Creek.  His first 
wife was Adeline Harreld, to whom he was married in 1844.  The fruit of 
this union was three children: Mary Elizabeth, wife of Jasper C. Berry; 
Buena Vista, the widow of Granville Hampton, and Nancy Helen, the wife 
of Samuel Austin.  Mr. Porter's second marriage was with Margaret Ellen 
Austin, in September, 1858.  To her there were born seven children, four 
now living: Robert Benjamin, Ann Eliza, John C. and Margaret R.  The 
death of Mr. Porter's second wife occurred in 1878.  His third wife was 
Nancy C. Berry, the widow of Moses C. Berry.  Her children by her former 
husband are James William, Samuel Ridley, Virgil, Martha Jane, and Thomas 
Newton.  Mr. Porter's father was Benjamin Porter, and his mother was 
Mary (Proctor) Porter; the former a native of Butler County and the 
latter of Logan County.  His grandfather was Col. John Porter, of 
Virginia, a Revolutionary soldier, and one of the earliest settlers of 
Butler County.  Mr. Porter followed agriculture until September, 1882, 
when he was elected jailer for the county of Butler, and removed to 
Morgantown.  December 1, 1883, he commenced keeping the hotel on the 
corner of Main and Ohio Streets, known as the Farmer's Hotel.  He and 
his family are members of the Baptist Church, and he is known as a 
gentleman of strict integrity.
