Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of William T. Porter
Though Col. Porter was a devoted Royalist, he did not inherit that faith, his father being a zealous Whig. There is an amusing testimony to the fact in the records of the Committee of Safety of New Hamp shire, as it seems that the son was apprehended on suspicion of Toryism about the year 1777, and dis charged from arrest on giving bond in the sum of �500 that he would repair forthwith to his father in Boxford, and not depart from his farm for the term of one year, except to attend divine serviee on the Lord's day. The Committee may have been over zealous at any rate he was ever faithful and loyal to the new government, under Whose protection he lived and prospered for so many years.
