Thomas married Penelope House and by her had seventeen children. By 1830, they already had six children as the 1830 census (two sons and four daughters), but unfortunately they did not name every member of the household until 1850, and all his children except for one had left by then. One daughter mentioned in the 1830 census is that of Adaline Porter, who would have been only one year of age. If all the children in the 1830 census were indeed their children, Penelope would have had their first child at the age of either 14 or 15. From what I have gathered, here are the children of Thomas and Penelope House Porter:
1. unknown daughter (b. ca.1820-1821)
2. Mary Ann Porter Pitt (b. 1824-1883)
3. John Porter (1825-1874)
4. unknown son
5. unknown daughter
6. Adaline Porter Jones (1829-1912)
7. William Porter (1831-after 1880)
8. Richard Porter (1833-?)
9. Thomas Porter (1834-?)
10.Martha Porter (1836-?)
11.Susan E. Porter Murphy (1838- after 1870)
12.Malachi Porter (1839-1909)
13.Sarah A. Porter (1842-?)
14.Robert Porter (1843-?)
15.Henry W. Porter (1845-1916)
16.Edward Cheatham Porter (1846-1919)
17.Penelope Porter Porter (1848-1925)
