Greetings, I am David Rittenhouse Porter, born on October 31, 1788, near Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. I had the honor of serving as the ninth governor of Pennsylvania during a time of significant political unrest and change. My family's history is deeply intertwined with the founding and development of our nation, with my father, Andrew Porter, playing a pivotal role as a Revolutionary War officer. I look forward to discussing further insights and aspects of my life and contributions to our beloved state.
