Edwards-Lincoln-Porter family

The Edwards–Lincoln–Porter family is a family of politicians from the United States. Below is a list of members:

NOTE: Horace Porter's niece, Emma, was married to American Samoa Governor John M. Poyer.

NOTE: Matilda R. Edwards, daughter of Cyrus Edwards, was wooed by Abraham Lincoln while she stayed at the home of her cousin Ninian Wirt Edwards, brother-in-law of Mary Todd, who was also staying there in the winter of 1840-41. She subsequently married Newton Demming Strong, attorney and brother of the Honorable William Strong, who was elected to congress in 1847 and a chief justice of the Supreme Court, sworn in in 1870, thereby connecting the Strong family of politicians to the Edwards–Lincoln–Porter family of politicians. Matilda Edwards Strong and her husband are buried in Charles Evans Cemetery, Reading, PA.
