• Notes

  "March 22nd, of the year of our Lord 1826 is born the son of Jos. Jaques Porlier, named David Jacques Porlier...". [UWGB-Green Bay Special Collections 75 - Jacques Porlier File] ‘Catherine Boyds' and 'James D. Porlier' were married in Brown Co., WI. Their marriage certificate was dated August 7, 1850. James Porlier served in the Wisconsin Infantry, 44th Regt. during the Civil War and afterwards worked as a farmer and laborer in Brown County. "The Death of a Pioneer James D. Porlier, who died at DePere last week. ranked as one of the pioneers of the Fox River Valley. His father, Jacques J. Porlier, was early connected with the public affairs of this part of then, Michigan Territory; and was appointed Justice of the peace, county commissioner, and chief justice of Brown county, by Lewis Cass as Governor of Michigan Territory in the year 1820, and was also captain of a volunteer company that rendered service against Black Hawk and his warriors in that short but memorable war. His mother--who became Mrs. Agatha DesMarteau by a second marriage--it will be remembered died several years ago; and was eminent for her zeal as an assistant to the Rev. Van den Brock in that worthy man's attempt to christianize the barbaric red man. James D. Porlier was born at Green Bay, Wis., March 22d, 1826, and excepting his term of service as a private in Co. F. 44th Reg. Inf. of Wis. Vols. has always resided in this state. His wife, a niece of James M. Boyd, survives him, having left to console her, a large family of sons and daughters. By the banks of the Fox river, the spot which now is the site of South Kaukauna, he sported in his childhood with his brother Louis G. and his sister, Mary L., the former now a resident of Hammond, Ind., and the later Mrs. William Lamuro of Buchanan, and they saw that hollowed childhood spot become a city, changing from its primitive wilderness, the condition in which they first beheld it and residing there, while their parents labored to render this county tolerant for the abode of civilized man. Let us, in all reverence for those long departed, and in commemoration of his services as a brave soldier, and as on that done well his humble part in the world's work--join in the prayer that he sleeps in the Lord." [The Kaukauna Times, 13 March 1891] Children: Joseph, Agathe, Mary Louise, James M., Alexander D., Charlotte Sophia, Louis, Opalane (Apolone), & Anton.
