But maybe you will read this comment intended here as a reply to you. Samuel Porter, b. circa 1800 in SC, and his wife, Mary Middleton Porter, were parents of James M. Porter, who first married Eliza Pinkston in Yazoo County, MS and lived most of his life in Attala County, MS. There was another James M. Porter, however, b. circa 1832 in Alabama, who appears on the U. S. Census of 1850, also living in Attala County. I have always believed the two men must have been cousins, but I have no proof. I am also familiar with Capt. Robert Porter, a naval officer who served in the Civil War around Vicksburg and Natchez, but I have found no direct link to Samuel Porter's line.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457670091960461148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4831141837834581845.post-81081804311017090332012-03-02T15:54:50.377-06:002012-03-02T15:54:50.377-06:00I am also from the James M/James John Porter line....I am also from the James M/James John Porter line. From other relatives, I was told that the father of James M was Capt Robert Porter, married to Jane/Jean McCall. Is this inaccurate?<br />I would be interested to know more!<br />My line goes from John James to Minnie Lee Porter Cleveland<br /><br />Sandra Cleveland GIbsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
