It seems a lot of my folk left MD or VA traveled through KY (having children along the way) and moved on to Washington Co, IN, Orange Co, IN, and Crawford Co, IN on their way to Clay Co, IL. Does this sound like any of your lines? Some of the specifics are: Nicholas Brent Porter b 10-May-1763 Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co, VA D 4-Jan-1835 Washington Co, IN This Rev. War veteran seems to have made stops in Culpepper Co, VA and Jefferson Co, KY on his way to Indiana. Nicholas married Nancy Hall, perhaps b on MD. They married 24-Feb-1796. Nicholas Brent Porter's mother was a Mary Brent. Who were her parents? Who were the parents of his father Nicholas Porter? Most of Nicholas Brent Porter's children ended up in Clay Co, IL. My line is of his son David S. Porter. B 24 May 1811 in KY, d 29-Jan-1877 in Clay Co, IL David married Abigail Hains b KY in Orange Co, IN 15-Feb-1838.
