    3. I am seeking information on William Porter, born 1/5/1864 in Deson, Iowa-died 9/14/1932 in Bourbon County, Kansas. (my g-grandfather) He was married to Martha Jane Proctor, born 3/8/1866 and died on 12/10/1953 in Bourbon County, Kansas. They are both buried at Lath Branch Cemetary (just east of Fort Scott) which I have been led to believe the land was donated by the Proctors at some point in time. According to his obituary, Fannie Hall is listed as his mother. No father is listed. There was also a Charles Porter born in the later part of the century whose father was James Richard Porter (a full blooded Cherokee). I can't seem to tie in how these Porters fit in together, but I do have an obituary for Charles which lists his father as James Richard, so they must have all been related somehow as they were all in the same box of obituaries my aunt had saved. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.
