Are they ancestors of your George Portlock? My line goes: John Portlock (m. Sarah Dougherty) > Thomas Samuel Portlock (m. Ellen Jane Phemister) > James Portlock (m. Elsie Ann Hunter) > Ethel Jane Portlock (m. Charles Allen Charlton) (my grandparents) > Anna Mae Charlton Stephens (mother) > Etta Stephens Withers (me). Could you share with me your George's line of Portlocks and your locale? Thanks very kindly for any light you can shine in the darkness. <smile> Etta in Texas
