I have been looking for some time for a John January PORTER, who died sometime after 1904 -- but not too long after. He was circuit-riding Baptist preacher who spent some time in KY and some in MO. His last church, before he died early, was in Winchester, KY. I cannot find him, or find out who his parents are. I have always wondered where that middle name January came from. Now I am wondering if maybe there is a connection to this JANUARY family you mentioned. When you were looking them up, did you happen to notice any intermarriages with any PORTERs?
