In an old book on "Abstract of Wills", Bladen County, one dated September 30, 1757, Samuel Porter: Sons-James, John, Hugh & Samuel Jr. I'm pretty sure Samuel lived in what is now Sampson County owning land on the Great Cohaire Swamp. Also, Samuel Jr received a 200ac land grant between Bryan's Swamp and the Two mile swamp,No 424. About my Porters.
