(Jerry M.) was my great-grandfather he was born 28 Feb 1859 in Union Twp (Probably on Bear Creek). He was survived by his 2nd wife Clara Childrey. Mary Wilson and John Childrey(obit listed him as a Childress)were actually Jerry's step children. Jerry was 1st married to Emma Jean Goodall Oct 1879 in Union Twp Lawrence Co., Ohio. Emma died abt 1890 and is buried in a unmarked grave a Bradrick. Jerry's son Edgar was my grandfather. Jerry and Edgar were both Baptist Ministers. *******************************************************************************

I'm wondering if J.M. Porter is related to William Lee Porter of Pulaski County, Kentucky who was a Baptist minister. Also his son John January Porter was a Baptist minister.
