I have a John Porter who married Harriett Lucas in Shenandoah in 1807-is there any connection? Their son George moved on to Pendleton County and married Sarah Tingler there in 1829 Pat -----Original Message----- From: Marilyn A.

Attention Marilyn A. Willer and to all on the list Over the weekend I tried again to see if anyone might know something about my ggggrandfather Philip Porter b. abt 1754 who m.

VA. He was killed in a hunting accident. He was survived by his wife and eight children. Philip was md. in Frederick Co. VA, 28 Feb. 1786, to Sarah LARGENT. I can only guess at this time as to the identity of his parents. Philip has some connection, possibly brother, to Elias PORTER who md. Margaret SLY in Frederick Co. VA, 28 Feb. 1876. I had forgot about the similar Philip Porter when I wrote to the list a few days ago. Yes I was sent that Philip Porter info some time ago who m. Sarah Largent some time ago. Sadly he is not the same man, and as far as I know no relation. He was b. abt 1765 and died 1800. MY PHILIP PORTER was b about 1754 (that is a pretty good date) and died 1831 in Spencer Co, KY.and we did definitely find that he m. Nancy Ann Brent dau of Captain Charles Innes Brent b 1735 Thank you Marilyn for sending the info on your Philip Porter, Does anyone on the list know anything about the house Winter Hill. It was built by Nancy Ann Brents brother also Charles Brent b. 1765 for his wife Rachel Moore. Thanks in advance to anyone that might know anything about the Brents, Anne Gunnell (Nancy Ann Brents mother) or any Porters.
