I have a lot of information on the family that I would be happy to share. According to my research we are not directly descended from Bartholomew Laporte of Azilum, although we might be descended from his supposed brother John. Anson had a pretty interesting family. One of his brothers got drunk and murdered his best friend and was convicted in a sensational murder trial. Another one of his brothers never recovered from his Civil War experience and died in an asylum. And so forth. ---------- I found this information most interesting as I came across Jack LaPorte when I was researching James Irvin. It was written up in "Echos in Warrior Mark" which states Jack spent six years in prison and then returned to Tyrone. He died in 1907 and is buried in Graysville Cemetery.
