They leave MD about 1760 and go to the Granville,Bute ,Orange, Guilford, Edgecombe Cos in NC.They are suspected Regulators, soooo, they leave for SC about 1770 or so and mostly settle in Abbeville. After the Rev War, when GA starts handing out land to Vets from anywhere...the bulk move out. From 1730, some Porter or another keeps popping in and out of the cluster...they live next door, they buy at an estate auction, they witness this and that. In 1730, a crucial character in my lineage is harbored by a Porter. Please tell me about your Porters. Maryellen
