Any help greatly >appreciated Samuel Porter and Ellen Faucett were my gg grandparents. Their daughter Lillie Porter married my g grandfather Pleasant Valentine Rhea in 1903. Samuel was married previously to an unknown (to me) woman and had a son by her named William D. Porter. That must be the Will listed above. This is some of the information I have on them. I would be willing to share whatever I can on them. I have more information on both Samuel and Ellen as well as some of the children.
