    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Engart, Ingart, Sizer, Porter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBC.2ACI/382.445.1 Message Board Post: Hi Bill. Your Dolly Davidson rang a bell, as I have one in the family who is the daughter of William and Nancy Evans Engart. From my information (which is sometimes incorrect) Dolly married Thomas Davidson and was a widow by 1845 with three children: Salina, who married Henry C. Hoylman; Tavernon, nothing known about this child; and Rutherford, who married Sarah Frances Melton on 30 Dec 1869 in Kanawha County, W. VA and had at least three children. Dolly then married Ezekial G. Porter, born Campbell County, parents unknown, and they had two children together: Mary Virginia Porter and William S. Porter. I don't have much information on these children. Ezekiel was first married to Matilda Sizer, daughter of John Sizer of Botetourt County.Ezekiel and Matilda had six children who were brought into the marriage between Ezekiel and Dolly. Ezekiel became a master blacksmith and moved his family to Covington, Alleghany County, VA, where, presumably, they both died before 1880. I do not have death dates. I am directly descended from Ezekiel and Matilda Sizer Porter through their last child together, Sarah S. Porter, who married a cousin, Thomas Jefferson Sizer, Jr. Hope that helps - if anyone can help fill in the holes, it would be appreciated. Cheers, Linda
