I know this isn't your Philip - but I've been renting films on Minister's Returns for Shenandoah county 1772-1877 - yes, almost 100 years scattered amongst 3 films, lol. I haven't ordered the third one yet though. I HAVE scanned the early marriages, whether I had people on them or not, just because I know how hard to find they are. This is the only Porter I found on either of the films. Let me know if you are interested in the scan. Its easy enough to email it to you 1798 - John County? to Nelly Porter (2167845_837) the only other reference I have is "Records of Indentured Servants and of Certificates for Land Northumberland County , VA 1650-1795" by Preston Haynie p263 1601. 17 Nov. 1726 - Robert ROSS, servant of one Frances PORTER of Talbert County in Maryland, having run away from his said Master & taken up by Cary KEBLE of the Dividing Creek & lyeing in this County['s] goal seventy six days.

I am continuing my search for the parents of Philip Porter b. 1750 in VA, not sure exactly where but he was in Stafford, Loudoun and Frederick Co. VA, however, I realize he may not have move but the county names changed. Thanks in advance Dottie Porter Himes --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
