I have some Porter's that I'm keeping an eye on because a child in my Wilson family had the middle name of Porter and trying to figure out where it came from. Samuel Porter b. 1731-1807 m. 1759 to Eva Weaver (Tighlman), children I have are Samuel and Martin. Samuel b. 1774 m. 1796 to Mary Withers w/son Samuel Porter III, b. 1799 Fauquier Co. m. 1819 to Mary Sayers Grayson d/o William Grayson and Mary Elizabeth Waggoner. These people connect to the Ball/McCarty lines. Martin b. 1762 Warrenton Fauquier Co. m. 1789 to Agatha Withers also of Warrenton.
