Pat Duncan, Thank you for your prompt answer that Philip Porter was not mentioned in the land deeds from 1757-1800. I am continuing to try to find Philip Porter's parents so I am asking and recording whatever I can find as we have information that he was in Loudoun Co, Frederick Co, and also something about Fairfax Co, VA. Thanks again. If anyone comes across "anything" about Philip Porter b. abt 1754 married Nancy Ann Brent daughter of Charles Brent of VA. I would be so appreciative for any bits of information.
