Charleston, S.C. 1820s-49s
Does anyone know about a T.H. Porter who was a slave trader in the 1820s until at least the early 1840s?
Various artifacts with "T.H. Porter, dealer in slaves" have been found in Charleston and as far west as northwest Alabama, probably further.These artifacts include leg and hand shackles and name tags from Charleston sales.He may not have actually lived in New Orleans.
No relation, just interested in history.
