Andrew Porter & Mary Brawley of Wythe County, VA
Greetings All:
I visited Wytheville Community College last week and found a newly published book in the Kegley Library on the Ewing/Porter families of Cecil County, Maryland and Wythe County, Virginia.Under the heading "The Descendants of Eleanor Ewing" [page 115] I found the following:
Andrew Porter was born 4 April 1773 in Fincastle County, Virginia.He was the son of Robert Porter and Margaret Lindsay.Andrew died 9 March 1853 in Wythe County, Virginia.He married Martha Mary Gleaves in 1792.She was born 13 December 1774.She was the daughter of William Gleaves and Elizabeth Turk.Martha died in 1832.Known children of Andrew are:
1.Margaret Porter, born 2 August 1795.She married James Scott 29 August 1816.Margaret died in 1890.
2.Mary Porter, born 9 August 1797.She married (1) Stephen Gose 12 December 1816.Mary died 14 May 1872.She married (2) David Pickle.
3.William Porter born 20 July 1799.He married Mary Thomas 3 June 1819.William died 23 February 1867.
4.James Porter.He married Elizabeth Scott 19 October 1830 in Wythe County, VA.
5.Elizabeth Porter, born 18 January 1794, died 19 September 1848.
6.Sarah G. Porter.She married Enos D. Shields.
7.ANDREW PORTER.HE MARRIED MARY BRAWLEY ON 29 JUNE 1834.MARY DIED 18 JUNE 1850.
8.Stephen D. Porter, born 21 January 1813, died 17 September 1883.
9.Robert Porter, died before June 1850 in Blount County, TN.
I have been researching the Bralley/Brawley family of Wythe County, VA for over 15 years now and I plan on publishing my book this summer.I have never heard of the MARY BRAWLEY (above).Nor have I ever heard of a marriage between a Mary Brawley and Andrew Porter.If anyone can verify this information, would you please let me know.If it is true, I wonder who her parents were.It seems logical that her father was James Bralley.He died in 1854, which is why she would not be mentioned in his will.She predeceased him by four years.Anyway, any assistance is certainly appreciated.
Thanks,
Russ Bralley
Bristol, Virginia
