Rhea County TN PORTERS
Hi all, I'm new here.I have limited info on a branch of PORTERS in Rhea County TN that I am descended from.This can be found in the publication "Churches and Schools of Rhea County TN".
John A. PORTER (24 JUN 1833-6 DEC 1907) married Eliza J. WHITE (17 DEC 1838-16 MAY 1899).John migrated to Rhea County from VA before the War Between the States.Both are buried in the Porter Cemetary in Rhea County TN. Their son:
William Jason PORTER (17 JAN 1873-1944?) married Emma TRENTHAM (29 JUN 1873-20 FEB 1938).William and Emma lived on a farm on Old Stage Road.Their children:
Bertha PORTER (24 JUN 1897-5 AUG 1958) married Van Buren CLARK
The Rev. John A. PORTER (1898-1978)married Dicy A. WALKER
William Jason PORTER (8 MAY 1900-22 FEB 1951) married Myra Pauline BARGER (18 JUL 1903-1997?)(my grandparents)
Robert Chapman PORTER (28 FEB 1903-?)married Mable J. WALKER
Hope this helps someone and if anyone out there has more to add I'd be glad for the information.
Thanks,
SR Adams
