I just came across your posting and we may have a connection.I haven't done much research on my Porter line but here's what little I do know:
My ggg-grandmother was Elizabeth Brown, no birth or death date known, but I suspect she was born in the early 1800's.I know nothing of her parents other than her father had a shoe factory in Steubenville (Jefferson County), OH.
She married a Porter (first name unknown) and they had the follwing children:
1.) Mary Ann/Emma? Porter (1827-1896).She and Thomas Jefferson McCully 1815-1884)were my gg-grandparents.
2.) Liz, married Squire Buchanon in Steubenville, OH.
3.) Unknown girl, married a Mr. Hayes in Coshocton, OH and gave a set of brass candlesticks from Ireland to my gg-aunt.
4.) Frank, married "Aunt Lib" and had children John, Laura, Charlie and Frank.
As you can see, I have very sketchy information and I've posted everything I know.
There may have been other children of these people that I don't know about.It seems the connection may lie in the geographical area centering in Jefferson County, OH.
Here's hoping !!!
