This past Saturday (May 24, 2008) Elizabeth Duncan Porter was honored by the DAR with a plaque placed on her tombstone at the Union Cem., KC, Jackson Co., MO.She was honored as a Rev War Patriot, for her being captured by the British and Indians in 1780 and held until the end of the war 1782.She was captured along with her husbandSamuel, children (Hugh and Margaret), mother Elizabeth Alexander Duncan, brother Capt John Duncan and many other relatives.She came back with one additional child, Samuel born a few months after she got to Canada.
I'll be glad to help any descendants figure out their lineage.I descend from Samuel G. Porter and his wife Jane Laughlin.
