***note: there is a David Porter and a John Porter that seem to be a part of this Wm Porter family.A John Porter buys land in 1837 but is not found in any other record.I cannot find a David Porter in any other record.Because of the lack of documentation that would indicate some advancement into adulthood, I am inclined to believe they are sons of William, although they could be brothers.**
