According to Kentucky, Birth Records, 1852-1910, James P. Portwood was b. Mar. 16, 1876, instead of Mar. 17, 1877 and was son of George W. Portwood and Martha Sersa [A tree on Ancestry.com calls her Martha Alice Siers]
James and Jennie apparently got a divorce sometime between 1910 and 1920 because Jennie turns up in the 1920 Census married to Harry O. Potts with her son Frank A. Portwood still living with them.I find no further trace of this Frank Portwood.Later records for a Frank Portwood the same age as him in Springfield, Sangamon, IL was Alva Frank (or Frank Alva) Portwood, son of Henry Monroe Portwood and Minnie Adele "Della" Freeman.
George was son of Thomas N. Portwood (b. c.1833, Madison Co., KY) and Elizabeth Beasley (b. c.1836, Madison Co., KY) who I've seen listed as dau. of either Nick Beasley or Nehemiah Beasley.Beasley Family Genealogy Forum post #3965, mentions a Nehemiah "Nick" Beasley who m. Sarah "Sally" Bowman and fought in the Civil War.The poster thinks they came from Sussex, England by way of Barbados, through NC to KY (Estill, Madison and Garrard Counties).Lists Portwood as a family surname, but doesn't specify the connection.The post and followups mentions other children to this couple.
Thomas was son of Silas Portwood and Kerren Happuck "Katy" Elliott, who I have as dau. of John Elliott, Sr. and Virignia ___.
Silas was son of Samuel C. "Sam" Portwood and Frances "Franky" Evans, who I have as dau.of Peter Evans of Madison Co., KY.
Sam was son of my ancestor Page Portwood I and Ann Stalling.
