Hi Doug;

Don't see much info on the PORTEOUS families! However, according to
Tremaine's 1861 Map, Robert PORTEOUS owned Lots 20 & 21, Conc., 6
in Manvers Twp., and in Beldon's 1878 Map, Robert PORTEOUS still
owned Lots 20 & 21, Conc., 6 in Manvers Twp.

The Durham County Newspaper Index has 15 listings for the name
PORTEOUS.

Kind regards
