I have a photocopy of a bill of sale from Isaac VANMATRE to John PORTER,
both of Grayson Co., Kentucky. This is dated April 9, 1818. It is
witnessed by Edward PORTER and Hubbard VANMATRE. I am trying to find
out if these Porters are any relation to mine.

I have (I think) two Porter lines in Grayson Co.: 1. Elizabeth PORTER
(parents unknown) b. abt. 1805 KY, married Daniel PAYTON.

2. William PORTER b. 1750, married Ann Murphy PORTER, b. 1754 VA,
daughter of Edward E. PORTER and Mary. Their son, Elias, b. 1785,
married Nancy NASH, b. 1792. Elias and Nancy's son, Robert, b. 1803 in
Grayson Co., KY, married Elizabeth ?, b. 1807. Robert and Elizabeth's
son, Wesley, b. 1832 Grayson Co., KY, married Delilah PAYTON, b. 1837
Grayson Co., KY.

Does anyone recognize these names? Please contact me if you have any information.

Thanks.
Randie
