Our lines from Joseph Porter (Pourter) Sr. split at Joseph Jr's son James and his wife Melinda Bernette. My line descends from James' son Wilburn C. Porter and his wife Elizaeth Lucinda Johnson. Yours descens from James' son Elisha Franklin and his wife Mary E. "Polly" Higgins. Looking forward to hearing from you at my e-mail address ilohiller@aol.com
