Rev. Alexander CHAPMAN, and Ann [172] CHAPMAN, raised a family and to "Life of
Rev. A. Chapman", published in 1872. Reference is made for that family. [See
Descendants of
Henry Hines, Sr. p. 32 & 33]
By referring to page again it will be seen that John and Polly PORTER had one
other
son, [18] Francis, who was my grand father and it now remains to speak of him and his
family.
My information is that his mother [1] Polly died when he was of tender years, and he was
raised
under the care of his sister [12] Flora EWING. Francis, my grand father was the youngest
of the
family, I think, and was to young to take part in the war of the Revolution. His
brothers older
than himself were all soldiers in the contest, on the sides of the Colonies, and against
the tyranny
of Britain.
[18][Capt] FRANCIS PORTER [b. 1765 Prince Edward Co VA; d. 28 Oct 1821 of pneumonia
Butler Co; m. 8 Jan 1788 P.E.Co VA] , married Sallie [Sarah] CARSON [b. 20 Nov 1766
P.E.Co.VA; d. 2 June 1854 Butler Co], who was daughter of James CARSON [d.1814], and
Mary [b. 23 Oct 1743?; m. 1788] his wife whose maiden name was HELM. Francis PORTER
and Sallie CARSON were married A.D. 1788 and removed to Kentucky about 1799 or 1800,
and settled in Logan now Butler County ... on the Little Muddy Creek, near where his
brother's
John and William had previously settled, and about 1/4 mile from where Sugar Grove now
is.
[First went to Cumberland Co then Logan/Butler 1809?]--- It was but a short distance
from one
brother's house to the others, and they were situated in the shape of a triangle. He
proceeded to
open a farm with the aid of some negros, and soon was as I am informed in comfortable
circumstances. Francis and Sallie PORTER raised eight children to years of maturity,
viz:----
[181] Polly [Mary], [186] Betsy [Ann], [187] Sallie [Sarah], [188] Margaret, [182] James
[A.],
[183][John M.], [189] Frank [Francis] and my father [185] Nathaniel --[Some records
indicate an
additional son [184] William, b. 25 May 1795]
[181] Aunt Polly [b. 22 Nov 1778/88?; d. 4 March 1851; m. 20 Oct 1807] as I have
said
on page - married [171] John [Porter] CARSON, and raised a family, whom I have already
mentioned on page ---. Aunt Polly was a large fleshy woman, whom I remember well, ---
and
this impression made on my mind when I was a child can not easily be erased. --- The post
office
for the neighborhood was kept at their house, and I was often sent for the mail matter,
and I
rarely ever failed to see Aunt Polly and Uncle John, both good old people. There are too
few
such people in these late days.---They died not far from the same time---Aunt Polly died
suddenly, I think with disease of the heart --I remember Pa at the time of her death was
absent,
and having been to Louisville, but think he arrived home in time for burial. Uncle John
lived a
short time and he too passed away and left Locust Forrest a sad and lonely place.---
[186] Aunt Betsy [Elizabeth] Ann [b. 15 Sept 1799; d. 15 March 1868] lived to the
age of
about 70 years, and never married---She was a pious good woman of fine intellect, and of
much
reading, As long as my grand mother [Sallie] lived she remained with her at the old
homestead,
and after which she lived at Sugar Grove, with Pa's family. Her death occurred 1868,
and she
was laid away in the old burying ground, in which so many of the names repose. Her good
deeds
live after her.
[187] Aunt Sallie [b. 3 Oct 1802; d. ; m. 1820 ; first married Jas. ROYSTER, and
moved
to Texas. She raised one son, [1871] Thos. F. ROYSTER, who was in Kentucky in
1866.---After
the death of Uncle ROYSTER, She married [ca. 1830] Maj. Ben I. WHITE, who died about
1865 or 1866.--- In the Spring of 1869 I went to Texas and brought her to Kentucky, and
since
that time she has made her home in Sugar Grove
[188] Aunt Margaret PORTER [b. 20 July 1806; d. 27 June 1857 Butler Co] married
Henry G. MITCHELL, and lived afterwards till her death in Edmondson County at Chamelion
Springs. She was an intelligent good woman, and left a warm memory behind her. [no
issue]
[182] My Uncle James A. PORTER [15 Jan 1791; d. ] was my father's oldest
brother.
He never married. He was after his arrival at manhood, engaged in business at the Saline
Salt
Works in Illinois. A negro man ran away from him and fled to the State of Ohio. He went
in
pursuit of him, and I think found him perhaps at, or near Cincinnati, and took passage on
a steam
boat for Louisville, after which he was never heard of more. It was supposed he was
murdered,
and his body perhaps buried in the Ohio river. No information satisfactory has ever
been, and
will I suppose never be ascertained concerning his fate. The supposition was he was
killed, by
persons in the effort to rescue the negroe slave. He never returned to his parental
roof, and the
secret of his taking off will never be known, till the day which shall make all things
known.
[183] My Uncle John M. PORTER [16 Feb 1793; d. ca. 1830], was older, than Pa, but
younger than Uncle James. He never married. About the year 1830, he went to the now
State of
Texas, then a province of Mexico, or perhaps the Republic of Texas. He remained there
sometime on business of some sort, and became owner by grant of 1/4 of a league of land,
about
1100 acres, and was making his arrangements to return, when he was taken sick of Cholera,
and
died. He died in Velasco..on the coast and was buried there. He too died away from his
home
and relatives. He was a good man, and has only gone before as did brother James, who was
also
ready.
[189] Francis A. PORTER [b. 26 July 1809; d. 1833], my uncle, was the youngest
brother of the four and died at the homestead in the year 1833, aged about 24 years. He
lies
buried in the old family grave yard awaiting the resurrection of the last day to go up,
and enjoy
the glories for which he was prepared. He never married.
[185] My own dear father. Rev. Nathaniel PORTER [b. 8 Feb 1797; d. 11 Oct 1871; m.
1st 1826; m. 2nd 3 Feb 1836] , was born in Prince Edward County Virginia, February 8th.
A.D.
1797. His father moved from that County to Kentucky about the year 1800, and settled on
the
Waters of Little Muddy Creek, as I have said on page --, the same place on which my
brother
Frank lives, at this date, 1872. Here my father was raised, and here he grew to manhood.
My
information is that my grand father's family and perhaps most, if not all the
connections were in
their religious views, Presbyterians. My grand father and grand mother Porter were both
members of that Church. About the time of my father's arrival at mature years the
great revival
of religion called the revival of 1800 was sweeping over the Western Country--Kentucky
and
Tennessee being then Western States truly; for beyond them in the West emigration had not
gone
to any extent. This revival although begun perhaps in 1800 continued for some years. In
the
year 1810 the Cumberland Presbyterian Church took its origin and my grand father's
family
favored that Church, but did not, I think, unite with it for prudential reasons likely,
which cannot
now be known. They however were friendly to the revival party and my information is
several
of their children professed religion, and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.---Pa
was
one of the number, he having professed religion at Mount Moriah Church in Logan Co.
Kentucky in the year 1819, under the preaching of Rev. Robert Donnell. In the year 1820
he
preached himself under care of Logan Presbytery, as a Candidate for the Ministry. This
was at
Red River Church in Logan County, Kentucky. He was licensed to preach at Little Muddy
in
1823, and ordained at the same place in 1829. Thus it will be seen he was more than
fifty years
a minister of the gospel of the Son of God.
He married in 1826 [1721] Martha [Patsey] Ann CHAPMAN, daughter of Rev.
Alexander CHAPMAN.
My brother [1851] Francis A. PORTER [b. 28 July 1827; d. 5 March 1876 or 2 April

and sister [1852] Sarah Ann [b. ca.1829; d. 1854; unmarried], who died in 1854 were
the
children of this marriage. Sister Sarah Ann was deaf and dumb and otherwise so much
afflicted
and helpless, and died at the age of 25 years.
My father married a second time in 1836, to my mother Sarah Elizabeth HELM [ b.
1818
Butler Co KY; d. 1872 Butler Co KY], daughter of Moses and Nancy [OWEN] HELM [and
sister of J B HELM], both natives of Virginia, the former, I think of Campbell, the
latter of
Bedford County. The children of my father's second marriage were sister [1853] Mary
Thomas
[Molly], born in 1837[?]; [1854] Myself, born in 1839; [1855] a brother, born in 1842,
and died
a short time afterwards not named; [1856] Sister Nancy Virginia [Jennie], born in 1844;
[1857]
brother James Aolette [Avalette] born in 1846, and died in 1848 aged about 2 years;

Sister Martha Cullie born in 1848; [1859] Sister Elizabeth Margaret Alice [Lizzie] born
in 1851;
[1850][brother Nathaniel Anthony][ b. 1853]; [185A] brother [William]Edward, who was
born
in [26 Aug] 1856 and died at the age of 2 months. In all there were nine [?] of us,
three of whom
I have said three died in infancy. Aolette was a bright boy, whom I remember well, but
was
soon called away to rest with those little children whom Jesus called unto him, and
blest. The
other two died when quite young and before they could talk.

[See Memoirs of [185312] Margaret Porter Russell Cross]
[1858] Sister Cullie [b. 1848; d. 5 June 1906 ; m. 1872] was married in 1872
to
Felix G. McKAY, and they at this time live in Sugar Grove. When I left home
in
1861 for the army she was a little girl, when I came back in 1865, she was
grown.
[1859] Sister Lizzie [b. 1851; d. 13 Feb 1896; unmarried ], is at this time
living at
Sugar Grove. She too was small when I entered the army, and I came home to
find her full grown. How great are the changes brought about in four years!
[1850] Brother Nat [b. 1853; d. 1910; unmarried] is now about 19 and is
attending school. He was an amateur soldier boy. Soldier at home, during the
war, about 6 to 10 years of age, and amused himself in dawning belt and
buckle,
and going through evolutions, as soldiers---
About the year 1844. Pa began mechanizing at his residence, Sugar Grove. This is
about
as far back as I can remember. He caused to be built in his yard, a store house, which
still stands
and for a long time, till 1865 sold goods in it, and was successful at the business. In
1865
[1855?] and 1856 he built a new dwelling at Sugar Grove, and about the same time he in
connection with brother Frank and Uncle Owen Helm, built the new store house, at a cost
of
about $1800. They did business together for some years, until the war came on. After
the war
had begun, they were unable, on account of being southern in their sentiments to obtain
goods by
purchase, in as much as most merchants before being allowed to buy goods were required
to
make proof of loyalty and obtain permits to do so. After the war was over, goods were
sold at
Sugar Grove either by Pa. alone or by a firm of which he was a member, up to his death.
His ministry began as I have said in the year 1820, and continued to the close of
his life
in 1871, for more than fifty years. The first years of his ministry were devoted to a
good extent
of riding, what was called a "Circuit". This work embraced several counties,
such as Ohio,
Daviess, Breckenridge, Grayson, Hancock, and others bordering on the Ohio river. He
also
preached extensively in the counties of upper Green River. He was for a long time the
stated
preacher at Little Muddy, Old Union in Warren County, Concord, Harmony, Red River Logan
Co., Mt. Olivet, Morgantown, Point Pleasant, and perhaps other churches at different
times, and
we have reason to believe, and know that his labors resulted in great good to the honor
and glory
of God. His preaching contained the purity of the Gospel delivered in its simplicity
such a
gospel as reached the wants of the people. Some "diaries" kept by him during
the early years of
his ministry are very interesting, containing the text from which he preached, and in
some
instances an epitom of his sermons.
My father was punctual in attending the Judications of the Church, such as
Presbyteries,
Synods, and upon several occasions the General Assembly.--- Sometimes as a delegate from
Logan Presbytery, and sometimes as a mere visitor. He loved the Church meetings.
He attended the meeting of Logan Presbytery at pleasant Hill Warren County,
Kentucky
in August 1871, and went home unwell. He was soon after seriously sick, and died on
Monday
Morning October 9th. 1871, about 10 o'clock. He died of inflamation of the stomach
and
bowels. He suffered a great deal in his sickness, yet bore it with Christian fortitude,
and died in
possession of his faculties unimpaired, almost Seventy-five years old. There never was a
better
father. Nor better man and Christian. He was medium stature, about 5 feet 10 inches
high. And
weighed 130 pounds when in health. He was kind to his servants, to the poor and
suffering, and
to all. He was successful in business, and but for his liberality would have been in
possession of
a handsome estate. He left what is far better than worldly wealth, namely a good name.
He
owned a large body of land embracing near 1200 acres at and around Sugar Grove, the name
given by himself to his homestead many years before his death.
My mother was the second daughter, and fourth child of Moses and Nancy HELM, as I
have said on page . She survived my father only a few months, when she too was called to
join
the angels above. She died of Congestion at Sugar Grove on Wednesday June 6th. 1872 at
about
4 o'clock in the evening, after only twentyfour hours sickness. She was not thought
to be
dangerous till a short time before her death, None of the children were at home except
Lizzie,
and Nat, and Nat was at work on the farm and did not get to her bed side till after her
death.
Sister Mary arrived just in time to see her die. I was in Bowling Green and did not hear
of her
death till about 11 O'clock that night. Cullie was in Hart County, but was sent for,
and got home
in time for the funeral. Sister Jennie was also at her home, and did not hear of the
sickness till
told of her death. It was a sad meeting when all of us got home, and found no mother
living.
Her funeral was preached by Rev. R. A. Read, and she was laid away by the side of our
dear
father in the Little Muddy burying ground. My mother was a good woman, an intelligent
mother, and a true Christian. She and Pa had a great interest in the happiness and
welfare of
their children. I can never know, nor can anyone else ever know the anxiety and trouble
she
experienced for safety during the time I was absent in the army in 1861--2--3--4--&
--5. I
sometimes think it is owing to her prayers for me that I survived the dangers and
hardships and
came back home. It is my desire and prayer that I may be ready to meet her and my father
when
the hour of departure draws nigh together with my dear Belle, who went a short time
before to
the glory land. Peace be to the graves wherein they rest.
My brother [1851] Frank married Miss Mary A. ALEXANDER December 2nd. 1858, and
lives now in 1872 on the farm settled by my grand father Francis PORTER.
