On 6 Dec 1931 a man named P W Porter, aged 86 yrs, was buried at Cherry Grave.^[4] P W is listed as the son of Tommy Porter of Alabama and Palistin Porter. ^[4] Further research indicates Palistin as mother is probably a data entry error at FamilySearch as P W was actually buried in Palestine, Cleburne County, Alabama, USA. Find A Grave

Descendants of Perry Warren Porter at Find-a-Grave claim this was their ancestor and that he was the son of Thomas and Mary.
