Research Notes

21 Jan 2022 - As of this date, these are the supposed children linked to Benjamin Porter who died 1761, Orange Co., VA. None of these alleged children are named in Benjamin Porter’s will. ^[2] There’s also no source/proof on their profile pages of any connection to Benjamin Porter of Orange Co., VA. I’ve unlinked them as children of Benjamin Porter.
