Scottish Origins

The earliest male progenitor of the Porterfields appears to be a Norman knight named Alanus De Porter who was alive in the latter half of the 12th century. The first use of the name Porterfield is a number of generations later near the beginning of the 15th century in the name of Robert Porterfield. The early Porterfields were associated with a Porterfield estate in Renfrewshire. In 1554, John Porterfield acquired the estate of Duchal near Kilmacolm from Lord Lyle. Other Porterfields had many other lands in Renfrewshire and Ayrshire, Scotland in days past.

As surname spellings, Porterfield seems to be the consistent spelling of this surname with few if any variations of the course of many centuries. Some early official records in Latin use a spelling of Porterfeild or Porterfeilde.

de Porter

de Porter is an ancient Scottish surname. The appearance of the surname was in 1160 in a charter for Alanus de Porter. By the 15th century the name in Scotland had been anglicized to Porterfield.

12th Century

William I (William the Lion), King of the Scots, was defeated at the Battle of Alnwick in the north of England in 1174. William was sent to across the English Channel to Falaise in Normandy. Once there, he the signed the Treaty of Falaise that allowed him to return to Scotland. The treaty required he swear loyalty to English king Henry II and Church of England. It also required the king's brother, David, and twenty of the leading Scottish knights be held as hostages until the certain Scottish castles were placed under the control of English garrisons. One of these knights was Alanus de Porter.[1]

13th Century

In the 13th century, the name of John de Porter is found in the records of the Abbey of Paisley as witness to the donation of Kirk of Dundonald to the Abbey in 1262. The Ragman Rolls show both entries for "Porter, Johan le (burgoys de Linlefcu)" and "Porter, William le (del counte de Lanark)". Linlefcu is the now Linlithgow, a town 20 miles west of Edinburgh. [2]

14th Century

The 14th century finds the first evidence of lands being granted to the de Porters. Stephen de Porter obtained a charter to lands in Renfrewshire in 1362.[2][1] These are the lands that were to be known as Porterfield in the next century. Stephen's son Robert was known as Robert Porter before future generations took the surname of Porterfield.

15th Century

By the middle of the 1400's, the surname becomes Porterfield and matches the name of the family estate.

The Lands of the Porterfields

Porterfield

Porterfield is the name of the estate that was the original lands of the Porterfield family in Scotland. These lands lie on the bank of the River Cart in Renfrewshire. In 1362 Stephen de Porter obtained a charter to lands in Renfrewshire from David Bruce.

John Porterfield purchased Duchal in 1544 and became John Porterfield of Duchal. It appears the original Porterfield estate was considered part of the Duchal estate that perhaps was larger and therefore more worthy of the family name. When Porterfield names include "of Porterfield" after 1540 the typically referring to the same person as the one who is the Duchal laird.

Ayrshire

Porterfield ancestors came to Ayrshire from the neighboring Renfrewshire as the Porterfield family expanded their lands in Scotland. The first record of the Porterfields in Ayrshire is 1612 when Gabriel Porterfield purchased the estate of Hapland. The estate remained in the Porterfield name for over 150 years until the last male heir, Alexander Porterfield, died in 1768. Upon the death of Alexander the estate became the property of Thomas Trotter, by way of marriage to Alexander's sister, Johanna Porterfield.

Porterfields of Comiston

The first of this Porterfield line is John Porterfield (before 1590 - 1621) of Comiston, Scotland. The earliest records of this John is as an adult in 1620. The Porterfield surname was extinct within four generations, but the line survives to modern times, through marriages with the Nisbet family, and possibly the Urquharts. Attempts to connect this John Porterfield to the other major Porterfield lines have been unsuccessful to date.

Scottish Heraldry, Arms, and Clans

Are Porterfields a recognized Scottish Clan? Well, no. Two different Porterfields were granted arms by Lord Lyon but this does not mean they are recognized as a clan today. In one case the honors were lost in court case for the other Porterfield that branch died out long ago.

The most well known of the Porterfields that were granted arms was Alexander Porterfield. He was granted arms in 1672 by Lord Lyons. The arms matriculated to his grandson and heir, John Porterfield upon his death in 1675. The arms were later revoked in the 1684 trial of this same John and never reinstated. In 1684, John was convicted of treason for his role in Covenanter Movement. The penalty included a death sentence (that was never fulfilled), loss of his property and estate, and the loss of all honors. The official book of Lord Lyons notes the revocation of the arms by slashes and backslashes in the original register. After Glorious Revolution in 1688, his conviction was overturned and his lands were partially restored. No effort was apparently made to restore the arms by John or his successors. This Alexander Porterfield was the progenitor of the largest group of Porterfields in America and these arms. As such, these arms and honors are ones most commonly claimed and seen on sites promoting Porterfield clanship and heraldry.

Dame Margaret Porterfield was also granted arms in 1672 as the widow of Patrick Drummond. They had no children so that arms went dormant upon her death around 1679.[3]

Porterfield Noble and Clan Connections

The Porterfields at the height of the power in Scotland through the 1700s were part of the gentry class. While they had large estates, they were not nobility.

The Porterfield men of this era (and women) married into many of the prominent landed families as Ayrshire and Renfrewshire. The families included the Boyds, Cunninghams, Blairs, and Stewarts. Through these connections many Porterfields are connected to early Scottish and English royalty and other Scottish clans.

A partial list include:

  • MacAlister - the current recognized chief of this clan descends from Lillas Porterfield of the Hapland branch of the family. These descendent are not yet in WikiTree as of May 2020.

Irish Porterfield and the (Scots-Irish) Connection

The Porterfield name continues on in Ireland today.

Connection to Porterfields of America

One cadet line of Porterfields migrated to County Donegal in Ireland in the 17th century as part of the Irish plantation movement. By 1730, an ancestor of this line, John Porterfield, moved to Pennsylvania from Ireland with seven sons and one daughter. This group of Porterfields represent the ancestors of largest group of Porterfields in America. This is the John Porterfield mentioned below.

There are two separate theories as to the connection between between the Scottish Porterfields and the large family of eight children that came to America around 1730. The ancestral line proposed by The Porterfields (1947) by Frank Burke Porterfield is current represented in WikiTree. A second theory comes from A Kirk without a Steeple by Elizabeth M. Main. (1993, revised 2003). The difference in the two is the parentage of William Porterfield.[4]

Modern Irish Porterfield Branches

There are other Porterfields located Ireland today but connections between those families remains elusive.

This John immigrated from directly Scotland to New Jersey and has a well documented. There is no record of any marriage or children, so he has the unfortunately distinction of his line disappearing with the first generation. His relationship with Porterfield family in Scotland is well established based on his will. (Still no descendants as of March 2024)
  • ~1710 - William Porterfield is the earliest of a Porterfield family group that arrived in Maine in the early 1700s from Ireland. They are found in Cumberland County and later Knox County.

The Porterfields (1947) by Frank Burke Porterfield

This is the best known and most in-depth single resource on the Porterfield surname. It is an excellent book about the Porterfields from their earliest times up to the 1940s. At the same time, it rather poorly edited. While not done systemically it does mention many of the sources used by which it's conclusions were made. This book is available on Hathitrust at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89066246737. It also available on Ancestry.com at http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=12275).

Clarifications/Corrections/Confusion

  • Page 11 - John (10b) is often mistaken is the progenitor of the main line of eight Porterfields that came to America that the majority of the book spend it's time on. A close read of the unnumbered article "John Porterfield" from the front part of the book shows the exact connection the author proposes via a different John Porterfield.
  • Page 198 - Under (6a) Juanita Marie Porterfield. Patricia Ann Lenover birth year should be 1935, not 1933. Nancy Kay Lenover birth year should be 1937, not 1935.
  • Page 334 - Charles O. Porterfield is not a descendant of (1) John Porterfield as is suggested as a possibility.
  • Page 335 - (2) Fannie Wallace Porterfield's husband should be Hiram Sheldon, not Shendon.
  • Page 338 - Second (2a) William Stuart Porterfield should be (3a) William Stuart Porterfield. This William clearly has the wrong birth date, as it is the same as his father just above him on the page.
