The current belief is that all of these lines of Porters originate in Old Chester County, PA, from which they dispersed to Old Augusta, the Carolinas, and Southwest Virginia. This effort has been designed to collect relevant wills from these and other areas needed for assessing the family history of the Porters of SW Virginia.
