As we push through the garden gate of the old homestead, we are surprised at how much smaller things are than we remembered them, and how much work needs to be done. -The Hummer-

Treasure Chest Thursday My New Porter Family Addition
As you all know from my previous posts, I found in probate records the name of the son of John G Porter that has been totally missed all these years. I know he was living in 1850 to 1860 because many of the documents had to do with his guardianship. Sadly I have not been able to find him on a census. I have looked at the first guardian's census returns in 1850 where he should have been but his does not show. I have looked at those who became his guardian later and he is not there either. I am perplexed where to go from here but I have to find him before I move backwards. George W Porter is my treasure hunt now.
