Oliver is in the 1850 Ohio Co KY Census with 2nd wife Jane. Oliver age 63, b. VA; Jane age 60, b. NC. Also Sarah Chapman age 33 and her probable daughter Elisa Chapman age 10. Porters in the household are Cunan/Curan, age 26 (male & marked Deaf & Dumb]), James age 22, and Oliver age 5, surely a grandchild.

1860 Census, Cromwell Town, Ohio Co KY.

John Porter age 18, Laborer [his surname is repeated - he may have been a grandson]. Then Elvis, age 8 [Female] is listed as a Boarder.

If information passed along from Porter researchers is correct, Curran was possibly a son of the first wife, and James a son of Jane. There were likely other children.
