Individual Details
John Porterfield
(October 14, 1763 - November 12, 1846)
(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: Some researchers have shown this John Porterfield to be the son of John Porterfield and Sarah Cunningham. I find it odd that this John Porterfield is shown to have always lived in Orange County, North Carolina, but the elder John Porterfield married and died in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Frank Porterfield shows the elder John to have had a son named John, but he was born about 1851, and died in Washington County, Virginia.)
The marriage of John Porterfield and Margaret Clark on November 7, 1796, bond by J. Baldridge, is recorded in Orange County, North Carolina marriages, 1779 - 1868. John was a Revolutionary War veteran.
