PORTER / WALKER / BENSON
I was wondering if you might know where I could possibly find out about my grandfather. His name was William PORTER. He was from Kelly, North Carolina. My grandparents, William Porter and Dovie WALKER, were not married, and Dovie gave my father, Luther James PORTER, away when he was one week old. He was raised by Sally BENSON. My father never spoke to his children about his real father, but he always knew that William was his father. He knew that he was given away at birth. I have researched and researched for William Porter and Dovie Walker and ran into a stone wall each and every time. I would give anything if I could find out the dates that they lived on this earth. I understand that every July there is a big Porter family reunion at White Lake. I dont know if these are relatives, but maybe one day I'll have time to be there in July and ask a few questions. My father died in 1968. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Charles Porter Hometown: Fayetteville, NC Posted December 25, 2001

McINTOSH / ANDERSON / FINLEYSON / McCALL
I have just discovered a link to my family and am writing to see if anyone has any information on the following people. Roderick McINTOSH came from the Isle of Skye with wife Mary ANDERSON and son Daniel about 1776 to Robeson County. Daniel grew up in Robeson and married Christina FINLEYSON. In 1820 the group moved to Monroe County, Alabama, part of the family stayed in Monroe and the others moved to Thomas County, Georgia settling in Boston. Duncan McIntosh was born in 1805 to Daniel and Christina. He married Nancy McCALL (probably in Monroe County). We had always been told that Nancy was born in Edinburgh and of course had assumed Scotland. However, while studying a map of North Carolina, I found an Edinburgh in Cumberland County.
My question is, does anyone have any records of Roderick and Daniel and also, do you know which McCall family in Cumberland may have had a Nancy approximately 1805-1810? I have loose links between Nancy McCall and Daniel and Hugh McCall in Monroe County. Hugh McCall lists a sister Nancy in his will and Daniel gives a slave to Nancy's blind son John. Loose links, but significant, non the less. Thank you for any clues you can give to me and thank you for the music. God Bless America. Dorothy Cato McIntosh Cain Posted December 7, 2001
