It’s seems the natural progression to come another step forward with the Porter’s from last week’s Wordless Wednesday post—especially since I have grander plan for introducing the Holdens (coming soon!). So, this week meet my Great-Grandmother Crystal (Porter Johnson) Bailey and my Step-Great-Grandfather, Harold Bailey, Sr. Grandma Crystal died in 1968 so my stories about her came mostly from my mother and Grandpa Bailey. I credit Grandpa as one of the people who helped me get started on my genealogy when I had to work on a family tree for a Girl Scout badge back in elementary school.

First of all, I love your site–it is so readable and you are making these people so real.
I am researching Seth Porter born 1730 Pawlett Rutland Verm and died 1800 Rupert Bennington Verm and who had a really lengthy RW record.
My Seth Porter was the 3rd husb of Hannah Higley (married 1st Elijah Alford, my ancestor–then James Gaines, also a RW vet.)
They probably aren’t the same but thought I’d write to you anyway.
You can contact me at jbortt@gmail.com
thanks, Janna Bortt

I’ll reply by email too but… No they’re not the same but I have a cousin whose research suggests that this is our Seth’s Great Grandfather by way of his son Samuel Porter. We should talk!
