Patricia,

Where was your John Porter residing in 1860 at the time of the census?

I checked Lillian Henderson's Roster of Georgia Infantry. There was no John Porter with Company F, 21st Georgia. This
company was from Troup County, in middle Georgia. David A. Porter and James Porter served with Co. F, 21st Georgia,
but no John Porter is listed.

I checked Fold3 (online) for the service records of all Porters in the 21st GA. John does not appear.

I did find a John W. Porter with the 2nd North Carolina Battalion Infantry. He died 10/22/1861. He enlisted in Forsyth Co. GA,
and per the 1860 census, was residing in nearby Dawson Co. GA. Father was Phillip Porter.

Were your Porter's in middle GA, or northern GA when the war broke out ?

Sincerely,

Greg
