I just found on the 1880 census for Kanawha Co. Wv a Nevora Porter age 8 born WV Mary age36 listed as single.
Could her name be spelled a different way perhaps..

HI You All!

I just joined the group. I am researching Porter families of Kentucky; but, espencially the ones in the areas of Floyd and Pike Counties. I believe this
to be the area that my maternal grandmother's family was from, although, I have
no proof of that yet. Her name was Nevora Porter, b. 04 Jul 1872, mother's name was Mary (b. abt. 1846 in KY), father's name may have been John Porter. My mother always told me that her mom's family was related to the McCoys of Hatfield/McCoy fame; and, this is the reason I am looking in this
area. This is the only area of my family tree which has not been worked back into the 1600s; and, I would love to find out about my grandma's family. Of course, no one is now left alive to ask the right questions, which I now know to ask LOL! So far, though, I have picked up a lot of info on different Porter families of KY as I have been systematically researching them all for some time. Hope joining this group might bring something to light.....or failing that, turn a light bulb on for my grandma's family!

My email is jamie.neal@gmail.com I'd love to see Adkins family trees. Maybe there's a connection a little further back:)

Most of my Adkins line comes out of Elliot Co., then later they moved to Crandon, Wisconsin. My Grandfather was Lonnie Adkins, his father was Charlie Adkins and on up wards.I have lots of Howards, Owens and Braxston/Brackstons in my line. If this sounds like your go ahead and leave a note. Thanks.

Hmmmm..I'm afraid the names you listed don't sound familiar. We've got James, Granville, and Edward/Edwin in our line. I can e-mail you a couple of Adkins family trees if you give me your e-mail address. Mine is desertmouse@aol.com (Because I will never, ever be a desert rat!) The e-mail offer goes for any other Adkins out there!

I'm another Adkins, Kay:) Actually, my great grandmother was an Adkins. She was the daughter of Adam Adkins (m. Bertha McDaniel). He was a son of Ewell and Sarah Cross Adkins (as far as I can tell...I don't have a lot of proof on that one).
