John Calhoun Porter

Other Events:

• Census: 1850, Sevier County, Tennessee
• Census: 1860, District 4, Sevier County, Tennessee

Notes:

Orderly Sgt. Co. B 2nd Tn. Cav.

Mentioned in Richard Shields Will.

Entry in deed book: "Husband and wife convey interest to Robert L. Shields at Bird Creek for $100".

John is probably John Porter son of Richard Shield's second wife and her first husband. The census lists as Shields but the order indicates a logical break in the family relation.
