• Notes

  He was an early settler at the Falls of the Brazos in present Falls County, Texas. He signed as a witness an Indian treaty signed at Tehuacana Creek on 9 Oct 1844. Having received land on the Trinity River in what is now northeastern Navarro County for his service in the Texas Revolution, in 1848 he platted the town of Taos on it with the expectation that it would become an important shipping point. He appears occasionally as Maj. Porter or Col. Porter, but the basis for his titles is not known. In the year he died (of cholera), 1849, he was taxed for ten surveys of land, twenty-five slaves, and a buggy, probably a large estate for that time See Roger Bartlett's website: http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=bartlett1944&id=I73
