Hi everyone. I am getting a LOT of conflicting dates, names and places on the Porter line. With this JOHN PORTER I come to a dead end. Whereas on another line I am all the way back to the 800's and the PERCY family. Is anyone else having these issues? Where is the missing link?

Update. From this family member I have WILLIAM PORTER 1435-? and married in 1449 to Mary McDonald.

William's father Thomas Priter PORTER 1410-1433
Then John PORTER 1387-1447

Then William of Markham PORTER 1355-1436

Then Ralph or Relf PORTER 1335-1368

Then John le PORTER 1290-1368

Then Laurence le PORTER 1265-1290

Then Richard Heny le PORTER 1220-1269

Then Sir John de Port, Lord or Baron of Rockley, 1180-1239

Then Baron Adam de PORT, Governor of Castle Southampton, 1151-1213

Then Lord John de PORT, Sheriff and Lord of Basing

Then Sir Henry de PORT, Sheriff and Lord of Basing and Tong, 1087-1119

Then Alan de PERCY, 2nd Baron, 1067-1087

William "Algeronon" de PERCY, 1st Baron Aux Gernons, 1034-1096

It keeps going up to Mainfred de "The Dane" PERCY, 845-?

What's your start point? I was tracking from Johanna Hussey

We have to be careful about sources & geography especially for a common English name like Porter.

And my eyebrows raise at any "gentry."

Hi Erica, I have a 12-page LIST document with the 62 generation from my great grandmother "Nellie" Porter. I can send it to you if you like. Or I could try to list it here.
Thanks for getting back to me.

If you have it as a PDF file upload to the porters from tree bottom to tree top.
