The Porter family from the Bill Beasley family collection. Thank you very much, Bill, for sharing your family photographs with your larger family!

Need help identifying our family, please! Is Mary Elizabeth the third seated lady from the left, then her father James David, and his father, Robert Brownfield Porter and Mary Jones Porter?

"Robert Brownfield Porter & Mary Jones Porter were my great-great-great grandparents. I have 2 books that have a lot of Porter information.

I saw your question on findagrave, about the photo of RBP & MJP and the James J. Porter family.

"Since James J. & Frances Downing Porter had 2 daughters and 5 sons and Mary Elizabeth was 4 years older than Eliza Ann, Mary E. could be the one sitting next to her father. One problem...Frances was still alive at this point. If these are the 2 girls, where's Frances?
By the way, both my books say that it's James J. not James David. I know that ME's death certificate says it was James David, but all my other sources say James J.

The 2 books are online, so I can send them to you if you wish.

Marvin Reed [email protected]
P.S. I was born and grew up in Carroll County, TN, where the Porters lived when the photo was taken."

Another cousin on ancestry Dec 2014:
"janicegneiting I love this picture. I really want it to be the James J Porter family, but I can't quite put everyone in place. So I am thinking on paper: The two men in front look like twins almost. And they certainly look like the picture I have of James J Porter. So when do you think this picture was taken? Robert Brownfield and Mary Jones Porter both died in 1866. If it were spring of 1866, James J Porter would have been 48. In the picture he looks much older. That makes his youngest sons, Henry Clay, six and James Franklin only two. Mary Elizabeth would be 15 and Eliza Ann would be 11, I guess that is possible, but the girls look a bit older. Do you think some of the men might be other sons of David and Mary? James J Porter only had thee older sons, John Robert would be 21, David Granville -20 yrs and William Andrew would be 17. There are two extra men and two young children that don't fit. Also the men on the back row look older than 17-21. And where is James's wife, Mary Frances Downing? Has anyone else added insight?"
