PORTER, CASEY, DENNIS



Isaac S. PORTER, a son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (CASEY) PORTER, was born

in Lincoln County, Tenn., in 1817.  He was reared principally by his

mother, as his father died when he was about ten years of age.  He attended

the neighboring schools, and in 1838 married Emeline, daughter of George W.

and Ann DENNIS, by whom he had twelve children, ten of whom are living:

George W. D., Benjamin F. P. (deceased), David S., Isaac H. M., Robert M.,

Lawrence L. T., Elizabeth C., Eliza C., Helen L., Jane F. and Julia F.  Mr.

PORTER owns 235 acres of valuable and well improved land.  His two sons

George and Benjamin were in the late war and participated in many of its

principal battles, the latter being killed at Resaca, Ga., May 15,1864.

Mrs. PORTER was born in Tennessee in 1816, and her father and mother in

North Carolina in 1791, and 1789, respectively.  Mr. PORTER was a Whig, but

since the war has been a Democrat.  His father was born in Boston, Mass.,

in 1763, and in 1804 married the mother, who was born in Virginia in 1778,

and they together came to Tennessee in 1809.  The father died in Lincoln

County in 1828.  The mother died in Texas in 1857.
