• Notes

  !BIRTH: MCHS..Robert Addington, in THE HISTORY OF SCOTT COUNTY, VIRGINIA, stated on page 103, "The six original settlers at Porter's Fort werePatrick Porter, Raleigh Stallard, Capt. John Montgomery, Porter's son-in-law,Samuel, son of Patrick Porter, and a man named Hutchinson and Charles Kilgore.These men all came from Snoddy's Fort." This is misleading, for JohnMontgomery was yet a boy and not yet Porter's son-in-law OR Captain at the time theysettled. Patrick Porter was the Sergeant in charge at Moore's Fort on 30 June 1777. Daniel Boone and family were at Moore's (or Snoody's) Fort for a time.His name appears often in the Law Order Books and other records of RussellCounty. He served as a commissioner of Land Tax, and was a Land Commissioner. Submitted by Caroline W.Chapman McGowan, CMS 894, and others. Updated Oct. 2000.
