Sarah Lemira Johnson Porter's name is recorded many ways in vital records and census records including:
• Sarah Johnson.
• Semera Johnson.
• Semira Johnson.
• Lemira Johnson.
• Sarah M. Porter.
• Sallie M. Porter.
• Westmire Porter.

The parents of Sarah Johnson are unclear. For the 1850 census, she is recorded in the household of Jesse Franklin Johnson and Sarah Rebecca Porter. Sarah Rebecca Porter probably died between 1857 and 1859 before Jesse remarried in 1860. Sarah Johnson is not listed in the family for the 1860 census. In her 1870 marriage record, her parents are listed as Lewis and May Johnson. In her 1915 death record, her father is listed as Lu and Polly Johnson. However, there are numerous DNA connections between a descendant of John Louis Johnson and descendants of Sarah Johnson Porter, so Sarah Johnson Porter seems likely to be a descendant of a close relative of John Louis Johnson even if she and John Louis Johnson are not siblings.

Children:
1- Margret Porter (1871- ).
2- Mary J. Porter (1873- ).
3- Barbara Ann Porter Pardue (1877-1956).
4- Emma Carolina Porter Gray Kerley (1879-1986).
5- Ida M. Porter (1883- ).
6- Alice Porter Pardue (1887-1961).
