     There is some uncertainty about Susannah's date-of-death. If one goes to the olde case
of 'James Allord vs. John Walls Crunk', one of the witnesses is a Susannah Porter,
living in the area where Susannah Walker Porter had lived.
     On page 3 and page 11 of the seventeen-page file, Mrs. Susannah Porter makes-her-mark
on documents from two different dates in the files. The first is July 1, 1786; the second is
March 3, 1804.
     If this 'Susannah Porter' is the 'Susannah Walker Porter' of this memorial, and married
to Patrick Porter, then she did not die in 1895. If anyone has proof of her death year, I would
be grateful if they would share it with us.
     And while we are on the subject of vital dates, Susannah Walker Porter is listed in some
family trees as being born in Pennsylvania. I doubt this to be true, but, again ...if someone
has some evidence of this being the case, please let us know.
     I thank you all for your patience.
