Husband Issac E. Brashears

Marriage: Abt 1850-1851 - AR

Father: Thomas Brantley Porter (1804-1883) Mother: Mary Jane Covington (1807- )
Children
Notes: Marriage (Amanda F. Porter):
Since Issac is listed as single in the household of his parents on the date of the 1850 census (Oct. 18, 1850), then they were married sometime after this date. Also, since their eldest son is age 9 in the 1860 census, taken June 1860, then they were probably married as early as late October 1850, and as late as May 1851.
