[from "Amite Co., Mississippi, 1699 to 1865, volumes I and II"; compiled by Casey and Otken - abstract of applications made to and permission granted by the Register of the Land Office west of the Pearl River to settlers on lands ceded to the United States under the Act of Congress of the 3rd day of March, 1807]:  Called "Lancelot" in the will of his father, Edward Sanders PORTER.
Several researchers have become confused by the following dates and places - there MAY be another Landlot PORTER and Winnie [SUTH] with similar dates and places. I believe the 1744 birth in Lancaster Co., VA and 1831 death in Mississippi are correct. [BCVS, 1999]
PORTER Bible, in possession of James Monroe PORTER-Mary THOMPSON descendants (as of 1999), gives following information [probably incorrect]: Landlot PORTER, born Feb 2, 1750 in Union Co., SC died Jan 3, 1791 in Union Co., SC. Wife Winnie, born Aug 11, 1752, died 1795 in Union
Co., SC. Shadrach PORTER, born Aug 10, 1780 in SC, died Jul 17, 1827, in 'Loisiana'; Shadrack married: Elizabeth CAMPBELL on March 2, 1813;  marriage recorded in St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church, St. Martinsville, LA, vol. 5, entry 290. (Certificate lists parents as Landlot PORTER and Winnie PALMORE.) 
PORTER, Landlot

Aged 87 years
Records of FORTNER-PORTER Cemetery, copied in May 1974 in Siwell, Hinds Co., MS  (between Jackson & Raymond, MS) by Mrs. Jean Bevis Jones, 318 E.
Langley Blvd,. Universal City, TX, 78148 (published in Family Puzzlers, number 413, Sep. 18, 1975, page 2-3)
"Mildred Steele"  called from
Texas, & sent me much primary PORTER material she’s been researching for years, including many land records & the location of my Landlott PORTER’s grave in Hinds County, MS.  She was the first person, besides myself, to have info that Landlot died in MS - different from the DAR records.  I already had his succession (opening of the estate - he died intestate) #266 Feb. 24, 1834 from Lafayette Parish, LA Clerk of Courts’ office.  This was listed in Fr. Donald Hebert’s SW Louisiana Records, in which my brother, Michael, did much research - early on in our genealogy work ca. 1994. Mike also relocated the cemetery, & took pictures in the spring of 1999.
