"The Descendants of Peter Porter, an Emigrant of 1621" states that after Adam Porter had lived on Mossy Creek in Augusta Co., Va., from 1785 to 1790 he made a visit to his old Maryland home. In 1792, he moved with his family to Bath Co., VA. While living at Mossy Creek his youngest daughter, Ruth died. Upon arriving in Bath County, Adam built the Porter Grist Mill on Cow Pasture Creek. This creek is located in the neighborhood of Nimrod Hall. There he lived until his death, which occurred sometime after 8 Dec. 1823. It is in this locality that most of his children found their husbands and wives. It was at this place that his children separated to go their several ways: Joshua, John, and Robert to Indiana; Benjamin to Tennessee; Peter to Missouri, and Rezin to Prince Edward Co., Va. Adam Porter, Jr. remained in Bath Co., Va. The daughters, too, married and moved to other places unknown.
