Thomas Foster Porter married Paralle "Pearl" Kirk on March 26, 1885. Pearl died in 1889 just a few days after the birth of Mary Foster Porter.

Thomas and the children then lived with his parents John Armstrong Porter and Nancy Porter, as recorded in the 1900 census.

Mary Foster Porter (child of Thomas and Paralle "Pearl" Kirk Porter) married on December 21, 1904 to Elliott Alexander "Zander" Jarrell b. April 7, 1876 (Boone County, WV) d.October 25, 1967 (Kanawha County, WV). Elliott was buried in Cunningham Memorial Park, St. Albans, WV. Mary and Elliott had 3 children.

Anna "Marie" Jarrell (child of Elliott and Mary Porter Jarrell) was born February 28, 1906 in WV. According to my grandmother, Marie was raised by the Crawfords.

Anna "Marie" Jarrell married Harry Lee Goodykoontz August 16, 1920 in Franklin County, OH. Marie lied about her age stating she was 19 years old, when she was actually 14 years old. Marie died December 18, 1984 in Miami County, OH. She is buried with her husband in Cedar Point Cemetery, Pasco, Shelby Co., OH.
