(1737-1805)

Patrick Porter was among the early pioneer
settlers in present Scott County. Nearby on
Fall Creek is the site of Porter's Mill, built
by Porter in 1774, the earliest licensed mill
on waters of the Clinch River. Porter is also
credited with the erection of a fort house
in the same year to protect residents from
Indian attacks. His son Samuel travelled with
Daniel Boone to Kentucky in 1773 and in 1778
answered Boone's request for assistance in
defending Boonesborough.
