I am searching for Sandy or Alexander Porter, whose son, Joseph, was born in Wahoo in 1886. I found an Alexander Porter on the 1880 census, who was the step-son of Sidney P. Stevens. Does anyone have any information on the Stevens family that might allow me to determine if Alexander was indeed the "Sandy" Porter in my family tree?
