John Porter, a native of Virginia, moved to North Carolina in 1691 and became a prominent political and public figure in the Albemarle region. He was appointed Attorney General in 1694 and was General Court Justice and Speaker of the Assembly in 1697. In 1706, the Albemarle Quakers sent Porter to England to get relief for Quakers from the Lord’s Proprietors. After he returned, Porter got caught up in Cary’s Rebellion and had to flee to England, where he died a short time later.
