Dear Alma:
I've checked my book "Death records of Grundy County Tenn." and do not
find a record for Porter Sanders. Death registration in TN began in
1908 but it was slow to catch on and many early deaths were not
recorded.
I do find an obit from the Tracy City newspaper re the death of
G.C.Sanders on 01 June 1911, which mentions his brothers John R. and
Porter Sanders. That would indicate that Porter was still living at that
time.
Best wishes for success with your search.

<font color=red size=+2>Homecoming ' 86, History of The Elk River Valley (Pelham Valley) of Grundy County, TN
</font> <BR>
This local history publication compiled by Arlene Partin Bean, Janelle Layne Coats was basically the re-telling of
family history stories taken from interviews done in the Pelham Valley area during the the 1880’s. Given this, one
must remember that a fact or two may be misconstrued along the way, but all in all there will be much more truth than
fiction found within these oral histories. <BR>
Our early Sanders family ancestors arrived in Franklin County TN (now Grundy Co) shortly after the turn of the 19th
century (abt 1805) and became one of the first families to settle there. When my great great great grandfather
Thomas Sanders Sr first arrived in the Pelham Valley along with the family his paternal Uncle Solomon Sanders, they
settled in the area known as Paynes Cove. The following sketch was found in the publication Homecoming 86 and
offers a bit of early history surround the cove as well as a Sanders family honorable mention : <BR>
<font color=red size=+1> Paynes Cove</font> <BR>
Thomas Payne Sr and wife Yannaka Ayers owned land with their son, Poindexter Payne, in Franklin County, GA. They
sold their land in 1822, and Poindexter moved to Pendleton County, SC. At some point between 1811 and 1820, he and his
family migrated to Franklin County, TN. When the 1820 census was taken, Poindexter Payne was living in Franklin
County, TN, and was reported to be over 45 years old. He had living with him: 3 males under 10, 1 male, age 16-18,
1male, age 18-28, 2 females under 10, 2 females, age 16-18, 1 female, age 26-45. The latter was wife, Annie Bell Hill.
<BR>
Poindexter and Annie Bell settled in the protected reaches of what is now their namesake, Payne's Cove. According to
oral history the first Payne settlement was right at the base of Spring Hollow, just northeast of Roberts' Cemetery.
The old homestead was located by a spring which supplied water, and the nearby forest supplied game. <BR>
A grandson of Poindexter Payne gave his name to the ridge which separates Payne's Cove & Burrows' Coves. He was
William Elson ?Bud? Payne who built a log house on the ridge and raised a family there with his wife Mary Angeline
Meeks. Jerome Payne still talks of the peach orchard his daddy planted on the side of the mountain and of the good
water which came from the spring on the ridge. Mary Elsie (Payne) Layne, Bud & Angie's daughter, related stories of
the night hikes along a narrow path to church either at Bethel or Payne's Cove. There is no house on the ridge today,
only the remains of an ancient rock chimney. Somewhere near the garden, now a mass of trees, are the graves of the
twin girls, lost at birth, who would have been a part of this mountain family. <I>The Payne & Sanders families appear
to have been contemporaries in the cove. Although neither family surname is now represented in Payne's Cove, there
are many descendants. <BR>

1. In November of 1832 Solomon SANDERS aged 92 stated under oath that he had been born in Craven County, N.C., in
1740. He also said that the records of his birth had been lost many years prior. ( To my knowledge No record has
been found to date that would show Solomon as an Irish Immigrant) <BR>
2. To my knowledge Solomon did not fight in the War of 1812 as suggested above but did serve two terms during the
Revolutionary War. See Solomon's Webpage on this site. <BR>
3. [Solomon and his wife had 11 children] This statement was made with the assumption thatThomas Sanders Sr. was
Solomons son. Thomas Sr was not Solomons son but rather the son of Solomon Sanders brother who died abt
1790-1972. Therefore Solomon Sanders was the paternal uncle of Thomas Sanders Sr. I am not a direct descendant
of Solomon Sanders and have not spent a great deal of time researching Solomons descendants.
