During the Civil War, there was a serious problem with "Bushwhackers". Porter frequently experienced raids on his crops, shoes, as well as the hogs he had raised for family consumption. On one occasion, he related to his grandson he had been on the outlook for such activity and had his gun ready. "Nary a-one got away", he told his grandson. Another time the bushwhackers broke into his home, assaulting and torturing him by holding his feet in the fireplace. Porter's wife, Sarah Jane, got a shotgun and sneaked into the house and forced the men to leave. Granddaughter, Anna Pinckley, said that she had seen the scars on her grandfather's feet.
