The Porter family are a deeply inbred group of highway robbers and kidnappers. They reside at Chez Porter and are extremely reclusive, to the point where they have developed their own dialect, resembling English somewhat but with many made-up words. The family are also rumored to have treasure stashed somewhere on the property, and are very hostile to outsiders.
Events of Red Dead Redemption 2[]
After having heard about the family's treasure, Javier tells Arthur about his plan to rob them, and persuades Arthur to accompany him. Arthur is reluctant at first but eventually agrees when Javier asserts that there’s not much chance of them getting caught, due to the family's remote location.
The duo eventually arrive at the property, using the cover of the forest to evade being spotted. Arthur and Javier hide behind a shed, where they hear Pappy reprimanding Newt. Javier then tells Arthur that he has an idea to distract them, and asks him to move out of sight. Once Arthur gets into place, Javier sets fire to a hay bale, causing the family members to run outside in a panic. At that moment, Arthur and Javier suddenly ambush them, starting a shootout. All of the family are wiped out during being the excursion, including Edie, who was given the job of guarding the barn. Picking up on the Porter family's emphasis on defending the barn, Arthur suggests that he and Javier should look there for the money. They soon find a lockbox with a large sum of money in it; they split the take and then ride away from the property before eventually returning to the camp.
No trace of the Porter family can be found after the assault, suggesting that they have been wiped out.
Trivia[]
Attacking the family's homestead prior to the mission with Javier has no effect on the mission itself, as both the family and the property will be intact.
Attacking the homestead outside of the companion activity unlocks unique dialogue between family members which reveals they believe an event called "the awakening" is imminent and contact with outsiders will somehow affect their purity. More dialogue reveals that Mal and Finney were keeping a woman out in the woods and implies that Pappy killed her when he found her.
The name is one of the most common in every kind of Irish record since the thirteenth century, but most in Ulster will be of post-Plantation origin. The most famous of the name in Ulster was a Presbyterian minister, the Revd James Porter, 1753-98, of Greyabbey, Co.
Porter Genealogy. The 'Porter' surname is English and Scottish: it's an occupational name for the gatekeeper of a walled town or city, or the doorkeeper of a great house, castle, or monastery, from the Middle English term porter, meaning 'doorkeeper', or 'gatekeeper' (Old French portier).
Porter is an English surname with Anglo-Norman roots. It is an occupational name, coming from the French 'porteur'. A porter would be the door-keeper, carrier or janitor of a castle or monastery (often a hereditary position).
There is however one distinction you can make as far as differentiating between a name being Scottish or Irish. If it is an O' name it is always Irish (those in Scotland are mostly nineteenth century emigrations), but if it is a mac, mc or other variation it can be both Scottish or Irish!
The English Porter is moderate-strength, light brown to dark brown colored beer with a restrained roasty malt character and bitterness. It may have a range of roasted flavors, generally without burnt qualities, and often has a chocolate-caramel-malty profile.
It may surprise you to know that surname name Porter was fairly popular in the US in the 19th and early 20th centuries, then went underground for 40 years only to reemerge at the turn of this century and climb the ladder again. Now, it's wobbling around the middle of the Top 1000 list for boys, not a bad place to be.
