James Duncan MacNair. To some he was a pastor, to others a war hero. To my father, Duncan MacNair Porter, he was namesake and favorite uncle.

This site provides an overview of some of the most notable points in James Duncan's life. First, read through his entry in the 1944-45 Who's Who in America, which details his career as pastor, and as naval officer during World War I.

Next, take a look at photographs of James Duncan and his wife, Grace Tibbetts.

Finally, read through the Testimonial presented to James Duncan on March 29, 1943 from the Brookline Methodist Church of Pittsburgh, PA.

This site has been created in honor of someone greatly respected by one that I, in turn, greatly respect. It is the second in the Porter Family Series of websites (the other is Holyoke and Reaves: Two American Families, which details my mother's family).
