Katherine Ann Porter was born Callie Russell Porter in Indian Creek, Texas to Harrison Boone Porter and Mary Alice Jones Porter. She was the great-granddaughter of legendary American frontiersman Daniel Boone. After her mother's death in 1892, Porter's father took his four surviving children to live with his mother, Catherine Ann Porter, in Kyle, Texas. The family lived there until her grandmother died in 1901. The depth of her grandmother's influence on her can be inferred from Porter's adoption of her name later in life.
