Robert Porterfield
Robert Huffard Porterfield, born on December 21, 1905, on the outskirts of Austinville, in Wythe County, Virginia. He died October 28, 1971, in Abingdon, Virginia. He was best known for founding the Barter Theatre there in 1933 during the Great Depression; in 1946, it was designated as the state theatre of Virginia. He served as artistic director of the year-round repertory theatre until his death in 1971.
==Family history==
Robert Porterfield was the fifth generation of Porterfields born in the United States. His great-great-great-grandfather (John or Frank) arrived in the American colonies from Scotland in about 1760, probably through the port of Philadelphia. Like many immigrants of Scots, Irish, Scots-Irish, or German descent, he traveled from Pennsylvania down the Wilderness Road into the lush and fertile Shenandoah Valley. Finding that most of the best land was already staked out and occupied, he pushed on until finding some "unclaimed" real estate in Southwest Virginia, what is now called Glade Spring. All such colonists ignored the claims of Native Americans to their traditional territories.
