Gabriel Davenport b. 1759 died Oct. 15, 1843, buried Oct 19, 1843 age 83 years. Married Abigail Woolverton and they had for children the following: James, William, Abigail, Ana Purdy May 14, 1794, Phoebe 1805, Samuel 1808, Mary 1814, James Archibald born Dec. 1870, died Apr. 1, 1923 married Elizabet ? Dec. 12, 1894 in York Co., New Brunswick, Canada and Joseph Barton born 1796, married Margaret "Peggy" Tompkins in Parish of Kent and had for children: Timothy 1839, Catherine 1841, James 1843, George Albert Mar, 13, 1845, Margaret 1846, John 1848, Frances 1850, Thomas 1851, Mary Ann 1866. Timothy, son of Joseph Barton and Margaret married Margaret Donovan and they had Wilford, Bartholomew, Zibie, Gideon Estabrook, Wallace Howard, Katherine Beatrice. Wallace was my greatgrandfather--married Jane Green from Summerfield, Carleton Co., New Brunswick, had Burtis, Viola Maude and Judson. He then walked out and left Jane with the little ones and came to Maine where he married (divorced first ?) Alma Marshall and they changed the name to Danford as Alma said the Davenport name was Indian and she didn't want that......and they had a daughter and 3 sons, the 3 sons being buried in Westfield, Aroostook Co., Maine. I have more dates and marriages, but don't want to clog the list with alot of things that might not be of interest to anyone else but myself, but if anyone has any information on this family, I sure would like to hear from you.

Gerry<<<<<<<<<<< Gerry, Imho, I'd say, do not despair (g), in fact you are closer to the original Davenports than those here who are still working in the U.S. on tracing their roots, because sooner or later they also have to cross the ocean and find who it was in England that came to this country in the first place.- Even to this day, most of the Davenports live in the Cheshire/Derbyshire counties of England and that is because Wm. the Conqueror granted land in Cheshire to one of his knights.

Cuzzin Teri, After reading 20 plus messages replying to your "MUST READ", and after 40 years of research, I would still like to Jump the Puddle and claim relation to Orme's line but - I have no proof of a connection. Sure, I am surrounded with 40 years of paper;paper;paper - but with all that the only sure thing to date that comfirms what I currently have in all of my paper work, is my DNA matches with someone else back to our Dorchester Ancestor. Where do we go from here ???????? I agree that the spelling of our name seems at the mercy of whom ever chooses to write it, but lets all pull together, Paper wise for Teri - but also support for the DNA project.

Who accused you of being from the south? Ain't nothing wrong with being southerner. My Dad's family were born & raised in the warm sunshine regions. My paternal Davenport's are southern. My maternal Davenport's are northern. Hey maybe I should have been named "Mason Dixie"!!!! Teri

Atta boy (or girl) GEB!!!! Well said! A "real" Davenport is anyone who is proud of their heritage, their ancestors, their descendants and themselves! We may all have different DNA, but we still have one major thing in common...we're Davenport's.......Teri

Becky: Good point, but bad example. Maybe I summarized it to much. I didn't know people actually read that part of the page. Doc, an "authority" on the Pamunkeys long ago has speculated that Davis Davenport (b. abt 1660) was not born a Davenport. He has not found anything on the parents of Davis. However, there was an Ann Davenport in the area that Davis could have obtained the name from. In other words Davis could have taken the Davenport name from his mother instead of his father (maybe surname Davis?). Doc can correct me on my interpretation. If something like this happened, then Davis would pass on the Y-DNA from his father - a "non-Davenport". From that point on all the male Davenports descended from Davis (Pamunkeys) would carry Davis' father's Y-DNA. It would be different from any other Davenport line. At the moment there are not many other surnames that match this pattern of DNA. We are looking into some possibilities. The 300-400 year range was used because Davis was born about 1660 and that what we were interested in. Bill Davenport [email protected] Davenport Surname DNA Project Administrator ---------- In a message dated 6/19/2003 6:04:11 PM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Bill, perhaps one line of text on the DNA website is causing some confusion and should be eliminated. It isn't regarding Humphrey, but the Pamunkey Davenports. It says: "This may support the theory that The Pamunkey Davenports originated from a non-Davenport 300-400 years ago." I'd say this is too speculative. It would only support that theory if all other lines were similar, which we now know they aren't. Surnames didn't even exist until about 600 years ago. It isn't surprising to find several lines of unrelated people adopted the same surname. It doesn't mean any one of them is non-Davenport or more Davenport than anyone else. Maybe some have gotten the idea that the DNA project is to see who is a "real" Davenport, which of course, it isn't and can't do.

My DAVENPORT / DEBENPORT / DEAVENPORT line spelled the name all these ways, or that is the way I am finding it in the 1870-1880 Sharp Co. Arkansas census. Virginia Lee Searching for William S. or L. DAVENPORT. Married: Sarah A.CARPENTER br: 19 Jan. 1833 in Henderson TN. Do not know if they were married in Tn or Ar. William S. or L. DAVENPORT died in Lawrence County, Arkansas in 1855. Want to find William S or L DAVENPORT`s family line. Their children were: Mary Jane DAVENPORT. 1852/53 Stephen Robert DEVENPORT, 1854. Mary Jane lived her life in Sharp Co. She married a RING. Stephen Robert moved to Scott Co. Arkansas. Hope someone else is also researaching this family.

Glad to see that the CLAN has not been forgotten. Its been a long time with NOT much activity about US. Like I said before Them Davenports sure were good at helping Adam and Eve.

Thank you for the claification...I will put the link back, I acted hastily and I apologize....Teri

Talk about FIGHT talk. My Dad, uncles, and grandfather asserted that Yankee was actually a 3-syllable word. My Uncle TD was the worst. His two greatest fears about my genealogy searchings: -That I'd find some "people of color" <NOT his exact wording!!> in our ancestry -WORSE YET: That we might have ancestors from "The Nawth". -- He complained bitterly that we were all wrong when we found his own mama's grandpa fought for the Union in the War of Secession. My gg father William Asbury Devenport supposedly fought in the Confederate Forces. The only record in the Confederate rolls is: "W. A. Devenport, absent on leave" 1 month. NEXT MONTH: "W. A. Devenport, absent WITHOUT leave". The only "details" we have of his confederate service ( he was a strapping 16 years at the time): He received permission to return home to "take care of sick relatives". While there, the area was overrun by Yankee soldiers. William hid out in the woods during the day and would only come to the house for supper and sleeping at night. The family contrived to help him by hollering "Oh, PAP!!!!" whenever soldiers were near, as if calling for an elderly relative. One night, while sitting at supper (dinner to you dern-Yankees), Union soldiers surrounded the home and called for William to come out and give himself up. William clambered out a back window, and escaped, crawling on his hands and knees through the brush. Whenever he heard footsteps approaching, he'd "Grunt like a Hog" and keep crawling. He escaped unharmed. As far as we've been able to determine, he never fired a shot in anger. Unlike my other Great-Grandpa Pitt, who shot a neighboring Texas sheepherder in the back, over a water dispute. As for the high cost of DNA testing, several in my cousins and family contributed $10, $20, or $30 to the "pot", so it didn't cost any of us too much, and the results will be very interesting and eagerly examined by us all. This is possible since it only requires one male relative to get his DNA sample submitted.

Teri: The DNA project is for ALL Davenports/Devenports. I thought that was understood. When I first agreed to take on this project I never in my wildest dreams expected to find all of us Davenports were related. Regarding your Humphrey line - all we have proven so far is that the Humphrey > William > William > William > William > William > James branch is not related to any other line tested so far. We have two participants from that branch and they match each other. I haven't made a big thing of it yet because of the limited results. If we had a different branch ie - Humphrey > Humphrey tested we would know more. It may be that the other Humphrey lines match the Rev. John of New Haven exactly. Who knows? It is way to early to draw any major conclusions. I am sorry you removed your link to the DavenportDNA Project. I will keep yours.
