One more bit.... Bonnie EARLY SETTLERS OF SANGAMON COUNTY - 1876 By John Carroll Powell These biographies were submitted by a researcher and evidently abstracted from the 1876 History of Sangamon County, IL. Errors could occur, so one should always verify the correctness by obtaining copies of vitals and performing all necessary research to document what is contained herein. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- MOSTELLER, CHRISTOPHER , was born in Buncombe county, North Carolina, went to Butler county, Ohio, when a young man; and was there married to Phoebe Sackett. They had two children in that county, and moved to Union county, Ind., where they had two children; returned to Butler county, Ohio, and from there came to Sangamon county, Ill., arriving in the spring of 1830, in what is now Salisbury township. Of their children-- THOMAS, born Oct. 8, 1807, in Butler county, Ohio, was married in Franklin county, Ind., July 21, 1827, to Charlotte Morris.

Many thanks for the contributions of all on my search for ggrandfather Job Davenport. It is however very unlikely that the Job's of Ohio or Illinois were mine as he is clearly identified in every census as a resident of Madison County, NY until 1860 where he raised a family and married twice. After that.........poof, and they were gone! It is possible however that the Job of Ravenna, Michigan was one of the others, if so he obviously he was down on his luck as he was listed as a laborer in Michigan. The Photostats of the original US Census reports for Michigan in 1870 are available on the Web posted by the Michigan State Library.. Bob Davenport San Diego

Glenora Believe me - I am not getting paid to "solicit affiliates" for Family Tree DNA. I purchased my own kit a few days ago and will be spending more time to creating a website later. There are 3-4 primary companies that do this sort of thing and in the Genelogy-DNA-L list there is much discussion about the various companies. Family Tree DNA seems to get high phrase from everyone that uses it. Bill Davenport

Browsing through Wingfield's History of Caroline County again, I found these two mentions of Davenports which were not in the index. Carmel Baptist Church, organized in Caroline County in 1773, was situated about 12 miles southwest of Bowling Green, Virginia. Among the families represented in this church were DAVENPORT and TERRY. The first name of the church was Polecat from its proximity to Polecat Creek! Can be found on page 319. War of 1812: Richard Davenport (Gideon's son I assume) was a corporal in Capt. Armistead Hoomes Company, Virginia Militia, stationed at Camp Holly, first under the command of Major William Armistead, and afterwards under Col. John H. Cooke from March 24 to August 16, 1813. Can be found on page 231. Also I found a Richard Davenport who was granted 71 acres on Muddy Fork in Christian County, Kentucky on August 19, 1815. This may have been Absalom's son Richard "of Kentucky" but I need to do more checking. Jo Lynn

Hello.... I'm going to copy some information here that I found and wonder if you are aware of it. I found it thru the google search engine, and obviously its Morrow County, Ohio. Here it is There's more information about the Co., but don't know if there is on Job or not.... stopped at this so I could send it. Bonnie __________________________________________ 512 - HISTORY OF MORROW COUNTY. He worked a year, and, having accumulated a little farm of fifty-two acres, married and moved on to his land. It was situated in the northern part of the township, and is now owned by Christian Stovenaur. This farm was subsequently bought by Christian Stovenaur Sr., and Dillingham bought, and improved somewhat, the property now owned by L. M. Cunard. In 1820, Marquis Gardner, Joseph Philbric and Stephen Doty, Sr., with a son of the same name, came into Lincoln. Gardner had come to Peru in 1816 with his father, John Gardner, from Virginia. The head of the family was a Scotchmar), and came over as one of the British troops in the war of the Revolution, and was with Cornwallis at the surrender of Yorktown. Pleased with the country, lie determined to make it his home, and did not return to his native land. He settled in Virginia 1 and afterward emigrated to Peru, where he died. About 1820, Joseph Philbric, a native of Maine, came into this township and bought some two hundred acres of land in the southern part of the township; soon after, Marquis Gardner, who was related to Philbric by marriage, came to the latter's place, and, later, bought the property, where his son Robert now lives. This part of the township at that time was sparsely settled, and it is related that the Gardners were obliged to invite the settlers living within a radius of eight miles about, to raise their buildings. Doty was a native of Maine, and first "squatted" on the school lands in Harmony, but in a short time bought the land now owned by Collins Buck. Appleton Snell, from Maine, and James McConica, an Irishman, came into the settlement, and, marrying daughters of Mrs. Hubbell, built cabins and became members of the little community. The Pompey section, as it is called, was settled, about 1828, by a number of families that came originally from Pompey, N. Y. Prominent among these were the families of Leander Benson and his brothers Darius and Almeran; Job Davenport, Ephraim Davenport, John H. Warner, Lyman Wheeler and Job Liggett. A little later, in the southeastern part of the township, came Peter Powell and T. P. Ashbrook. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert E.

Bob: I can no longer remember the genealogical savant who shared this with me, but it was his opinion that Older Women were not above shaving a few years off their ages for Census enumerators in decades past. He cited a number of instances where he had found this to be so. But it would not be PC to so generalize today. So I pass this on merely as a curiousity of the primitive viewpoints of our unenlightened past. Doc

Glenora: I am not an FTDNA Associate and I get no money from them for anything. I happen to believe we need to use Y DNA as another way of doing genealogy and I strongly urge people to get a study started on their surname, or to participate in one if it is already ongoing. As you imply, I might not participate in one where the person organizing it is getting any afiliate fees. However, since there are several testing companies, there is nothing stopping one from starting a study at the lab of their choice. Regards, Steven C.

I have long looked for the whereabouts after 1860 of a Job Davenport [my great grandfather], born in RI in about 1810. Yesterday I ran into an individual with that name living alone , according to the 1870 census, in Ravenna Michigan. According to the Census, he had been born in NY state which is where my Job had spent his adult life. Unfortunately, his age was given as 69 or about ten years older than my Job would have been. Two questions... Is anyone aware of or can claim this Michigan Davenport? Do people lie to the census about their ages to make themselves older? Bob Davenport

Teri, I tried it and I get the same error. I've sent an email to a friend of mine (computer tech) to ask her if she knows anything about it. An aside to other Davenport researchers - Teri is GREAT! She and I are 9th cousins once removed on one side and 10th cousins on another side of our family. When I went to NY from S Carolina this past summer, Teri and her family took my husband and me to my GGGG-grandparents old homestead. They spent an entire day and evening entertaining us and making us feel like we were really welcome!

Hi- Could someone do me a huge favor? When I go to our site DavenportFamily.1colony.com I cannot view Custom or Custom 2 pages. I get a 674 error. Does anyone else have that trouble? Thank you for your help......cuzzin Teri

Just a thought... Has any of you met people while researching your Davenport that you really like? These people you were sure were your cuzzin due to your research. People that you now have a relationship with and call your cuzzin? What will happen to that relationship if it's determined your not related? Sure, you'll still be friends; but, you will no longer be family! That will break my heart, how bout yours? Cuzzin Teri

Recently I sent out a message to the list that we had set up a Davenport Surname Project at Family Tree DNA. This is a company that does DNA testing and analysis for genealogy researchers. Now for the rest of the story. As most of you know there are several Davenport lines in the U.S. This includes but not limited to the following: Rev John Davenport of New Haven Colony arriving in Boston in the early 1600s. Thomas Davenport of Dorchester (Boston) arriving prior to 1640 Richard Davenport, Davis Davenport, etc... There has been a lot of speculation that some or all of these lines are linked. But no proof either way has been discovered. That is where Y-DNA testing can be an additional tool. The Y-chromosome is passed on from father to son virtually unchanged through the generations. If enough "markers" on the Y-chromosome are the same between Davenport Line 1 and Davenport Line 2 then the odds are better they had a common ancestor. There have been several links to good sites explaining this in more detail previously on this list so I won't go into that. So our goal is to get samples from several individuals in each line and see how they compare. There is no limit. Eventually I intend to create a website with results. No individual names will be used. This is also not limited to the U.S. - Davenports from other countries are encouraged to participate too. To participate: You must be a male. Females don't have the Y-chromosome. You must have the Davenport surname -- by birth -- not acquired through adoption. There are two different tests -- the 12 and 25 marker. The test that checks 25 markers would be more useful for our purposes, but 12 is still OK. Since this is a "project" we will get a discounted price. 12 marker Y-DNA test   $99 + postage ($2) 25 Marker Upgrade  (from a 12 marker)    $90 25 marker Y-DNA test   $169 + postage ($2) "Your genetic test kit consists of a cheek scraper and a collection tube. In about five minutes, you will be able to read the instructions and perform a painless cheek scraping. The effect of using the scraper is about the same as brushing your cheek with a soft bristle toothbrush. A backup scraper & tube is included to insure that a good sample is obtained by our lab. We intend that you use them both! " Anyone interested can contact me by email and I will give you a link to purchase the kit as part of the group. Any results (names) can be as confidential as you like. Since Family Tree DNA will release the results by an ID # - I do not know what line you may be connected with -- so I need some additional information: Please tell me which line you KNOW you are connected to OR Which line you BELIEVE you are connected to OR If you do not know which line you are connected to If anyone has other questions you can email me at [email protected] So... Let the fun begin. Bill Davenport [email protected]
