Mary, I did it once, but I had to put the entire program on the CD just to get the files. However, I have tried again to do it on another CD and no luck, so I have no idea what I did the first time to make it work, but I had the whole program on a CD. Wish I could be of more help, but I do know it can be done. Mary Crutchfield <[email protected]> wrote:Hi, Unfortunately Family Treemaker currently does not have the system set up to copy to a CD.

Hi, Doesn't sound like this is the William I am looking for.....My William, born in 1819, died in 1893 and is buried in Old Camden Cemetery Pennville, Jay Co., IN. I don't believe he ever was in New Orleans. He was married to Martha Sedgwick and children were ....John F., Thomas, Charles E., Oliver Hampton (my gr-grandfather), Lafayette, Mary Catherine and William L. But could you give me an address for Margo McBride please, so I can make sure?

Thanks Teri. Dot P. Pourteau

Hello everyone... As most of you already know, my Davenport site at DavenportAncestors.host12.com doesn't seem to be working. I am at a loss as to the cause of this problem. I've gotten no response on my numerous emails to support at the host company. So that no-one has to wait to see their Davenport's, I've set up a temporary site for your viewing pleasure. It's a small site consisting of a Home Page and two custom pages with the 32 generations of Orme de Davenport. Our "As Yet Unconnected" Davenport pages will be added. So if you're looking for southern Davenport's, just know it will be coming in the next couple days. I will let you know when DavenportAncestors.host12.com is back up & running smoothly again! Due to the speed with which I put together the temporary site, some people may be missing. Given time, I will add more individuals. Thanks for your understanding and patience.....Teri Dimmett http://DavenportFamily.1colony.com

I just thought I would mention that Ann Blomquist who published the transcription of the Southam Vestry Book, has another book in the works as a result. She has done maps of processioning districts with neighbors, etc. She keeps telling me that if my John Hyde Saunders, Sr.was more likely to have married a Taylor than a Fleming because of the "neighbor" connection, but I know the Saunders/Fleming relationship started earlier in York Co... Anyway...so we have that to look forward too also. Best Regards, Janet Hunter

I had the film out on it about two years ago, but of course missed a few things I see. One had to read it page by page etc. At the time I read it, it crossed my mind that maybe it was James Terry who had a daughter Grace Terry who married Thomas Davenport Sr. James Terry definitely dominated the Vestry and Thomas Davenport named his eldest son "James." Well, just a thought. Gideon Glen, Drucilla' Davenport's husband, and Edward McGehee were also processioners. Jane Kyhl Beekman, Muncie, IN

As to Absalom Davenport: Absolom himself does not appear in the Southam Parish Vestry Book, but there are a number of mentions of the Stegars and other families in that Deep Creek-Muddy Creek neighborhood near Old Cumberland Court House, now Powhatan County. The most Absalom data that I know of is in "The Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles." Doc

Pamunkey Davenport & Terry Cousins: Ann K. Blomquist's "The Vestry Book of Southam Parish, Cumberland County, Virginia, 1745-1792" has just been published by Willow Bend Books, 65 East Main Street, Westminster, MD 21157-5026, in soft cover, 307 pages, every name indexed, at $28.50 plus postage and handling ($6.00 in my case). I don't mind giving it a plug because it is an extremely well done transcription and editing and has an introduction that is historically complete, well researched, and scholarly in its presentation. Since Janet Baugh Hunter alerted me to the upcoming publication--then by the Library of Virginia--a year or so ago, I have been eagerly awaiting this new original records resource for Davenports and Terrys of Colonial Southside Virginia. About half way into the publishing cycle at the LofVa last year, Commonwealth budget woes virtually shut down their book publishing function, leaving Mrs. Blomquist high and dry. However, she withdrew the manuscript and put it with Willow Bend Books, and now it's out and available. One of the reason we missed this in our early survey of available records was that Southam Parish went with Powhatan County when it was erected out of eastern Cumberland in 1777, and when the Anglican Church was disestablished after the Revolution in Virginia and faded out or down, Southam Parish was one of those to fold. By some good fortune, the Vestry Book ended up in the files of the Clerk of Courts of Powhatan County, where it has been well preserved--but somewhat hidden from those seeking Colonial church records. Whatever, it's now available. My copy arrived UPS this morning. I finished a fast reading by 1700 Hours today. It exceed my expectations as to Davenports. With evidence therein, I think we have to include Philemon Davenport, who died in an accident in 1764, as another son of Thomas Davenport, Sr. My expectations as to Terry data were satisfied, but I would liked to have seen more of a Daniel Terry presence. James Terry dominated the Vestry 1745-1751, Joseph Terry had a high profile, and Henry Terry and Zacariah Terry (eldest son of James) got mentions. Daniel Terry was present for one land processioning, and was ordered to do another processioning two years later--which he apparently did not do. (He and James Davenport were given an assignment in 1758 by the Antrim Parish Vestry, Halifax County--which they completed in 1763, which was his only church-related action there.) Thomas Davenport, Jr., was not only a Militia captain, Magistrate, Court Judge, Sheriff, Coroner, self educated physician, storekeeper, and had his brother-in-law operating a tavern out his (Thomas, Jr.'s) home, all in Cumberland County, but he also succeeded James Terry as the Clerk of the Southam Vestry in 1751 and held the office until 1772. In addition, he was a Vestryman for ten years, and a Churchwarden for two years, simultaneous with his service as Clerk until the Executive Council put a stop in 1760 to double dipping inside the same Vestry. At the outset of the Revolution, Thomas, Jr., unable to get Virginia to recognize his self-styled medical status, died as a British prisoner-of-war on a hulk in the Savannah River in early in 1780 as a Captain & Surgeon, 2nd Battalion of Foot, Georgia Continental Line. James Terry was a Reader at Tear Wallet Chapel, near the Terry-Davenport Settlement, Goochland-Cumberland, 1745-1751 (and he didn't miss a stride in becoming the first Reader appointed in Antrim Parish, Halifax County, in 1751). For those unfamiliar with a Reader in the Anglican Church, it was a lay member who read from the Book of Common Prayer when there was no minister present and members wanted a prayer meeting. Mrs. Blomquist has done us a great service/ John Scott Davenport Holmdel, NJ

Apparently the first page of my message didn't get sent. In brief, I'm looking for Richard, Jr. in the places where Keziah's kinfolk located. They really scattered after Richard Davis' death. If anyone wants the counties and states I'll send them again. That is, If you haven't located Richard, Jr. elsewhere, Doc, after he and Keziah "sold out" in Caroline in 1765. Did Richard own property there, too? Jeriah Davis was married to Stephen Terry and in some of Mark of New Zealand's notes he makes mention of the fact that they left their children behind when they moved to North Carolina. Jo Lynn

Janet: Relative to items already in the Chronicles, I got six Bentley hits on a "Find" sort: three Terry related, four Davenport related, five in Halifax, one in Powhatan, within a time frame from 1764 to 1801. The major item was James Davenport, son of James, Sr., selling a part of his land legacy to a Bentley. No family kind of association with either the Davenports or the Terrys, but that goes with the few associations and the long time span. Doc

Janet: In my working mode, all data helps, and I can fairly well interpret the implications and derivations appropriate with financial data. I have downloaded your Bentley File and taken a quick look. I have created a Daniel Terry milieu from the public records, but am not aware of a Bentley presence. But with my broad sweeps, I surely picked them up if they are in the neighborhood. I'll do a Bentley "Find" on the Chronicles and report back what I already have in file. Thank you for leg up. Doc
