Hi, I'm searching for a Myrtle and Teak Nipper who were sisters. Here is what I know. Myrtle married a Mont McNeely from NC. Myrtle lived for many years in Fountain City TN. Myrtle was born in TN June 02, 1898 Myrtle died in NC April 21, 1993 Teak married a Davenport After Teak died Myrtle remarried Teak's husband Davenport. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for DAVENPORT ancestors through Okla. this is what I have Gus (S.A.)Davenport b. June 30, 1867, d. Nov. 11.1922 Palentine cem. His wife Florence Harkins Davenport . They had 9 children, Ollie. Idus. Ivan. Odus. O.Bea. Gladys, Faye, Iris and Irene, were twins. Florence Davenport b. Jan. 6, 1868 and died July 29.1910 in childbirth of twins Iris and Irene. Odus Davenport was my grandfather, and Willis Davenport was Odus Davenports grandfather. Florence Davenport was also buried in Palentine cem. Pittsburgh County, Okla.. Thanks Tom.

Can anyone tell me if there is any place on the internet to view a NC 1900/20 Census?

This is absolutely only possibility.... not fact. I am not studying this same John but because I am studying a John born in 1765 I had run across the John you are referring to that died in NC. From what I had written its possible the Sarah was a Sarah King, and that John was born in Bedford Co. also to Mathew Davenport and had a brother Mathew. If this is the same person, he did go to NC. Remember, only suggestions.

Jack There are two or three of civil war era, but I cant think of who, or the site where they're found. I believe Joe(?) Davenport had them put on the web by a McKay person.

Glenora I doubt any connection. My Grandpa was one of only two Pamunkey Davenports that came to Oregon. He, depressed from the loss of his first wife, was urged to go visit his aunt in Oregon, and ended up marrying her daughter. Second cousins. To our knowledge, they and their descendants are the only ones out here. But we could be wrong and just not know of others. Thanks for the interest.
