I found this Pressley or Presley Davenport in the Kentucky Marriage Records. He married Susannah Glover in 1793 . Hope this helps someone. Cathy

Jim: There were Davenports in King William County, Virginia, in the Nineteenth. Century. Peyton Neal Clarke in "Old King William Homes and Families" (1897) within the "Edwards Genealogy" (pp. 190-191) includes the family of Irenus Davenport of Walnut Hill, King William. Irenus married Anne Samuel King on 30Nov1887. Clarke gives little or no detail concerning Irenus except to note that he was the son of Isaac Davenport and Susannah Wingfield, and the grandson of Pumphrey Davenport and Elizabeth King. By my own research, Pumphrey Davenport was the son of Reuben Davenport and Rachel Crump of King William. Reuben, in turn, was the son of David Davenport, wife unknown, of Caroline. David was the son of Richard Davenport, wife unknown but believed to have been a Terry, of Caroline. Richard was one of the younger sons of Davis Davenport, the Patriarch of the Pamunkey Davenports, of King William. Davis' wife and mother of his children has not been identified. If you have not already researched the Federal Censuses of 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 for King William County, the odds would appear rather good that you will find the connection that you're looking for in that string of King William Davenports. To my knowledge, the only Davenports living in King William after the Revolution were of the line of Reuben of David. If I recall correctly, Reuben had two sons: Pumphrey and Henry. I have not read the King William censuses after 1820, for by that time my Davenports had gone to North Carolina in 1769, then north to Indiana in 1817. With all of the diverging lines of Pamunkey Davenports (descendants of Davis Davenport), as matter of policy I have not gone beyond 1820 with any lines except my own--Augustine, Sr., of Rowan (now Davidson) County, North Carolina, son of William of Spotsylvania, Virginia. With one exception, all of Augustine's children moved north of the Ohio River by 1830. Good hunting. I will be interested in what you find. John Scott Davenport Holmdel, NJ

Cliff, These messages were written with presumed knowledge. It is presumed by these writers that you have a knowledge of previous messages regarding the Bolling Family and their connections. Sometimes you have to go through your old e-mail and read the backup. Carla

Boy, if that was only on my line of ancestry. But the names and places don't match anything I've got so far. Thanks for posting it though, Chris. Doug Doug Dobbs Hagerstown, MD www.nfis.com/~dougdobbs/main.htm

I noted your informative E-mail on Davenports of Virginia. I, too, am researching Davenports of King WilliamCounty, Va.for my daughtwer-in-law, Brenda Davenport Birkitt whose father was Rawlings Grant Davenport whose father was Ernest Linden Davenport whose father was Edgar Morris Davenport (b. 1855)--all of King William. Is there any chance that you have run into any of these names in your research. I would be appreciative of a direct reply. Jim Birkitt, Jbirk45386@aol.com

I'm searching for information on my ggrandmother, her name was Henrietta Davenport McClain McNace. She was born May 13, 1846, don't know where. She married a Mr. McClain and had two boys and a girl. The boys names were William and Andrew, they were living in Canada in 1924, when my grandfather died. Henerietta married my ggrandfather sometime befoe 1883, that was the year my grandmother Ellen McNace Jay was born. Henerietta died on Dec. 14, 1892 after the birth of her last child. She lived in Story and Boone Counties in Iowa. My grandmother seemed to think her mother was from Davenport, Iowa and of English heritage. Hoping someone out there can help me fill in blanks? Thank you, Mary J. McConnell glmjmcc@theriver.com

For those of you who do not subscribe to Ancestry.com, the following database can be accessed free for a few more days. I found four Davenports: Charles, William W., Martin S., and Presley G. By deduction, I believe the first column of the displayed search results indicate the location of the new land acquired in the lottery, while the fourth and fifth columns indicate the winner's then current location. If any list member knows otherwise, will he/she be kind enough to set me straight. For what it's worth.
