I don't know if there is a connection to your Davenports. Were your Davenports near Birmingham? I am not familiar with where Dardenelle AR is located. If it is near Marion Co. perhaps there is a connection. What time frame did they settle there? Mary

Hello Earl, I've been researching Isham Davenport, son of John and Lucy Davenport for quite a few years now which has not been real easy. Especially talking about his early family. I believe he has been married 4 times - because of Census Records for the first marriage. Marriage 2, 3 and 4 are documented. #1 ? had 3 children. Names I 'believe to be correct are Joel - born c 1829 - died 1850 Russell Co., VA - Mary Polly - b. about 1826 in Russell Co., VA married Andrew Williams - Lucinda Davenport b. c 1829 married Isaac Kestner. These 3 I have no 'Proof' for. Wife # 2 - Rebecca Suffridge (Sulfridge)... This is our ancestor 1. John Davenport b. 1832 Russell Co., VA d. Dec. 31, 1861 Lynchburg,VA 2. Rachel Davenport b. c. 1834 3. David Davenport b. March 19, 1836/37 d. Dec. 25, 1914 Johnson City,TN 4 William Davenport b. May 15, 1841/42 Washington Co., VA d. Mar 5, 1909 Dayton, Ohio 5.

(Don't know what that means) Wife # 3 is Frances Jennings Hall m. Dec. 23, 1848 1. Elizabeth Davenport b. 1850 Russell Co., VA m. Oliver H. Powers Aug 12, 1869 2. Robert Davenport b. 1852 Russell Co., VA 3. Martha Ann Davenport b. Aug 29, 1853 4. Charles Wesley Davenport b. May 24, 1858/1859 Wife # 4 Rebecca Jane Singleton 1. Richmond H. Davenport b.

Let me know what you need or what you have that I might not and I'll be happy to share. Bonnie Davenport.

Hello Researchers: With the current interest in KY Davenports I am repeating an earlier offer on information including the Davenports who married into the Moses family. These Davenports include: William Davenport m. Mary Caddell Moses, other Davenports include: siblings- Samuel,Jonce, Mackey,Mollie,Josephine, Lou. This is not my family line but I do have extensive research. Anyone who recognizes the names please write and I will share the information I have. Thanks, Phil Triebes Newberry Davenports

Mary, you may want to contact a Dr. Leon Marsh in Arab, Alabama. His mother was a Davenport and he has done 40 years of research on the Davenports. I do know there was a Sallie Davenport in our family. My family descended from Willis Augustus Davenport who was born in 1808 and died in 1881. He married a Francis Coker and they lived in the upstate(Greenville county) of South Carolina. I do know some of the children moved to Alabama in the mid-1800's. Dr. Marsh can fill in the missing pieces. Good luck and stay in touch. Roy Willis Davenport

Would anyone happen to have a list of the children of Isham Davenport in VA/KY in the first half of the 1800's? The spelling might be Devenport. Earl

I am trying to locate the Davenports (Devenport) who migrated from Alabama settling in Dardanelle, AR. Any connection? Their names were John Polk m. Mary Liza(Eliza) Jane Hudson, and John Wesley m. Elmira Pinson. Thanks, Jann OKC

Hi to my "listmates" (new term!) I found a wonderful website called Classmates.com, used to locate former classmates. I located my mother's high school and have E-mailed someone who graduated high school with her in Chicago in 1934! You can look up classmates and schools for free, but to be able to obtain their E-mail addresses and get alumni information, they charge $25 for two years membership. I think this could be a great tool for contacting friends of our parents and grandparents. Margobelle

I am a new member of this site and am trying to locate relatives of a Sallie Davenport who was related to W.T. Davenport of Marion Co. Arkansas. This Sallie was the grandmother to Mary Margaret Bell who was born in Jefferson Co. Alabama in 1854. Sallie moved to Marion Co. Ark. with Mary Margaret about 1868 to live near the W. T. Davenport family. Is there any one who has connection with this person or can provide me with some leads. Thanks, Mary Hamlin pahofwa@aol.com

To Presley Davenport researchers Please keep in mind that Francis Davenport Jr. who lived on Little River in Newberry Co., SC named a son, Presley Davenport, in his will of January 5, 1798. It is obvious that this Presley did not remain in Newberry and I would like to hear from anyone who is able to identify him in another location. R. L. Guffin

Paul, The Criddle/Credelle family knew the Davenports in VA before they moved to Georgia. Carla Davenport

Bonnie, Yes I did note your previous message that there was a Presley G. Davenport in the Pike County census of 1840. My records show that my Presley's eldest brother, James, was born in Pike County in 1831. Sibling #2, Lue, was born in Cherokee County in 1833 and sibling #3, Matilda, was born in Henry County in 1839. It is quite possible that they could have been back in Pike County again in 1840. I haven't had a chance to view this census yet, but it will be interesting to note the age ranges of Presley G.'s children when I do. My records show that sibling #4, Jesse Dawson, was born in Henry County in 1844. That would mean that they moved from Henry Co. back to Pike Co. and then back to Henry Co. again. This is certainly possible in view of the way that they had been moving around from 1831 to 1839. I thank you for telling me about the census report. I had not checked any GA census rolls at all.

Dear Cousins, Having read about Paul Crunk's Presley Davenport of VA and his possible connection to Davis Davenport of VA, I suddenly remembered that this Saturday, 8 Jan 2000, marks the 65th anniversary of the birth of Elvis Presley (my idol when I was a teenager) of MS (Mississippi, not Microsoft ;-). I wondered if there might be a connection between the Davenport and Presley surnames (Davis > Elvis?) and decided to find out. I found my answers on RootsWeb (our benefactor), of all places. Alas, no connection is apparent (however, I did find out that Elvis is probably a cousin of ex-President Jimmy Carter). For anyone wishing to learn more about the ancestors of Elvis, please visit http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/notable/elvis.htm Even if you don't care about Elvis or his ancestors, you should visit this page because it contains links that will help you find information about other "notables", including Ahnentafels of each of the American Presidents (in progress). For those of you on the list that are not "American" (the number of you are growing and your presense is *very* welcome), I invite you to write directly to RootsWeb and volunteer to help them become a little more "International" in scope. They have limited resources (less than 10% of the people who benefit from the vast information they provide actually donate to help keep it going) and they can use all the help they can get with collecting and publishing valuable data (i. e. Free BMD records from England, etc.). Regards, Nevada Jack ListManager Jack@Ralph.org

Paul, Don't mean to repeat myself, but did you note that there is a Presley G. Davenport in the Pike County Georgia census records in 1840?.

Dear Cousins, I would like to thank all cousins who have replied to my submission. I am very excited and feel that I will soon make my connection and add onto the Pamunkey Davenport Tree. In viewing the information on Nevada Jack's website, I noticed that Presley Glover Davenport, son of Martin Slaughter Davenport and Polly Nunnally, had a sister named Catherine. What intrigues me is that she married an Ellington Credelle on 4 Jan 1831 in Clarke County, GA. From my records, my Presley married a Sarah Abigail Criddle, born 1814 in Greene County, GA, in 1830. It would seem possible that Ellington and Sarah might be kin, siblings even . I am going to Hopkins County, TX tomorrow. If I find a middle name of Glover or even a middle initial "G." for my Presley, you must know what I am going to assume! Paul

Looking for the ancestry of William DAVENPORT b. 1815 Wilkes Co., N.C. married abt. 1840 Mary 'Polly' TATUM b. 1818 N.C. Children: Rebecca Camaline b. 6 Mar. 1842 Watauga Co., NC. Gibson B. b 1843 Depha b. 1844 Sarah b. Jan. 1848 Watauga Co. , NC. married James Jeremiah 'Jim' LAWRENCE Rhoda J. b. Jul. 9, 1852 Cove Creek, NC Feb. 20, 1870 married John Andrew Jackson WILSON Polly J. b. 1858 Watauga Co., NC. Seems as tho William, Mary, Gibson and George disappeared during or after the Civil War and no trace or what happened to them as yet. Have not been able to find a father for William DAVENPORT or where his ancestors came from. Would appreciate any info that may be out there. Thank You; Nina from Montana
