Chris, If memory serves me, Cornelius DAVENPORT lived in Milton and he was the son of the last Humphrey on my line (whom I call "Humphrey#3"). There were a few other Humphreys after that time on other lines though. Interesting that he'd move there, near where Cornelius lived. All, Just had a real thrill on another family line the last two days. Recently I "found" a "new" great-great-great uncle who was a CW soldier and today I visited the National Archives and got to handle the actual original enlistment papers for him. Pretty astounding feeling. Yesterday I visited his grave at Arlington. Mucho information gleaned from that and some other sources that dropped in my lap. I'm walking on air! Poor guy never had a chance to marry nor raise a family. My direct ancestor and two uncles all perished in May and June, 1864. One was his brother (this newly found one), and the other was his wife's brother. Doug

Genealogy question not about Davenports. With all the vast amount of knowledge, someone might have an answer. Has anyone ever had the given name Ivy attached to a male of any surname. I have a new quandary about a 'new' person, and so far have located nothing. Also have an old photo of a male, with the name Ivy on the back, but the top of the writing is cut off so the name Ivy may not belong to the person. Since it is not in regards to a Davenport, any response would probably be better sent privately. Cliff Davenport

I was looking through some old posts and came across one where it mentions that there were several Humphrey Davenports that moved around the New York State, Utica and other areas. It mentions that Humphrey had some children that remained in NY and didn't move with him to NJ. I wanted to know if anybody did get a chance to check out the Kingston DRC records. The note also mentions a Thomas Davenport that was said to be a relative of Humphrey. He lived in the Cold Spring area of NY. I'm curious if anybody has any info on this Thomas. My Thomas Davenport was married to Jane Kimble (d.1903). They had a son named William (b. 2-28-1864, d 4-13-1949 m. Martha Rome). I don't know if Thomas and Jane were were married in NY or NJ. They eventually did move to NJ to the Oak Ridge/Milton area. If this sounds familiar to anyone, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks! Chris Strube :)

Although I have very little information about this family . . . most interested if anyone can shed any light on parents of Bedford Davenport.

I want to correct some wide-spread misinformation about the parentage of ANNIE COMER DAVENPORT, wife of BEDFORD DAVENPORT, which seems to have as its source The Anne Kendrick Walker book,* Braxton Bragg Comer: His Family Tree from Virginia's Colonial Days.* Walker wrote that Samuel Comer had but one daughter, Rebecca, and dismissed the other females listed in Samuel's will as his daughters as *nieces*, the daughters of John Comer JR. ANNIE COMER, however, is the daughter of SAMUEL COMER and ELIZABETH MOSS, not of ANNA CARROLL and JOHN COMER JR. (Samuel's brother.), although the latter had a daughter named Annie. We know this because Samuel Comer's will written on 4 February 1788 and proved on 22 December 1788 in Halifax co., VA reads in part: *I give and bequeath to my son James Comer...........unto my son Anderson Comer.........unto my daughter Mary LeGrand..........unto my daughter Sally Lucus.......unto my daughter Nancy Comer........unto my son Hugh Moss Comer......unto my daughter Rebecca Comer... (and) ..unto my daughter Annis Davenport the remainder part of all I possess.....* Major Thomas Davenport and Bedford Davenport were chosen as executors. Witnesses were Will McCraw Jr., John Woodson, James McCraw Jr., Samuel McCraw, James Kent, Joseph Holt, and Robert Easly. Sec. Joseph Holt, Robert Easly. It seems unlikely that Samuel Comer would have left the bulk of his estate to someone Walker calls a niece, particularly in view of the fact that in 1765 he had already given his niece Annie Comer, orphan of John Comer Jr., 220 acres, her share of her father's lands. More telling, however, in the Charlotte Co. Guardian Accounts 1782-1789, p. 113, Aug, 1792, is an item which identifies Nancy as the daughter of Samuel Comer and which reads in part: *..... John Bassett and my now wife Nancy Comer, orphan of Samuel Comer, guardian, Josiah Legrand......:* And most telling of all, Annie Comer Davenport and her husband Bedford Davenport were part of a litigation in 1797 over the estate of James Moss of New Kent county who died without heir and who was the brother of Elizabeth Moss Comer. They granted *power of attorney to brother Moss Comer to collect our portion of the estate of James Moss decd. of New Kent. ( Recorded DB17/137)* Had Annis not been the daughter of Elizabeth Moss and Samuel Comer, and, therefore, the niece of James Moss, she would have had no claim on the estate. John Comer Jr.'s children had no right to any part of the estate, having no kinship to James Moss. In addition to Annis and Bedford Davenport, Rebecca Comer and William Clay in TN, and James Comer and Anderson Comer in Georgia gave power of attorney to Hugh Moss Comer to collect their portions of the estate. There seems no credible reason to believe that the persons Samuel called "daughters" in his will were not, in fact, his daughters. Annis Davenport,wife of Bedford Davenport: Mary LeGrand, wife of William LeGrand; Sally Lucus, wife of Moses Lucus; Nancy, later Bassett; and Rebecca, later Clay, were undoubtedly sisters. Neither names nor numbers fit with their being the daughters of John Comer Jr. whose daughters numbered but two, namely Elizabeth Lucus wife of John Lucus, and Annie. It is more than a little strange that Walker added a daughter to those of John Comer Jr: Anna Sammonds; she was not, however, a daughter but his widow as the division of his estate makes clear: * 1762 Dec. 9th. A Division of the Estate of John Comer Dec'd and Anna Sammonds,Wid. of the Dec'd. ,William Comer, Elizabeth Lucus, Daniel Comer, Samuel Comer and Annis Comer Heirs of the Dec'd. Wm. and Annis Sammond..... .......Rec. of the Dec'd. the Purportion (sic).......* And she omitted naming Nancy Comer in her copy of Samuel Comer's will, though Nancy is in the original. Although she produced matching numbers, the names still did not match. But why?

Hi Sandy...I have a Daniel E. Davenport, born approx 1825 in Oswego County , NY. He was a shoemaker. Married Hannah born in Jefferson County, NY approx 1831...maiden name unknown. All the best Bill Davenport

BEDFORD DAVENPORT m. ANNIE COMER 5 December 1771, Charlotte co., VA, SAMUEL COMER, sec. I think he was the son of THOMAS DAVENPORT. Both the Comer and Davenport families used the name *MONROE* frequently as a given name. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may know what the relationship is among the three, ie, Monroe, Comer, and Davenport.

Hi, I'm searching for info on John Davenport & Jesse Flag (my great-grandparents) I know that they were living in Fairchild, Wisconsin in 1900 (when my grandfather was born). I don't have anything on them back further than that, other than an obscure reference from my grandmother, that my great-grandfather came to this country in 1865. Any help would be appreciated.. Roy A. Davenport III

To the Davenport list: Just in case anyone descended from this family is interested, James Davenport and Elizabeth Gilliam's younger son Raymond Davenport was born 1788 in SC according to the 1850 Muscogee GA census, and married Martha "Patsy" Adams also of Newberry. Her father was William Adams, a neighbor to the Davenports. They had five daughters and two sons. It would be nice to have Raymond's information included along with the others. He is also listed in James Davenport's estate papers with the rest, as well as being listed as a legatee in the estate papers of William Adams.

Hi List, Anyone out there researching the Davenport Family of New York and Pa.? Searching for info. on Daniel Davenport and Mary Nesbitt of Plymouth Twp., Luzerne County, Pa. Contact me please!! Thanks, Sandy Davenport, Frick, Hicks, Varner, Andreas, Washburn

Cousins, I have joined the growing number of Listowners who have chosen to help support RootsWeb in a new way, which is *in addition* to sending them a "donor" contribution every year. My friend Dick Marston, owner of NHROCKIN-L, and other lists, sent the following announcement to his lists. Since I didn't think I could improve on what he said, I asked for, and received, permission to quote him. Everything he says goes for me too. Nevada Jack *--------------- "Hi, List: I have decided to join those several RootsWeb Mail List Administrators who have voluntarily agreed to allow the addition of commercial messages at the end of each message posted to my lists (i.e., a commercial "tagline"). If the system is working, as I believe it is, there should be such a commercial at the end of this message. While commercials certainly do not enhance our genealogical searches, and they consume substantial bandwidth on the internet, they have become a "necessary evil" to help RootsWeb pay its bills and provide us all these lists free of charge. I hope you will understand. However, if you have strong objections to the policy, please let me know. I promise to pass your comments along to RootsWeb (unless you want to do so directly, yourself). By this announcement, I'm not opening a new topic for discussion by this list, so please email your comments, if any, whether in support or opposition, to me personally."

Hi Group, thanks for all of your kind responses, as you may have noted this may be the same James A. in Becky's family. I have replied to her in private and I hope to work with her to see if it could be. When I find out the real parents of my James Alexander, I will let you know. Thanks for all your help! Vicki

Roy, Did you see my post of the 17th? I think my g-grandmother Bessie Dav. (mar. Tollison) is in this line. Do the siblings Lib listed agree with your records? She and I are definitely related. Would like to know if you are, too. It's great to meet relatives and friends on the NET. Now I cannot postpone my donation to Rootsweb any longer! Jenny in Columbia
