My connection with you is DAvenport. We go back to NC.. some dispute over exactly which James Madison Davenport was ours... one was a Tory and another was Patriot. DAR gives James Madison who married Elizabeth Gilliam the patriot. Elizabeth's father was certainly a strong REv. hero. James M. and Eliz. had son, Charles and his daughter, Sarah Caroline Davenport married T. L Scogin....etc.. this is our line. will share better if this connects with yours. There were some Davenports who married into the Graves line (another of mine) way back in late 1600's or early 1700. Let me know if we are connecting. Carolyn CaClem1525@aol.com

This is a list of the names we are following. As far as we have know they are pretty much in TN, NC, SC?, AL?, MD. Any connections out there? Britt Canada Copley Davenport Goff Hayes Helton Kelley McCaslin McCormick Parrish Powers Sauls Tedder Tucker Vickers Wallace Warren Thanks,- Linda & Darlene

Dear Nevada Jack, Thank you for the inspirational piece. We also enjoyed the other sites you referred us to, expecially the one from the perspective of Old Glory. We had spectacular fire works in Redding, CA this year. We traditionally watch them from the civic, where they shoot them off. We join the 15-20,000 other people with the same idea. The celebration brings Redding together, at least once a year, by a realization that we have that right to gather and celebrate! Hope everyone had a good holiday. CWBuhlert

Hello, I would appreciate any information about my great-grandmother, Roxie Ann JORDAN. She was born Feb 14, 1873 in Argyle, Osage County, MO and died Feb 19, 1946 in Freeburg, Osage County, MO. She was married twice, first to Charles COFFEY. He was born Oct 16, 1894 in Jersey County, IL and died May 17, 1940, probably in MO. They had one son, Charles. She married my great-grandfather, Robert H. DAVENPORT, on March 31, 1900 in Miller Couty, MO. He was born Aug 15, 1856 in Jersey County, IL and died Feb 14, 1940 in Springfield, Greene County, MO. Roxie and Robert had 7 children: Tillie, Lullie Lurinda, Andrew Jackson, Edith, Maude, Perry Franklin, Willard. Thanks! Cheryl Cronin CO Springs ccred1@aol.com

Bonnie, As far as I know there was no connection to Kentucky. My family seemed to stay put. My Davenports were from Greenville Co.; how they got there I don't know...yet! Jenny

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Few Americans are aware of the tremendous sacrifices made by the brave and selfless men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Have you ever wondered what happened to those men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by British as traitors and were tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked or burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary army. Another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or the hardships of war. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants. Nine were farmers and large plantation owners-men of means and well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence, knowing full well the penalty would be death if they were captured. They signed and pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by British navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags. Thomas McKean was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in Congress without pay and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers or both looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Hetward, Rutledge and Middleton. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, after which she died within a few months. At the Battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quickly urged General Washington to open fire on the dwelling. The home was destroyed. Nelson died a bankrupt man. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and grist mill were laid waste. For more than a year, he lived in the forests and in caves, returning home after the war to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later, he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Morris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians; they were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. They pledged: "For the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of the Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." --------------A164D3966759F0B772162FCC--

Well, I screwed up again. Someone of you asked me to send information on William Davenport who came to Oregon in the later half of the 1800's. Accidentally deleted the message and sent the stuff to the wrong person. Do I have a taker out there? Cliff Davenport

Dear Cousins, I decided to stay home this weekend and avoid the crowds. Being the patriot that I am, I wanted to share the following with you. After you have read it, I encourage you to visit http://members.aol.com/ceharger/Old_Glory.htm (turn up the speakers for your sound card, if you have one) and then visit http://www.microserve.net/~rduffalo/july4.html which is a very interesting poem that was written during the time of the American Revolution. Enjoy, Nevada Jack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I AM THE UNITED STATES I was born on July 4, 1776, and the Declaration of Independence is my birth certificate. The bloodlines of the world run in my veins because I offered freedom to the oppressed: I am the United States of America. I am 250 million living souls and have the ghosts of millions who have lived and fought and died for me. I am Nathan Hale and Paul Revere. I stood at Lexington and fired the shot heard around the world. I am Washington, Jefferson, and Patrick Henry. I am John Paul Jones, the Green Mountain Boys, and Davy Crockett. I am Lee, Grant, and Abe Lincoln. I remember the Alamo, the Maine, and Pearl Harbor. When freedom called, I answered and stayed until it was over, over there. I left my heroic dead on the bleak slopes of Korea and Vietnam--in Flanders field, the rocks of Corregidor, and the desert sands of Kuwait. I am the Brooklyn Bridge, the wheat fields of Kansas, the granite hills of Vermont. I am the coal mines of the Virginias and Pennsylvania, the fertile lands of the West, the Golden Gate and the Grand Canyon. I am Independence Hall, the Monitor, the Merrimac, and the Challenger. Oh, yes - I am big. I sprawl from the Atlantic to the Pacific - 3 million square miles of land throbbing with industry. I am more than 2 million farms. I am forest, field, mountain, and desert. I am quiet villages and cities that never sleep. You can look at me and see Ben Franklin walking down the streets of Philadelphia with his bread loaf under his arm. You can see Betsy Ross with her needle. You can see the lights of Christmas and hear the strains of "Auld Lang Syne" as the calendar turns. I am Babe Ruth and the World Series, 170,000 schools and colleges, and more than 300,000 churches where my people worship God as they choose. I am a ballot dropped into a box, the roar of a crowd in a stadium, the voice of a choir in a cathedral. I am an editorial in a newspaper and a letter to Congress. I am John Glenn and Neil Armstrong and their fellow astronauts who whirl through the spaces above my head. I am Eli Whitney and Stephen Foster, Tom Edison, Albert Einstein and Billy Graham. Yes, I am the nation and these are the things that I am. I was conceived in freedom and, God willing, in freedom I shall spend the rest of my days. May I always possess the integrity, the courage and the strength to keep myself unshackled, to remain a citadel of freedom and a beacon of hope for all the world. -AUTHOR UNKNOWN.
