Oops looked at the web page again and there were several other listings so I combined them here. Family Group Record FamilySearch® Ancestral File™ v4.19 Husband's Name Francis DAVENPORT (AFN:X3CV-CR) Born: Abt 1650 Place: <Whittington, , Derbyshire, England> Died: Abt Mar 1707 Place: Chesterfield Twp, Burlington, New Jersey Married: 8 Dec 1692 or 1 Jul 1692 Place: Chesterfield Mm, Burlington, New Jersey (this could me they were Quakers?) Father: Mother: Wife's Name Rebecca DESTOW (AFN:X3CV-DX) Born: Abt 1650 Place: , , England Married: 8 Dec 1692 Place: Chesterfield Mm, Burlington, New Jersey Father: Mother: Children 1. Sex Name F Rebecca DAVENPORT (AFN:X3CV-F4) Born: Abt 1695 Place: Chesterfield Twp, Burlington, New Jersey The place I went to find this info was at.... http://www.familysearch.org/ Hope it helps Richard

Francis Davenport (1651-1707) m. Rebecca Decou (Child one of Francis D and Rebecca D) 1.Issac (?-1749) traveled to Granville, NC (Children of Isaac and ?) A. Francis Davenport (1718-1798) (moved to Newberry?) B. Joseph C. James D. Isaac E. William (moved to Greenville, SC) Maybe the above schema will clear things up. Isaac ?-1749 had 5 children Francis, Joseph, James, Isaac and William. Your second guess was correct Incidentally I checked out the LDS web site and this is what I found on your people. Francis DAVENPORT (AFN: GD87-HN) Sex: M Event(s): Born: < 1650 <Dramham, , , England> Died 1 Apr 1707 , , NJ Buried: 1707 , , NJ Marriage: 12 Aug 1692 Chesterfield, , NJ Parents: Marriage(s): Spouse: Rebecca WHITTEN (AFN: GD87-FB) Born: Abt 1654 Dramham, , , England Died: 29 Sep 1705 Crosswicks, , NJ Buried:1705 Chesterfield, , NJ Submitted by : AF90-101346 C.

I am still somewhat confused. Is it: Francis Davenport (1651-1707) married Rebecca Decou Son = Isaac (5/17/1693-1749) Isaac's sons = Francis (1718-1798) William (no dates) Joseph (no dates) Isaac (no dates) Isaac's daughters = Elizabeth Phoebe or is it: Francis married Rebecca Decou Son= Isaac (5/17/1693-1749) And he had son = Francis (1718-1798) And Francis had sons = William Joseph James M. (1742-1824) married Elizabeth Gilliam daughter = Sarah (1764-1844) married Samuel Beeks Or am I so far out of the ballpark? -----Original Message----- From: Richard Davenport <klingon1@airmail.net> To: DAVENPORT-L@rootsweb.com <DAVENPORT-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, July 01, 1999 12:24 AM Subject: Re: [DAVENPORT-L] Francis Davenport SC to NJ? >Based on the numbering schema (which was very poorly done) I would have to say >Isaac number 2 was the son of the original Isaac.

Hello cousins, l've recently updated my website. It contains information about descendants of William Davenport (James Jr., James Sr., Martin, Davis). Subsequent to this update, I received information from yet another William Davenport descendant. I will endeavor to incorporate this information as soon as possible, hopefully prior to the next millenium. The website is http://www.tomatoweb.com/graham/davenport/davportn.htm. Please let me know if you have any problems accessing the information presented there. If you see anything you believe is in error, please let me know where I fell short. Yours genetically, Gene Graham

Based on the numbering schema (which was very poorly done) I would have to say Isaac number 2 was the son of the original Isaac. It should be number as A (Isaac #1) then 1-? for his children (Francis, Joseph, etc). Boy some people and their crazy numbering schemas. Remember there is always somebody out there that has an even dumber question that the one you come up with. Always try to create info that is understandable by people who dont know you. Remember other people cant read your mind!!! Richard

What you see is first the person then after that the birth info, then the names with the numbers mean like this. Sandra b.Jan 1, 19?? in Wherever, Usa (Your Father1, Your Grandfather2, Your Great grandfather) and so one back as far as you can go with existing info. Any other questions? Richard There is no such thing as a stupid question...... Only a stupud answer

In this posting what does the (William1) mean in Generation 2, line 1? Then in sucessive Generations you have (William2, William1)? I am new at this and it probably is very elementary, but I need help in deciphering these. How about Willima4Davenport? It must all fall together, but I need clues.

Second paragraph has me puzzled. Does it say: 1. Issac (?-1749) (Father) traveled to Granville, NC 1. Francis Davenport (1718-1798) (son of Isaac?)(moved to Newberry?) 2. Joseph (son of Isaac?) 3.

EARLY CHURCH RECORDS of Burlington County, New Jersey, Vol 2 p44 3rd da, 2nd mo, 1707. Francis Davenport deceased. THE GENEALOGY OF THE DECOU FAMILY, S. Ella DeCou of Trenton, NJ. and John Allen DECOU of Moorestown, N.J. p8 under "PLACES" Burlington, N.J., is said to owe its name to Bridlington, Old England, which is about four miles from Flamborough Head Light House, and was the home of many of the early settlers. The familiar names of Nottingham and Chesterfield have the same origin. Chesterfield is near to some of the most beautiful spots in the kingdom. At Bolsover Castle, about six miles from Chesterfield, Charles 1 and his court were entertained at different times. The parish church has, for an architectural singularity, a much twisted spire. The legendary cause is that it is the work of the evil one; another, that it is the caprice of the architect. The practical idea ascribes it to the warping of the woodwork. Three miles from this bent and twisted steeple is Whittington, known in these records as the home of Francis Davenport and the birthplace of his daughter, Anne, second wife of Isaac Decow. p74, WILL OF FRANCIS DAVENPORT: Chesterfield the 15th of the dwelfth month 1706 I Francis Davenport of Chesterfield in ye county of Burlington & Province of Nova Cesaria being weak of body but of sound & perfect memory praise be therefore given to Almighty God do make and ordain this my present last Will & Testamt in Manner & form following, yt is to say first & Principally I give my Soul & Spirit to God yt gave it & my body to be buried among ye People caller Quakers: with whom I am in true Unity. *And as touching ye Disposition of my Temporal Estate which it hath pleased God to bestow upon me I give & dispose thereof as followeth.
