Sarah Day, d/d 17 Aug 1988, Harlan, Age 86, Vol. 88, Cert.#21201 I hope this helps you. MargoBelle

I am searching for my greatgrand mother, Sarah Ann Davenport Day. She was borm in ca. 1837 in Ky., Tn., or N.C. She died in Menifee County Ky. She was married to Beaty Day (aka Ledford) in ca, 1871-1872 in Harlan County Ky. She died in 1896 in Menifee County, Ky. She was suppose to have been at least half Native American. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Sarah A. was approximately 35 when she and my great grandfather married. I don't know if she had been married before. She may have had a sister who was married to a Garrett and lived in Tennessee. If so, the brother-in-law probably had a brother named Daniel. Thank you for your help. for your help.

John Napoleon Stone, son of James Stone and Mary Davenport was born in southern? Ilinois in 1858. So I asume James and Mary got there about 1840? Thanks Mike

To Mike (tusweca): You're in luck. I searched through census records and found 55 James Stones, about 15 of whom lived in central or southern Illinois. But then I checked for marriage records and found this: Davenport, Mary married Stone, James on 26 Apr 1849 in Jackson County, Illinois There are two James in the census records for the year 1860, probably father and son. The 1860 censuses will list husband, wife and children's names so you know which one is right. 1860 Census: STONE JAMES Jackson County IL Pg.404 Jones Creek P.O. 1860 Census: STONE JAMES Jackson County IL Pg.362 Bradley P. O. Probably your best bet is to do 3 things: First, Write to the Jackson County Historical Society, Box 7, Murphysboro, Il. 62966, and ask for any information on these two. Then, obtain their marriage certificate from the Jackson County Clerk,, 1001 Walnut St., Murphysboro, Il. 62966. Call 618-684-2151 for their fee. Then, order the 1860 census microfilm for Jackson County from your local library or LDs Family History Center. With a date and a county, you now have a good foundation to start your research! Good luck, and let me know if I can help. MargoBelle

To Tusweca: Do you have any time frame or any counties in Illinois? I'd be glad to look up a few things for you, but Stone is too common a name without some parameters. MargoBelle

I qam trying to locate a Mary Davenport born in NC who married a James Stone of/in Southern Illinois. Any suggestions?

I have John Wesley Davenport married to Cordelia Evans. I have some information on her family, but none on him or his parents. I know that they had at least two children Leonard and Louis Thomas but probably more. Both children served in WWI but Louis Thomas did not go overseas. Louis Thomas was born Apr 24, 1890 and died Oct 29, 1965. He was married to Beulah May Woods. Cordelia was born in 1864. I would like to know more about John Wesley and his family.

"Being Human" does not mean you have an "Automatic Right" to be RUDE!! If you are going to say things in such an abrupt manner you should make awfully sure that you send it to your intended victim and not show your "ugliness" to all of us. I believe all you have truly succeeded in doing is showing all of us that you are quick to lash out in anger (and that was probably misdirected at that). You claim you are only human yet you do not give your fellow human beings the slightest chance ay being human too. Valerie

Hello Jenny, I was unable to find a connection but I will keep your information in mind. I have seen the Tollison name in records but I do not have them in my database. Do you know of any other ancestors for Bessie Davenport? Phil

To whomsoever it may concern: This may be redundant now, but............. According to several lists I have received from Newberry Davenport descendants, James (Madison) Davenport and Elizabeth Gilliam had a son named Jonathan (his headstone says he is their son) who named a child James Madison. This James Madison Davenport was born in 1811 and married Marie Antoineete E Waters. This also shows up on the LDS IGI. I have put the name Madison in parenthese because it is not on the headstone, but many identify him as such, and I just wanted to let them know who I am referring to. A Loyalist wouldn't very likely be in the DAR lists rightfully. Pauline Ann Graham wrote: > > Dear Robert Brooke > Thank you so much for your very prompt reply.

This (message below) may be what you are referring to..... I've been half-way monitoring the list lately. On Memoral Day we had our first child, a baby boy. So, I've been rather busy recovering and getting to know our new addition to the family. I don't check my box often so please don't get offended if I don't respond very quickly.

I am relatively new to this list and have spent much time reading what others have found regarding Davenport ancestors. I am 43 years old and consider myself reasonably mature. I don't know what everyone's age here is, however I know this much, those of you that continue to "snipe" regarding so and so and so's behavior on this list are wasting my time. I work full time, am a full time single mother of a 14 year old and have precious little time to spend on my family research. Please, get on with the research and "snipe" in private. While I will not unsubscribe because I feel this list is a valuable resource to me, I want to be able to utilize my time here to the maximum. Thank you, Cristi

Bonnie and Ellen, I just looked back over that line and John & Lucy had a son named Joel. Perhaps this is the evidence for the association to Joel Davenport. Mary ary

Bonnie, I did not do the line of Isham - it was mostly given to me. In it is where the Joel-John-Isham thing appears. I have always been somewhat interested in the line because the man fathered 22 children. That is a whole lot of Davenports!!!!But I could not swear to the lineage.
