Pamunkey Kinfolks: You are all well behind the curve on the Davenports of Clay County, NC, their antecedents and descendants. Consult the book of Maribeth Lang Vineyard and Eugene Wiseman, "William Wiseman and the Davenports, Pioneers of Old Burke County, North Carolina," (Franklin, NC: Genealogical Publishing Service, 1997), which lays out those Wisemans, Davenports, and Whites from Culpeper in a substantial, albeit occasionally disorganized manner and need of better research. Our Pamunkey Davenport 5-Generation Chart, see website, identifies the ancestry concerned. The Vineyard-Wiseman book has its good and not so good spots, but would be helpful in identifying and setting the historical context of who was who and when. Can be obtained from Maribeth Lang Vineyard, 486 Eagle Vista Drive, Henderson, NV 80012. Don't know the price, for she sent me a copy in exchange for "The Pamunkey Davenports of Colonial Virginia," our first publication in 1998. The book is a finely published work of almost 600 pages, reflects the research of a number of family members on a number of lines. John Scott Davenport Holmdel, Monmouth County, New Jersey, and Tosquitee Creek, Clay County, NC, but not of the Old Burke line

Mr. Dave. Do you have an e-mail address for the George W. Davenport #58147 mentioned below? I believe that he is the brother of my Clarissa H. Davenport born circa 1805. I would like to correspond with him if he is agreeable to this. I have lost Letitia Wharton Davenport, wife of Thomas Davenport, after the 1830 Census in Lauren's District, South Carolina. Does anyone on this site know any thing further about her? Thomas mentions her in his will (wife Litty) but does not name their minor children.

I will collect what I have on David and Dorothy Wiseman Davenport and David M. and Rebecca Davenport and post. I try to work only from data that I have personally researched and at least tried to verify. There is way too much bad information on some of these internet sites. Also, I have nothing on William David Davenport; but will see what might be available at the local genealogy section of the Gilmer County, Georgia, library, when I have time. Great to share with you.

Dorothy has a marked grave and I have a photo of the tombstone. It's in Bethbara(?) Cemetary in Shooting Creek, Clay county, NC. (Sorry I am still at work and my notes are at home); but I have not been able to locate David's grave. I think it is unmarked.I do have a copy of David's estate documents from the NC archives which I ordered and it lists his children.

Hi Diane, Thanks for your information. I know very little about him except he was a grandson of Capt. Martin Davenport, of King's Mountain. I did go to Shooting Creek community one afternoon and only saw one cemetery and no one to ask about the Davenports. David and Dorothy may be in unmarked graves too. Please e-mail me es720@bellsouth.net if you'd like to discuss this further.

Dianne, Research is sheer torture to me, consequently I do very little. Most of what I have on the Davenports from William David came from, I believe, Angela Groenhout, the very nice lady I mentioned earlier. SOOOOO take what I send you for what it might be worth and NOT NECESSARILY AS THE GOSPEL, DOCUMENTED FACTS. I believe what I have is accurate for the overwhelming most part because it has come from different sources, and mostly from Dr John Scott Davenport, whom I consider a great researcher and confirmed by others. I also was impressed with the Angela Groenhout data because I saw her question many items as to source and so forth. I, too, have been down the road of errors and I think it's an injustice for data to be distributed with errors in it. I will send you some of what I have, as long as you know the caveat. BTW, I am sorry I did not remember you, and am flattered (I think) for you remembering me. I promise to be better from here on.

Hi. I am Dianne Davenport and I was born in Gilmer County, Georgia and am currently living here. David M. Davenport was brother to Thomas C. Davenport, who was my ancestor, (both sons of David and Dorothy Baker Davenport). I believe that David M. Davenport and his wife Rebecca both died in Gilmer County, but I have been unable to locate their graves - probably unmarked as so many are. My records are at home, but I believe David M. and Rebecca are both in the 1870 and 1880 census for Gilmer County, Georgia. I have searched for a will, but have not found one for either of them. Question: Why was he in McMinn County, TN during the 1860 census. Also, was David M. in the civil war and was he captured at Cumberland Gap? Does anyone know with which unit he served? I do know that two of David M Davenport brothers died in Chicago as prisoners of war. I have documentation of that if anyone wants it. Sorry I do not have any information about William David and his family.

I believe David M Davenport b 1821 in Burke County, NC was the son of David Davenport born 1795 in Burke Co, NC to Martin and Jane Browning Davenport. David married Dorothy Baker. She was the daughter of David Baker and Dorothy Wiseman. David and Dorothy moved to the Shooting Creek area of Cherokee, now Clay County NC where he d 1887.She died 1885. They had at least 12 children. David M is the 2nd. The Davenports, Bakers and Wisemans all came to NC from Culpeper, Va after 1775. Martin Davenport , b c 1745, was the son of Thomas Davenport , b 1711 to Martin Davenport of Hanover Co, VA. David Baker's mother Dorothy Davenport was a sister to Thomas. William Wiseman married Mary Davenport, daughter of Thomas. Dorothy is their daughter. Can you contact me and share David M's children?

Good morning When is new CD coming out? I have the old one and was just wondering about the new one. Janet

Jack: Would you please update my Davenport Rootsweb email address from wbwood@sonic.net to wbwood2006@bellsouth.net. Thank you, Bill Wood

Doc, On a visit last week to the new Museum of the Native American Indian in Washington, D.C., my wife and I found that one of the 36 tribes currently being displayed are the Pamunkey. We also visited the King William County Courthouse, and the surrounding Mattaponi River basin at Horse Landing near where Davis Davenport had his plantation. Cool! Thanks for your directions.

The results of a several more tests for the Davenport DNA Surname Project have arrived. We are trying to get DNA samples from all of the branches of the various Davenport lines around the world to see how we are related. For more information and to see the results go to >http://www.DavenportDNA.com< So far we have 105 participants with results in for 86. --------------- Two sets of results are from Pamunkey Davenports. The first, kit # 58147, resides in Texas, as did the last couple generations of his ancestors. He believed his branch ran: Davis Davenport > Martin > William > Thomas > George W > George > etc... He was confident of his research back to George W and there was some evidence that George W was same individual found in the Pamunkey line. His results matched the Pamunkey line exactly on 37 of 37 markers. So indeed, he is a Pamunkey - a descendent of Davis - and his paper genealogy tells us the connection is through George W. The second Pamunkey is kit # 64304. His branch is Davis > Martin > Glover > Mathew > John > David > etc... There was no surprise that his Y-DNA matched the other Pamunkey's. The results were 36/37. Two items I should point out. Both of these participants were fairly confident of their connection to the Pamunkey line - but they tested anyway. This actually helps other Pamunkey's more than it helps themselves. So far, we have tested 12 documented Davis descendents representing three of Davis' sons. This helps establish a "baseline" for what the Y-DNA looks like for each branch. We might discover that one branch has a certain mutation while the others do not. (Mutations are neither good nor bad. They are just random changes on the markers tested). With this information, we can help place those of "unknown" ancestry who match the Pamunkey's into a specific branch. We currently have five of these unknowns, but we still don't have enough detail to place them yet. This works the same way for other lines too. The second item is that one of the "participants" is female. She was doing the research and it was her grandmother who was the Davenport. Since she, nor her grandmother, would have the Y-chromosome, which contains the DNA we test, she needed to find someone to act as her "proxy". She found a male Davenport cousin who was also descended from her g-grandfather to donate his Y-DNA. A large percentage of our participants are proxy's for women, so ladies - you can get involved. ----------------- The next participant, kit # 68055, can trace his ancestry back to Mahlon Davenport who was born about 1797 in New Jersey. Mahlon moved to Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in the 1820's and is believed to be the grandson of Leonard Davenport. Leonard is part of the Humphrey Davenport of Barbados line. The results came back with a 36/37 match. So there definitely is a Humphrey connection. While on the topic of Humphrey - we had some exciting news in the past month. The Y-DNA for the Humphrey line is very "unique". In three and a half years, no individual tested in any other surname project, (over 100,000 samples), has come close to what the Humphrey line has. In other words - the only results that are even remotely close to a Humphrey descendent is another Humphrey descendent. Well, that all changed last month. We suddenly had a 37/37 match with a Calkins. A cousin of that Calkins individual was tested and confirmed the match. They don't match any other Calkins and can trace their branch back to John Calkins, born in 1785 in Chenago County, New York. A 37/37 Humphrey/Calkins match probably means a common ancestor in the last couple hundred years. Since we can track Humphrey and his descendents back to the mid 1600's, it is unlikely they descend from any recent Calkins. Most likely it was some kind of "non-paternity event". Somewhere up the Calkins line, the father was not who we thought it was. There could be several possibilities. For example, the Davenports and Calkins were neighbors. The Davenports have an infant son - Jr. Something happens to the Davenport parents and Jr becomes an orphan. The Calkins take in Jr and give him the Calkins surname. Now Jr Calkins has Humphrey Davenport Y-DNA which is then passed down to his descendents. Both Davenport and Calkins researchers are now looking for both a place and time when both lines could have come together. ------------------ Participant # 70488 is a Rev. John Descendent - Rev. John > John > John > John > Deodate > Deodate. As expected, he matched the other Rev. John's 12/12. There has been much research on the Rev. John line, and it is one of the few Davenport lines that can actually document the connection to England. However, we are very limited in the number of his descendents in the DNA Project. We need more, coming from multiple branches, to help verify our lone 37 marker participant. ------------------ Finally, from England, we have #49751. He traces his ancestry to Cheshire in the 1800's, but unfortunately we don't have any more information. He does match the other English Davenports, (which match the Rev. John, Thomas of Dorchester, and Albemarle's), on 37 markers. He is a definite "person of interest" so we will continue to investigate. While we're on the subject of English Davenports - we have funding available to pay for tests for a male Davenport descendent of Thomas Davenport of Lower Withington. Thomas was born about 1700. If you know of any potential candidates - please contact me. ------------------ About six months ago, our testing company increased their product line. They came out with a 67 marker test. The previous high resolution test was 37 markers. Generally, the more markers, the better. As I mentioned in my last post : " It gives us more tools to work with. One of the most useful features of DNA testing is finding a mutation here or there. Mutations are neither good nor good, they are just minor changes. This mutation is then passed down to all future generations of Davenport males. Thus, if someone tested out to be a Pamunkey, a mutation might help place him into a particular branch. This will be especially useful for lines where few mutations have been recorded, like the Thomas of Dorchester group. We now have more "mutation opportunities"." Anyway, over the next few months, we had many participants upgrade to the 67 marker test. To date we have the results back from 14 of them. Although we really don't yet have enough results to compare within the individual lines, we do have some interesting results to report. At 37 markers, the Rev. John, Thomas of Dorchester, and Albemarle lines were very similar, but they each had one or two mutations to help distinguish them. This group also matches several of our English participants, but there just wasn't enough information to zoom in on a connection. Now with the 30 extra markers, we have found that the Albemarle's appear to have a common ancestor with a participant descended from the Davenports of Great Wigston, Leicestershire, England. Currently we have researchers on both sides of the Atlantic checking into it. So this is also a call for English Davenports - we need more samples!! One of the ongoing Davenport genealogy mysteries is the parentage of Davis Davenport. His line does not match any other Davenport line. So, not only have we been comparing his descendents to each other, we've also been watching for connections to other surnames. The Pamunkey's have a fairly common set of values for their Y-DNA and we get hundreds of "false positives" for the 12 and 25 marker lower resolution tests. As we increase the number of markers, these tend to filter out. Now with 67 markers, the Pamunkey's have a signal non-Davenport match - an individual with the Lee surname - 64/67. This is close enough to get serious about. We are waiting on more information from the Lee participant. ------------------ This and all previous reports can be seen on the News page at >http://www.DavenportDNA.com If anyone would like to join the DNA project or has any questions please contact me.
