This message is primarily for my 4th cousin Joseph Robert (Joe Bob) Davenport of San Antonio, but may be of interest to other descendants of William Davenport (1796-1877) and Elizabeth Sydnor nee Andrew Davenport (1800-1888) of Palmetto (Campbell/Fulton County) GA. Some of us descendants are interested in having at least one other male patrilineal descendant of William Davenport of Campbell Co GA do a DNA test, and we are willing to pay for it. My DNA does not match that of other Pamunkeys, and having someone from another line of descent do the DNA test will help to establish in which generation the “paternity event” occurred. Any such male patrilineal descendant who is interested in doing the DNA test should contact me directly, either at billdavenport@hotmail.com or mfhwd@wiu.edu My phone is 309-836-6521. Descendants of William and Elizabeth will also be interested to know that work is underway to create a website with information about our branch of the Pamunkey Davenport family. This will supplement the excellent information provided by Dr. John Scott Davenport and his collaborators. Harbert William (Bill) Davenport

Some of us have missed the useful website created a few years ago by Thomas Eugene (Gene) Graham of California. Jason Long has informed me that Gene's website has been archived at the following address: http://web.archive.org/web/20011006050529/http://members.home.net/gene-alogy/Davenport/davportn.htm Gene provided the sources for his information in the "Endnotes" and "Bibliography" sections. Work is underway on an updated version, but until that is completed, Gene's site at this new address is still one of the best available for this particular branch of the numerous Pamunkey Davenport clan: descendants of William Davenport (1796-1877) of James Jr of James Sr of Martin Sr of Davis. (Some of the links do not seem to work properly, apparently having become outdated, or due to its "archived" status.)
