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. By the way, Elaine has a lot more documented information on our Davenport line than I do.
