Doc. Clyde McCall Davenport of Knoxville, Tenn has published a book titled "The Davenport Families of Sevier County, Tennessee, Whitley County, Kentucky and Tyrrell County, North Carolina" which traces the family and especially Zacariah Davenport from Tyrrell County through to Whitley County, Ky and his descendents on to Tenn. As for the S.C. birth in the 1850 census, it is a mistake. You are correct about the Albemarles staying home. However, we now find that after the Revolutionary War the younger ones began to move west. Some moved only as far as western N.C. but others, such as Zacariah, moved the first year to Abingdon Va. then the next year over the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky. Zacariah was married to Precilla Spruill first but it looks like she died in Abingdon of child birth or other circumstances. He then married Jean Douglass on October 10, 1799. His first child by Jean Douglass was William born May 31, 1800 in Whitley Co. Ky. The 1815 tax list for Washington C! ounty N.C. still lists Zacariah Davenport as owning land but under the guardianship of his brother. Clyde Davenport has done extensive research in North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee on this branch of the Albemarle Davenports and would be able to shead more light on Zacariah Davenport than can I. My family would be related to Zacariah via my third great grandfather John Davenport who would have been Zacariah's father's first cousin or first cousin once removed.

Whoa! Don't nobody lrav e the theater, Tonight, I will go through my Missouri Davenports. I spent a lot of time trying to trace my Isaac Davenports to MO. and the l\family lore, Many years ago, Carol White told me that Zachariah married Jean Douglas and had been born in Va, I am not well these days and have many misccellanious notes collected over the years, They fit with I have just reread in all the posts today. It leads to he Zacharia and one of the counties along the MS,River. I'll go over all notes and see where they lead. Ellen Eanes Bethel
