Since you mentioned Absalom Davenport.... Just a reminder that the Davenport DNA Project has pledges to pay for a full 25 marker test for a documented descendent of Absalom Davenport (1736-1821). Absalom was the son of Richard and grandson of Davis Davenport. If you know of any - please contact me.
