First, as far as my info from Mr Warren goes...I'm getting together all those files, going through them and sorting out what needs to be said and what doesn't. I will have all that available in due time. For Valerie- My info that Hannah Seeley/Soby comes from our local history books here in Newfield, Tompkins Co, NY and from a 6th great granddaughter. Hannah was biologically born to Trustum Soby & Hannah Griffin, she was later adopted by Ebenezer Seeley & Mercy Dean. As far as proof for your DAR application, I do not participate in such, so there you will be on your own. Yes, there were many inter-marriages amongst the Davenport's, as in most families back then. Capt. Todd R. Davenport- I ran the name of your great grandfather, Bertram Davenport and he does not appear in my database. I will check with my partner/cuzzin Butch to see if he knows anything. Bob in San Diego- you are correct, Thomas was the youngest son of William. You say that Thomas does not appear on any passengers lists. I wonder why? If he didn't come on a passenger ship, then how did he get here? Anyone care to guess? I have my theory, however, I'm not ready to reveal it until I've done some more research. Bill- I have one Townsend/Davenport connection....John Davenport b. 1585 m. Legh Townsend. Let me point out again, to those of you who haven't read this on our site...A huge majority of our info comes from people who send us their family lines. We try to verify everything, some stuff comes to us with sources and some does not. Butch spends alot of time verifying facts, that's why you don't hear from him. He has asked me to sign him to everything I write. I guess what it boils down to is: We stand by our info and believe it to be correct to the best of our knowledge. If you can prove otherwise, please do so. The only way to solve this huge Davenport puzzle is to get all the many lines together in one place, where it can be viewed by all. Everyone working together for our common goal is what will solve this. This is the goal of Butch & I, we are supplying the place to gather all these lines for all to see......Teri & Butch
