Hello Kay, The Davenport Directory still exists at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nvjack/davnport/others.htm Perhaps you came across an obsolete search engine result?

Good luck and happy hunting, Nevada Jack -----Original Message----- From: Kay Davenport [mailto:mkd@cowtown.net] Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 2:31 PM To: Jack@Ralph.org Subject: Davenport genealogy Hi, I am trying to trace the pedigree of my great-great grandfather, Joseph Davenport, b. 1832, in 1860 census, Jackson County, TN. He died in the civil war and is buried in the confederate cemetery in Rome Ga. I know he was born in Jackson County, TN about 1832 in Gainesborough, and married Elizabeth Wheeler there, and I think he stayed there until he joined the confederacy. I believe his parents are James and Susanah Davenport, both from VA. The 1850 census said their boy's name was John, but I believe it was Joseph. There are only two Davenports in Jackson County in 1840 census and James is the only one that has a son the age of my great-great grandfather. I found James Davenport in the Charolette VA census in 1820 and 1830. The LDS database has James Davenport married to Susannah Richardson. He was born 1790-1795. Is he in the VA family you refer to in the website The Pamunkey Davenports? I tried going to the Davenport Cousins website but got a 404 message. Thanks for your attention, Mary Katherine Davenport
