This is part 3 of a report on recent test results for the Davenport Surname DNA project. The first was May 24th. We are trying to get DNA samples from all of the branches of the various Davenport lines around the world to see how we are related. For more information and to see the results go to http://www.DavenportDNA.com As of May 24th we have 66 participants with complete results in for 60. --------------------------------------- Kit # 32864 turned out to be very interesting. His line is as follows: Chappell Davenport (b.1779) married Nancy Camden in 1807 > William (b. 1810) > Chappell (b.1847) > James (b.1877). There was good evidence that Chappell was a "Prince George" Davenport. The time and place of his birth was right - in Prince George County, Virginia, among other things. The Prince George Davenports are believed to be part of the James River Davenports, and therefore possibly descended from Lancelot Davenport. When his results came in - he matched the Pamunkeys. Which was not expected and could also stir things up. This brought up the possibility that the Pamunkeys might be descended from known Davenports - Lancelot's group - sometime before Davis Davenport. However, the more likely explanation is that Chappell is and always was a Pamunkey. These test results have spawned new research in the counties surrounding Prince George and it is now looking like Chappell will soon find a home. Watch for Doc's notices. --------------------------------------- Now for a few notices. ---------- Several gracious individuals have agreed to help pay for Davenport DNA tests. We have some funds available for specific lines. If you believe you are a part of any of the lines below and would like to obtain the funding - please contact me. Or, if you would like to contribute - contact me. Descendant of Richard Davenport (Humphrey > Richard) -- A 25 marker test may be available at no cost to you. Descendant of the James River Davenports (Lancelot and others) -- Portion of 25 marker test Descendent of Absolom Davenport (Davis > Richard) -- one half of 25 marker test Descendent of Absolom Davenport (Davis > Richard) -- one half of 25 marker test (combined with above = whole test) Descendent of Richard Davis of 17th Century Northside New Kent (now King & Queen County) Virginia. He may be father of Davis Davenport. -- A 37 marker test at no cost. ---------- And finally. To help verify the various Davenport lines , we need to test descendents of branches that split as far back as possible. If these descendents match, we are fairly certain what the "original" Y-DNA looked like. Any minor variations (mutations) in one branch may also help place others with unknown ancestry into that particular branch. Below is a list of some of the branches we are particularly interested in. If you are one or know of one - please contact me. Any Davenport line that traces back to Cheshire England. Any Rev. John of New Haven (1597-1670) descendent Albemarles - Richard (1642-1714) > Richard (1674-?) Thomas of Dorchester - Thomas (~1615-1685) > Ebenezer (1661-1738) Newberry - Isaac (d.1749) > William - and - Isaac > Isaac Any Davenport descended from Capt. Richard Davenport of Boston (1606-1665) Humphrey of Barbados - Humphrey (1660-?) > Richard Pamunkeys - Davis (~1660-?) > Richard (1704-1774) - and - Davis > John (1698-?) Any Davenport descended from Lancelot Davenport or the James River Davenports Any Davenport descended from Thomas the Pioneer (1682-1759) Any Davenport descended from Col. George Davenport (1783-1845) --------------------------------------- This and all previous reports can be seen on the News page at >http://www.DavenportDNA.com If anyone would like to join the DNA project or has any questions please contact me.
