I thought the Davenport DNA project was finding unconnected Davenports.

As most of you already know, myself and my cuzzin Butch, who is also my site/research partner; descend from Humphrey Davenport born circa 1600. Humphrey had sons, the one's we're aware of so far are: Humphrey Jr born 1656, William born 1664 and a son whom we're not sure if his name was Richard or Charles Richard, we believe to have been born circa mid 1600's. We have descendants for Humphrey Jr and William. We have nothing on this Richard. On our site, we have some Davenport family lines, from the south, who claim their furthest back ancestor to be Richard Davenport born circa 1642. They seem unable, to date, to connect this Richard to anyone as his father. Here's the fun part.... I have documented proof that Humphrey born circa 1600 was on the Cape Fear (North Carolina) expedition. I have copies of the ships logs dated for during that time period. Humphrey (and we assume his family) was in North Carolina for years. I have many documents that a very generous man sent me. These documents are papers he used to write and publish a book relating to the Cape Fear Settlement and his family history. A sort of census was found, it was actually a Court Order requiring all male inhabitants of the region of Scuppernong River to be listed. Records convincingly indicate the actual date of this to be 1717 or 1718. It was divided into two groups, the west side and the east side of Scuppernong River. This list is as follows: West Side of River- John Davenport, Rich'd Davenport, Godfrey Spruell, Sam'll Spruell, Joseph Spruill, Chas. Craddock, Jose. Bateman, Sam'll Hopkins, Ro. Fewox, Tho. Winne, Jno. Swain, Jose Fisher, Hen. Norman, Matt Caswell, La. Alexander, Jno Hopkins, Will Tarkington, Will West. East Side of River- An. Alexander, Ben Alexander, Jos. Alexander, Josh Alexander, Jno. Jennett Sr, Jno. Jennett, Jos. Canings, ___Bateman, Josh Ward, John Hassell, Ed. Hassell, Jno. Hassell Sr The challenge and the questions on my mind.... Is Rich'd and John mentioned above as inhabitants of the west side of Scuppernong River actually sons or grandsons of Humphrey born circa 1600, whom we know to have been in North Carolina at that time? Is this same Richard the head of those southern lines that can go no further back? Is this Richard the same Richard as our Richard (or Charles Richard) that we can find no descendants for? Does this mean that ALL Davenport's, no matter where they're from, are actually related, as I've been saying since the day I began my Davenport research? Does anyone have any further clues, proof, or thoughts on this? The Challenge... Butch and I are looking forward to working with each and everyone of you on this and ALL Davenport related research. Please get involved, let's gather all information we can find and put this family together as it should be. I'd also like to welcome back my cuzzin and research/sites partner, Robert "Butch" Devenport. Butch had taken some time off due to illness. Well, now he's back, raring to go and just as fiesty as ever. A truer Davenport I've never seen.

Yes, it is quite clear that Humphrey isn't related to any of the other known Davenports from the Davenport DNA project, although it would be desirable to have more of Humphrey's descendants tested. In fact, most lines seem to be unrelated. Thomas Davenport of Dorchester seems to be the one with the most connections to other lines.

The Humphrey I'm referring to is the Humphrey Davenport of Barbados. This may not be the Humphrey in your tree, and if so, what I said doesn't apply. If you have male cousins, please have them contribute their DNA to the study, so we can see. -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Banks [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 10:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [DAVENPORT] A "Must Read" For All Davenport Researchers Yes, it is quite clear that Humphrey isn't related to any of the other known Davenports from the Davenport DNA project, although it would be desirable to have more of Humphrey's descendants tested.
