    1. Re: [DAVENPORT] Jack Smith Davenport Clarification...
    2. Byrom: There needs be no confusion relative to descent from Jack Smith Davenport of Revolutionary fame: Jack S. had five children--John, Richard, and William and the two daughters who married Byrons or Byroms. All were in Georgia by 1800. You're cool if you trace from any one of those five. But if you trace back to a Jack Smith Davenport who was alive after 1781, you are not a descendant of Jack Smith of Revolutionary fame. You are a descendant of either William Davenport, an older Jack Smith brother; or Richard, a younger Jack Smith brother; or David, Jack Smith's uncle (second family). The revision recognizes two lines of descent, splits Jack Smith 2 and John into the two individuals they really were. Doc
