Thanks for the info, Bonnie. It was a wonderful article on a Davenport family with the determination to make it on their own using their own resources! I'm sure that's how most of our Davenports, as well as other families, helped form this great land and secure a place in it for those of us who followed. I checked my Davenport files, but my John and Lucy combos were brothers and sisters, not husbands and wives. They settled in the Newberry, SC area. Good luck on your hunt for their ancestors....maybe our Davenport paths will yet cross!

Hello Jane, The family is my husbands. That is his father and sister who are shown in the pictures. As far as who this Davenport family connect back to, we don't have a clue.
