R.L., I too have been researching the Greenville Davenports for years. My gggrandfather was Willis Augustus Davenport who was born in 1808 and died in 1881. He married a Francis Coker and both are buried at Standing Springs Baptist Church in southern Greenville County. We know who Willis' children were and that he had a brother named Isaac(who incidentally my descended from). Have you run across Willis A. Davenport in any of your research? The only clue I have was a paragraph in a book about the history of some county in Arkansas. Willis' son, Willis B. Davenport moved to Arkansas when he was a young man. This article said his parents were Willis A. Davenport and Francis Coker Davenport and that Willis A. moved to South Carolina with his parents from Ohio. I have long suspected some Newberry connection but haven't been able to make the link. The similarity in names(Willis, Isaac) and the close proximity sure support some connection. Any help would be greatly appreciat! ! ! ed.......Roy Willis Davenport
