I know he had relatives because I am one of them and I am not alone! I am not having any luck going backwards so, let try this the other direction. James married Sarah (Sallie) J. Turner on May 18,1848 in Callaway Co., Mo. and they had the following children: York Davis Davenport Mattie Davenport James B. Davenport William Davenport and possibly a few more, but not sure yet. York Davis Davenport married Martha Minor Lansdowne on July 3,1886 and they had the following children: Everett James Davenport m. 1st Blanche ? 2nd Mabel ? Charles Albert Davenport m. Anna Ford Jesse William Davenport (my grandfather) m. 1st Flossie Putnam 2nd Vera Tunison Edgar ? Davenport m. Billie ? Ada Viola Davenport Hicks m. James Hicks Susan ? Davenport Wermer m. Harry Wermer Anna Agnes Davenport Brandon m. Frank Brandon Mary Josephine Davenport Putnam m. John Putnam If any of these names ring a bell or you think you might know something, I would love to hear from you. Note: Jesse William and Mary Josephine's spouse's were brother and sister. Other names possibly researching this line include: Turner, Rawlings, Lansdowne, Putnam, Carey, Hayden, Hicks, Brandon, and Wermer. Of some intrest, but no meaning, the name Davenport ranks 509th in the list of names found in the U.S. Martie Durbin Harris
