Hi Everyone, It's nice to see the Oregon line being discussed, but I'm still lost, so hope if I post some things I might be found. Did any of the others start in New York? The earliest I have is William R, ?-1905, m. Phebe Ann Wood, b. 5-12-1827. d. 6-4-1885. They had William Orville while in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co., NY. in 1862. William O m. Emma Jane Russell of Ft. Covington, Franklin, NY Both the Davenports and the Russells went to Iowa, the above Phebe is buried in Buchanan Co, Iowa. They went next to Cherokee, Cherokee, Iowa where they farmed, and W O worked for the railroad as a fireman. The children of W O and Emma, all born in Cherokee: Olive Mae 12-25-1891/2-22-1984 William Russell 10-26-189?/8-10-1978 Grace Feb 1896/Mar 1896 Blanche Irene 2-2-1897/2-11-1992 Glenn LeRoy 4-25-1899/12-9-1983 Mildred 10-10-19??/1-16-1951 Orville Joseph 1905/10-21-1962 All came to Oregon beginning about 1919, and all died here. There are other Davenports in the Cherokee Cemetery, but I don't have the list at hand right now. I believe they may also be part of the Joel Davenport line. Can anyone help? I have more information, but none before NY or the rest of the family from there. Thanks, Glenora Davenport Chamberlin
