Sadly, no it isn't. Thank you for replying, but my Nelson was born and died in New Jersey and lived there all his life. I do have some information on him and have found him on several census. Nelson had two daughter, Maggie and Minnie and no sons. Minnie was my great grandmother and was born in 1882. I have found info on other Nelson Davenports but they have all been in Illinois, not New Jersey! Thank you for trying to help!
