Mary, you may want to contact a Dr. Leon Marsh in Arab, Alabama. His mother was a Davenport and he has done 40 years of research on the Davenports. I do know there was a Sallie Davenport in our family. My family descended from Willis Augustus Davenport who was born in 1808 and died in 1881. He married a Francis Coker and they lived in the upstate(Greenville county) of South Carolina. I do know some of the children moved to Alabama in the mid-1800's. Dr. Marsh can fill in the missing pieces. Good luck and stay in touch. Roy Willis Davenport
