Hello Cousins, My name is Paul Edwin Crunk and I live in Hurst, TX. My father was James Sidney Crunk and his mother was Eunice Jane (Jennie) Davenport Crunk (b. 6 Nov 1877 in TX, d. 24 Aug 1969 in TX). Her father was Sidney Davenport (b. 1852 near Columbus, GA, d. 1880 near Omaha, TX). His father was Presley Davenport (b. 1805 near Richmond, VA, d. 1890 in Hopkins Co., TX). We do not know the name of Presley"s father, but family lore says that he immigrated from Cork, Ireland in the 1700's. Presley's wife was Sarah Abigail Criddle (b. 1814 in Greene Co., GA, and is buried in Titus Co., TX). They were married in 1830. Presley and Sarah had the following seven children: 1. James (b. 1831 in Pike Co., GA, d. 15 Nov 1862 and is buried at Camp Nelson National Cemetery in KY---he never married). 2. Lue (female---b. 1833 in Cherokee Co., GA, d. 1840). 3. Matilda (b. 1839 in Henry Co., GA, d. 1905 buried in Comanche Co., TX) married Tilman Kincy Seago (b. 1837 in Henry Co., GA, d. 1904 buried in Comanche Co., TX), who founded the town of Seagoville, near Dallas, TX. 4. Jesse Dawson (b. 1844 in Henry Co., GA, d. 1870 near New Orleans when his freight boat sank---his body was never found). 5. George Washington (b. 13 Nov 1848 in Henry Co., GA, d. 27 Feb 1927 near Twin Oak, south of Cumby, TX) married Mary Georgia Habbert (b. 27 Oct 1858 near Minden, LA, d. 10 Sep 1946 in Cumby, TX) about 1875. They are buried at Sunny Point Cemetery in Hopkins Co., TX. 6. Unicia Abigail (b. 18 Nov 1849 in Henry Co., GA, d. 16 May 1935 in Mt. Pleasant, TX) married James Houston Witt (b. 21 Nov 1845 in TN, d. 7 Jul 1898 in Omaha, TX) in 1868. They are both buried near Omaha, Morris Co., TX. 7. Sidney (b. 1852 near Columbus, GA, d. 1880 near Omaha, TX) married Molly/Mary Cameron (b. 1850 in TN). Sid and Molly died when my grandmother, Jennie, and her brother, James, were very young. Sidney's brother ,G.W., and his wife, Georgia, raised Jennie and James along with their own ten children. The exact date that Presley and Sarah Davenport left GA for TX and where they first settled in TX is not known, but it was after the Civil War was over. When they left their plantation near Columbus, their freed slaves chose to go to TX with them. I am new to Genealogy, as I have only been researching my Crunk line for five months. I have just started to research my Davenports because I have recently come into possession of a paper written by a member of the family. The information above was compiled by a granddaughter of the George Washington and Sarah Abigail Davenport above, named Mildred Gladys Davis (b. 18 Jun 1905 at Twin Oak community, TX). On 23 Dec 1961, she married Clifford Atkisson and they lived at Greenville, TX. Sadly, they have now passed from this life. I realize that this is only secondary evidence at this time, but I do know that Gladys Adkisson was interested in her family's history all of her life. I met her once when I was in elementary school in the late1950's at the only Davenport reunion that I ever attended and I know that my father visited with her from time to time to learn things about his mother's family and to compare notes. I am confident that my future research will prove her history to be quite accurate. Having searched the archives of this mailing list, it would seem to me that this information might be new to the group. I give this information freely to the group in hopes that someone might help me to find out facts about the parents and siblings of Presley Davenport, born 1805 near Richmond, VA. Your cousin, Paul
