Dear Cousins, Enough people replied to me, both on and off the list, that they *did not* receive Bob's notes, that I have decided to re-post them on the list in multiple parts. My apologies to those of you who have already read this information. Do not be alarmed if you do not receive these notes in the same order I send them. The Internet works in strange and mysterious ways. I believe that the smaller the message, the faster it travels :-) Enjoy, Nevada Jack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "From Colonial & Revolutionary Lineages of America, Vol 9, p165, The Family In America Francis Davenport, son of Edward and Ellen (Newton) Davenport, was born, probably in Cheshire, England in 1651, and died, probably in New Jersey, about 1707, He was a member of the Society of Friends and lived, for some years, in Whittington, Derbyshire. As early as 1689 he settled in Chesterfield, Burlington County, New Jersey.

He was a member of Lord Cornbury's Council in New Jersey. The following is from Besse's "Sufferings of the Quakers": 'Anno 1677.
