Hi Jann, In regard to your Devenport family. I would probably doubt if my group is the same, but with some of these especially mysterious Davenports who knows. Our Davenports started out at Devenports....and were from Virginia as far back as 1765. There are 2 John W. Davenports. One was born in 1858 son of David Davenport, son of Isham Davenport. The other John W. was born in 1880 in Kentucky, the son of Thomas Jefferson Davenport and Sarah Gobble.... Thomas was son of Isham Davenport. This John married a Agnes Isabelle Mitchel. Now one thing that is peculiar is that Isham Davenport.....in 1880 was on the Washington County Virginia Census Records.....but, on those records, someone in pen had crossed off Virginia and wrote in 'Arkansas'. We now that some of the family eventually went in that direction..... I believe first to Missouri and then to Arkansas. (NOTE: June Johnson..... if your reading this, maybe you can fill her in on how this works better than me....) I do know that OUR Devenport/Davenport is a hard group to trace.... I know that our Isham had 22 children and they are hard to find or keep up with.... Do you know any more about your family such as their prior home.... VA? As I said, this is probably nothing, but ...... Bonnie Davenport
