To Marta: I found some references to Davenports in Arkansas, here they are: CENSUS: An Index to Fifth United States Census of Arkansas, 1840: page 24 Name: Davenport, David County: Pope An Index to Fifth United States Census of Arkansas page 24 Name: Davenport, William County: Franklin An Index to Fifth United States Census of Arkansas page 24 Name: Davenport, William County: Wash. MARRIAGES: Davenport, Sarah A. married Swink, Henry A. on 22 Jun 1845 in Clark County, Arkansas Davenport, Clarinda married Tyrce, John on 26 Mar 1826 in Hempstead County, Arkansas Davenport, Susan married Kerr, Celer P. on 29 Mar 1836 in Phillips County, Arkansas Davenport, Mary married Hubbard, Benjamin on 31 Aug 1849 in Washington County, Arkansas Davenport, Charles married Syme, Melvina on 01 Apr 1850 in Washington County, Arkansas Also, you mention that your GGGma married a Davenport but don't say who or when. That would help a lot. Also, what geographical location would "The Hills" be? I live outside Chicago, so don't know much about that. Ha ha.. I hope this helps a little. MargoBelle
