    1. [DAVENPORT] Cornelius Davenport
    2. Mary Lou - Your Humphrey would have been too young to fight in the Revolutionary War, too old for the Civil War, but might have served in The War of 1812. I didn't find any records of him there, but you might check further. I did find several Humphreys in some census indexes, possibly father & son? Here they are: 1810 DAVENPORT, HUMPHREY Tolland County CT, Pg. 311, Coventry Twp., Federal Population Schedule 1802 DAVENPORT, HUMPHREY Bergen County NJ, Pg. 8, Pompton Twp. August Tax List, NJ Tax Lists Index 1772-1822 1810 DAVENPORT, HUMPHREY Washington County NY, Pg. 502, Dist. 20201-01101 Federal Population Schedule 1820 DAVENPORT, HUMPHREY Ontario County NY, Pg. 312, Farmington Twp. Federal Population Schedule 1820 DAVENPORT, HUMPHREY Luzerne County PA, Pg. 312, Huntington Township Federal Population Schedule 1830 DAVENPORT, HUMPHREY Ontario County NY, Pg. 177, Manchester Twp. Federal Population Schedule 1840 DAVENPORT, HUMPHREY Tompkins County NY, Pg.186, Dryden Twp. Federal Population Schedule NOTE: There are 3 other Humphrey Davenports in the 1830 and 1840 censuses, in Renssalaer Co., Oneida Co. and Albany Counties, N.Y. I also found these land records: HUMPHREY, DAVENPORT MONROE Co. Michigan 1835/10/06 80 acres I also found two wills for Humphrey Davenports that were probated in Maryland, but haven't got the counties or dates, sorry. There are also several Humphreys in Ct. and N.J. listed in books about colonial settlers. A Humphrey Davenport also appears as a witness to several New York wills in 1680, as well as these references: New York City Wills, 1708-1728 Inventory: 2 decaying small houses at ye Old Church yard, next Suart Olpherts and Mrs. Humphrey Davenport, €300. All according to ye Respective Ground Briefs, and Transports thereof. Page 38.--Inventory of estate of ANN WATKINS, taken by James Matthews and Humphrey Davenport. Small list of household goods, and furniture, €18, 7s, 3d. Page 52.--THOMAS DODD, of Barbadoes Gent, administrator of estate of James Gilchrist, deceased, makes Francis Parsons his attorney, to collect all dues, and especially a judgment against Humphrey Davenport, July 26, 1681. HUMPHREY DAVENPORT, plaintiff, against Elizabeth Gebbs, August 2, 1679. Claims 127 guildres, due for rent. At a Court of Record held at the City Hall, August 1679, before Thomas Delavall, mayor.
