Mr. Pantier: I don't know if this will help you or not, but I stumbled upon this in the library today. I will include it just as it was written from "Forks of Elkhorn Church" by Ermina Jett Darnell, With Genealogies of Early Members, Clearfield Publishing. DAVENPORT-William, r 1819 Jonas Davenport (____, 1802), of Jessamine, m Alice Redd (dau Mordecai and Agatha Minor Redd), W 1791. They had these children: 1, Samuel; 2, Polly; 3, Nancy; 4, Elizabeth; 5, Lucy Major; 6, Rev. William (1801-1852), m Eliza A. Major, Christian 1819, and their children were: William, Chastain, Benjamin, Jackson. As Rev. William's parrents died when he was very young, he made his home with his aunt, Mrs. Williams, of Scott County. After his marriage he lived in Fayette until 1825, and then removed to Christian, and while there was converted to the teaching of Campbell, and became a minister in the Christian Church. In 1835 he and his family, in company with his wife's relatives, removed to Woodford County, Illinois, where they established Walnut Grove Academy, reorganizing it in 1855 as Eureka College. He died in Nebraska City, Nebr. Fortunatus Davenport m Mary (Nancy?) Williams, W 1811; Charles M. Davenport m Mary Harrison, Jessamine 1821. Powhatan Davenport was in Woodford, 1822. The above is the entire text relating to Davenports -- the Jessamine, Fayette, Christian and Scott refer to counties in Kentucky. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Earl Pantier <EPantier@compuserve.com> To: DAVENPORT-L@rootsweb.com <DAVENPORT-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 6:44 PM Subject: [DAVENPORT] Re: William Davenport of Fayette Co., KY >To John Scott Davenport, >I was most interested in your recent explanation of the differences of the >Williams of Kentucky - particularly that of William of Fayette Co.
