I found an interesting statement documented by SAMUEL MARTIN RAY b. 1845. Volume Five, The Tennessee Civil War Veterans Questionaires, page 1798. This may be a Pamunkey connection: Quote: "My mother was Mary Martin Davenport. My grandfather was Samuel W. Davenport a native of South Carolina. My grandmother was Jane Davenport of Jefferson County, Alabama. The family were originally from Virginia, said to be connected with Pocahontas, left South Carolina to Alabama between 1820-1830. My grandmother was one of two orphans and lived in South Carolina during the Revolutionary War and were of Scotch descent. The Tories dore open their house and scattered their effects." End quote. Samuel Martin Ray further documents his life before and after the Civil War. Describes his education, property, people he knew and did business with. Elaborates on the social issues of his time. Gives very good information concerning his Civil War Confederacy service. I just discovered this book, and, ironically, I was not even researching Davenports that day ! In 1914-15 questionnaire forms were sent to all known living TN Civil War vets. 1,650 responses are listed alphabetically. In addition to the 1,650 names/families, names of their community acquaintances and names soldiers in their military units, are documented. It is complete social picture of the respondents life. Hope this wonderful information will be helpful to someone. Nancy in Texas
