Thank you Doc for your expose' regarding the need for supportive documentation to prove/disprove an ancestral line. An instance of this is basically what motivated me to dig deeper into my branch of the Pamunkey Davenports. (Of course, at the time I knew nothing of the name Pamunkey.) A cousin of mine was so desperate to get her supplemental accepted on our Davenport line that somehow she was able to convince the DAR that we descended from Augustine, through his son David. This never made any sense to me after researching the records for this David, s/o Augustine, so I persisted, w/o consulting my cousin, who I am sure was happy to have her supplemental accepted. Being accepted into the DAR was never a main goal for me, so I guess that was beneficial in motivating me to keep digging until I found the truth. If it were not for the many other Davenport researchers that I began corresponding with here online (before there was a Davenport roots list), it would have taken longer to sort out the misinformation from facts. Fortunately, I have learned from these same researchers (through observation and information) where and how to keep digging. My David Davenport is the son of Martin that moved into Burke County, NC with his father, Thomas, from Culpepper County, VA. I have since accumulated enough records flowing down from Martin to verify the relationship. I am thankful to be part of such a wonderful group of people. Sincerely, Angela Groenhout p.s. I did get into the DAR, not through the Davenport line, but another. The more that I learned of the "good work" that they do, the more I was pulled into the society.
