Carol and others: I remember tracing this William Davenport when I first began researching my line back into NC (Elaine, I'll get you started here). What I am posting is strictly from memory and could have some mistakes (couldn't find my old notes on him). What I remember is this: he married Sarah Comfort Fischer in Accomack Co., VA circa 1769. He had about eight children w/ the names that I remember for sure were a William and a Thomas. One of his children married a Spainhour (different spellings are found) in NC (Surry County) and remained there. There were many listings for Spainhours in Surry/Wilkes County that I remember. I am almost positive that I found an entry in the LDS Family History Center. I believe whomever contributed the entry stated that he was born in England, but that is to be determined. William is in the tax records for Surry up until around the 1790s and after. He moved to Casey County, KY to claim his military land grant. I am also pretty sure that I found a lot of evidence of his presence in Casey County records. I quit following him once I realized that he was not my ancestor. Hope this helps. Angela Groenhout
