Earl: Vis-a-vis William Davenport of Fayette County, KY. His wife was Mary Bullock. There are at least two versions of the constituency of their family, one of which includes a son named James Bullock Davenport, who moved to Missouri after his father's death in 1828, and then on to Texas--where the family apparently lost track of him. The second version has him only James Davenport. There was also a son named Rice Bullock Davenport (both versions) who moved to Platte County, Missouri, and was a Colonel of some sort. William of Fayette, wife and family are identified (both versions) in "The Pamunkey Davenports of Colonial Virginia" (A6i) which appears as one of Nevada Jack's web pages, to wit: http://users.intercomm.com/nvjack/davnport/pamunkey.htm and also in a slightly expanded, indexed version in hard copy, obtainable for $10 from Robert L. "Billy Bob" Davenport, coordinator of the Pamunkey Davenport Family Association, 401 Donna Drive, Hopkinsville, KY 42240. The booklet has had a second printing, but that supply was getting low the last I heard. If Billy Bob has much demand, he'll likely do a third printing. Nevada Jack does web pages. Billy Bob does hard copy, printed works. Billy Bob's e-mail address is per CC this message. Insofar as why William of Fayette does not appear in the 1820 Census for Kentucky: If such was the case, he was either missed by the Census enumerator or a portion of the Census may have been lost. The former was more common than the latter (if the entire Census was not burned by the British or by carelessness as in 1890). There were too many human vagaries in the "missed" possibility for me to speculate as to why. John Scott Davenport Holmdel, NJ
