I did find his wife to be Francis Lair. I found them listed on the 1870 census. I found one place that listed his father as David G also and that the father was married to a Susan Green in Baltimore, MD. On the 1870 census he has shown that he was born in PA. Another Davenport I came across was a Robert W (?) Davenport on a land patent in Palmyra, MO in 1837 but have found no connection with him. Don't know if any of this will help, let me know. What were the names you have that moved to MO? Martha

Articles from unknown source. Extracted from the newspaper article collection started in 1879 by Mrs. Nannie Brown of Madison, Missouri. Milton Forsyth is Dead "Milton Forsyth died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rufus Bloodsworth, Saturday evening. He was born in Harrison county, Kentucky in 1826 and came to Missouri in 1851, and has made his home in this community for nearly sixty years. During his years of residence in Madison and vicinity, he endeared himself to all by his sincere, beautiful and lovable character, living his life simply and unselfishly. Indeed it may be truly said of him that in all of the relations of life he was a true man. The memory of his godly life will linger throughout time with those who knew him. He was the father of fourteen children, seven of whom with their mother are dead. Funeral services were conducted by Elder E.M. Richmond at the Christian church Sunday morning at eleven o'clock after which the remains were conveyed to the cemetery at Forest Grove and laid to rest beside his loved ones who have gone on before to the better world. He had been a member of the Christian church for many years and until the infirmities of old age overtook him, always took an active part in the work, his services and means being freely given for the upbuilding of his Master's cause. In his death the community loses not only an upright Christian citizen but one whose influence for better things affected the lives and characters of man. The bereaved family have the most sincere sympathy of all in their sorrow." "In writing of the death of Milton Forsyth last week, we inadvertently stated that he died Saturday evening. He died Friday evening at 9:15 and funeral services were held at the Christian church on Sunday morning at 11:00 o'clock."

Undated article from the Roswell, N.M. News. Extracted from the newspaper article collection started in 1879 by Mrs. Nannie Brown of Madison, Missouri. L.W. Forsyth is Beaten into Insensibility and Left to Die. Three Men are Charged with Roping, Tieing and Severely Beating 69 Year Old Roswell Rancher. "Beaten into insensibility and left to die, L.W. Forsyth, of 609 North Kentucky, walked two miles to the Berry ranch west of Roswell last night and was taken to the Flores ranch from where he was brought to this city in a dazed and serious condition. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Forsyth was eating his lunch sitting on the running board of his car at one of his ranches west of Roswell. In the distance he had noticed three men driving cattle, but had thought nothing of it. Later he saw the three separate and go in opposite direction. Then according to the report to local officers, one of the three came from behind the car, roping Mr. Forsyth and within a few seconds the other two appeared. Mr. Forsyth last night said his three assailants were Otis Knight, Doris Knight and Tims Knight, all of whom make their home west of Roswell. According to the report to officer, Mr. Forsyth, who had one tooth knocked out, one eye closed, a shoulder dislocated and who sustained serious cuts about the face and body, was placed in his own car and taken to a point near the Flores ranch which is about ten miles southwest of Roswell. Here Forsyth was removed from the car and securely tied with ropes, was thrown out into the tall grass and informed that the grass would be set afire. He was then beaten with a rope and the fists of at least one of the men, until he lost consciousness. The three men, however, untied Forsyth before they left the scene of the attack, let the air out of the four tire of the care and with a knife cut a huge hole in the spare tire. Articles from the car were strewn over the ground in every direction. Mr. Forsyth said today that he first saw the three men at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the assault taking place some time between 3 and four o'clock. After regaining consciousness, Mr. Forsyth, who is 69 years of age, walked to the Perry ranch from which point he was taken to the Flores ranch and brought to Roswell, arriving at 8 o'clock. Officers were at one notified and a search for the three Knights was started. They had disappeared however and nothing had been heard of them up to a late hour this afternoon. Officers characterized this as one of the most cowardly assaults in the history of Roswell. Mr. Forsyth was severely beaten and was practically a nervous wreck today as the result of his experience. Officers said they believed the assault resulted from a belief on the part of the Knights that Forsyth had been instrumental in furnishing officers with information regarding various alleged bootlegging activities west of Roswell. Attending physicians pronounced Mr. Forsyth's condition today as serious. Officers at an early hour last night took the trail of the three men, whom Mr. Forsyth had committed the assault, but they were no where to be found. The search continued today and it was the belief of local officials that arrests would follow shortly." Copyright notice: All transcriptions in this email are copyrighted by their creator.
