Posted on: Washington County, NC Query Forum Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Washington?read=344 Surname: Davenport, Ambrose ------------------------- Claire: In answer to the last line of your query. The name AMBERS did not change to AMBROSE. That is simply the way the Ambose name was and still is pronounced in Washington Co NC. If you look on a recent map of at the road names around Creswell, Washington Co, NC you will find an Ambrose Road, however the way the name is pronounced by everyone (even today) is Ambers Road. Hope this helps. Link: The Haas / Davenport Homepage URL: <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haas>
