Grateful thanks to Linda Haas Davenport for posting all those Davenport deeds. On this list I found an early deed for my GGgrandfather Joshua B. DAVENPORT (1827-1892) "et al." I sent for a copy of the deed and now have a line on his parentage which I have been seeking for more than 20 years. The "et al" appear to be his brother and sisters, heirs of Alexander H. DAVENPORT. And there is an Alexander of appropriate age with appropriate family in the 1830 Washington Co. census. Is anyone on this list able to do lookups of the 1840 Washington Co. census? I'd like very much to see what information there is on this family. Also, is anyone out there researching JARVIS? Joshua B. Davenport's (supposed) sister Penelope (Penny) Davenport married Edmund Jarvis of Tyrrell County in 1846.
