Janet: Do you have a date for when Abe and Hannah purchased the property from Hannah's parents?? Also wondering where you found that information? Would like to know when, how and from whom Leonard C. Davenport acquired his property which is not far away from Abraham's in Franklin Twp. Their brother Samuel Davenport also lives nearby. The $64,000 question for me is how the three brothers came to be in the same vicinity. Richard in FL > I found Hannah's will interesting myself.
