Carol, The cemetery where Samuel & Lucinda Davenport are buried is known as the Craven / Nixon burial ground. It is located a half mile south of Quakertown in Franklin Township, just down the road from the M. E. Church. In his book "Facts and Fantasies of Franklin", the late J. E. Stout describes this cemetery in Chapter 10. The earliest interment at that place is of Samuel McPherson. "Samuel McFerson Sener was born April 4 1709, and departed this life September 2d 1772, aged 63 years." Most of the headstones at Craven / Nixon are very worn. Although I could discern the inscription on your Davenport stone (an obelisk), it would not photograph well. Good luck on your project. Beverly G.
