Hi Pam, I have been researching the Davenports for over 30 years. Richard Reger and I have been in contact recently and have been sharing information. It is great to add another who is interested in this line. The children of Lucinda Myers and Samuel Davenport that I have been able to determine is primarily from census records from 1850 and 1860. Some have been confirmed by death records if I could find them. Levi Davenport b. 31 Oct 1840 d. 27 Mar 1927 John W. Davenport b. 22 Jun 1843 d. 22 Jun 1928 (as listed on his death record - some question here) Amy E. Davenport b. 1845 (Richard has more on her) Mary S. Davenport b. 1848 William M. Davenport b. 1850 Lafayette Davenport b. 1 Sep 1852 d. 23 June 1928 Lemuel Davenport b. 1855 Kayia (or Kazia) Davenport b. 1857 John is my great grandfather and I have been tracking his siblings as well trying to find more on Samuel and Lucinda in my quest for their parents. Richard & I have pretty much agreed on Lucinda's heritage but Samuel is now our focus. Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamelyn P.

She died 23 November 1908 and is buried in Locust Grove Cemetery with her husband. They lived in Franklin Twp and had 11 children including a first born, Ellsworth Haver, who died at age 4 and was the first burial in the "new" Locust Grove Cemetery. This is not our family, but I did a little research for my husband's uncle by marriage whose family lived in Franklin Twp for almost 200 years. The Myers, Fox, Coles, Davenport and older Haver information was given to me by Richard Reger who has been actively researching Lucinda Myers Davenport's ancestry for several years. Quakertown has three cemeteries, two in excellent condition. It is a shame to see what has become of the Nixon Craven Burying Ground. We need a program in NJ similar to Adopt-A-Highway called Adopt-A-Cemetery where care would be provided to non-incorporated cemeteries by removing weeds and finding stones that have been covered by earth in the 20th century. It isn't enough to transcribe the inscriptions. Until Locust Grove was founded, the Nixon-Craven families provided an area where Quakertown families who were not Quakers, could bury their dead. This is why most of the Methodists were buried there, and the Baptists were buried in Cherryville Cemetery adjacent to the Cherryville Baptist church and the Presbyterians were buried in Mt. Pleasant. A history of the Quakertown United Methodist Church, founded 1836, was written by Kenneth V. Myers, a Hunterdon Co historian, for their 150th anniversary celebration in 1986 and contains some of this information. It would be interesting to me to have a list of all the children of Samuel and Lucinda Davenport. I had no idea this couple was of interest to anyone except Richard and myself. A nice surprise!
