I will try to get it done by the first of the year. But, until I do, below you'll find John and what I have on him. Please remember, there is still much work to be done, until we know for sure whether everything is correct. DNA testing can help with answering this and other questions.

SNYDER: Burial: Methodist Cemetery- West Danby, Tompkins, NY Notes for UNKNOWN: Notes by Teri Dimmett- I've seen where many people believe that this unknown woman's name was infact, Betsey Jackson Hillick. I've seen no proof of her, or her maiden name to confirm this. All I see is her name as Betsey Davenport age 42 in 1870 (see notes for John) This Betsy age 42 also fits with her being John's daughter Elizabeth. Also in the same census, in the home with John, Betsey, David, William, Margaret, John & Winfield Davenport is a Betsey Hillick age 38 with children Humphrey, James, Flora, Isabel, Harriet & Ellsworth Hillick. So, as far as I can figure out, all we really know is there is no proof as to her maiden one way or another (that I've seen). For all we know, the 1870 census could be father John with his son David and David's wife Betsey. The census does not indicate relationships, and the ages of John & Betsey are good for being man & wife. Their ages are also good to be father & daughter. We just do not have enough information to determine exactly who either Betsey was. If! you have such proof, we are very anxious to see it. Children of JOHN DAVENPORT and ANNA SNYDER are: i.
