John Davenport's wife was Elizabeth, last name unknown, who was born in NY. (I would also like to know who Elizabeth's parents were) John and Elizabeth Davenport had a daughter named Mary "Polly" Davenport, b. 1801 in Dryden, d. 1880 in Linesville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. Mary was married to Joseph Baldwin, who was born 1798 in Dryden. Joseph was the son of William Baldwin and Elizabeth Quackenbush. (Don't know who Elizabeth Quackenbush's mother was, but her father was Adrian Quackenbush. Need help with this, too.) In addition to their daughter Mary "Polly" Davenport Baldwin, John and Elizabeth Davenport might have also had the following children: Phebe (who married a Snyder); Ethan W. of Newfield; John Jr.; Stephen of Newfield; Catherine ? of Owego, NY; Elizabeth and Lucinda; Hezekiah; and Daniel. (These names were found in a probate record on the Tompkins County Genweb.) Any help in finding the parents of John Davenport and also the parents of his wife Elizabeth would be greatly appreciated. I don't have access to local records.
