I am looking for information/documentation on my grandfather James D. Davenport who married Margaret (Maggie) Josephine Poteet 28 Feb 1894 in Comanche Co., TX. They owned a farm near Gorman, TX (Eastland County). James died in accident when horses spooked ran away with his wagon on way into town. Maggie moved into town after his death farm was sold. Their children were: John d. 1920's, Louisa/Louise Davenport Bullock Cullins, Arminta Davenport Rogers, Jesse Dillon/Dillard? ("J.D."), Theodore Leslie (orig. Leslie Theodore) my father, Harold, Janice Davenport Blair (only surviving child of James Maggie Davenport). I am looking on any information anyone has re: my grandfather James D. Davenport or his parents/siblings/ancestry. Also, any further info on my aunts/uncles (his children) ANY documented info re: this Davenport family in TX would be greatly appreciated. By the way, it was well known in family that James was part-Cherokee Indian. Evidently was considered a "scandal" that my grandmother Maggie Poteet married him. If you have any info, please reply to this posting or email me at
