I am looking for information on John Washington Davenport born ca. 1816/17 in Kentucky or North Carolina. He married Cinthia A. Walker in Kentucky and had a son, James Alexander Davenport along with other children. He resided in Christian and Hopkins County Kentucky.

Did you receive any info on John W. Davenport? Forgive my mistakes at this; I am new to this forum.

John W. was my gg-grandfather; his son James A. Davenport, m. Sarah Henderson, was my g.grandfather; their son George Caspar, was my grandfather; his son, James A., was my father.

After several years of research, I've only found the record of John and Cynthia's marriage. But my brother has a fairly good record of descendents.

Hope to hear from you!

My ancestors are Davenport's from NC, Tyrrell Co. & Washington Co. I am trying to track down the John Davenport's from this area of NC do you think this is the area where your ancestors came from???

It could very well be. The only information I have is that my father remembered his father saying that some of their ancestors came to Kentucky from North Carolina. I have record of John Washington Davenport marrying Cinthia Walker in Kentucky but do not find any birth records for John Washington Davenport in Kentucky. I have also found the surname spelled as Devenport. Please let me know if you think there could be a link to your John Davenport

have you checked out the web site for Tyrrell Co., NC..
http://patriot.net/~cpbarnes/TYRRELL.HTM it might be of some help..I am not aware of any of my line of Davenport's leaving Tyrrell Co. for KY but do know that some left..

My ggrandmother was Mary M Devenport. She was born in Tennesse. This was the only time I had ever seen the name spelled with an e instead of an a. Dont have any info other than this right now.

My grandmother was Violet Bone, daughter of Mary M. Davenport(Bone). I would like to confirm the information that I have researched. There was an Albert, Mary, children Hattie, Jessie, Calvie, Russell, Lillian, Violet and Winfred Bone. I was told by my father (Violet's son) that they were of Cherokee nationality. I am trying to confirm my nationality of Cherokee and German. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Was John Washington Davenport son James Alexander Davenport born about 1838? Thanks, Carolyn

Hi--I just saw your query from 2007. This James A Davenport is indeed John's son, and my ggrandfather. I've been researching this line for several years, but have hit a roadblock at John and Cynthia (Sintha). Are we related? I've been able to fill in a lot of blanks for descendants. Thanks.
