Narrative |
Susannah Richardson must be James 2nd wife, not just because of the age difference with earlier censuses, but because she was in White County, TN in 1820, and James was already married with 4 girls in Jackson County, TN.
I am placing all the children here for convenience until I find his first wife. Note daughter Sarah Jane Davenport Huffines says her mother was from South Carolina.
Were they pronouncing it "Debinfort"? Apparent spelling in 1860 & 1870 Jackson Co, TN Census
A Permilia b.1828 lives with the family in 1860 - but not 1850 - assume she's niece.
His brother Charles is gone by 1840 Census, but there is no separate family w/ wife head of household. Instead, James hh has grown much larger and seems to be a merger of the 2 Davenport families. Indeed, by 1840, there were 2 girls <5 and 4 girls 5-10 years old. It seems likely some of those 4 were actually Charles daughters (born 1830-1835). Therefore we should have:
(by older wife b. 1780-1790)
1810-1820: 4 girls
1825-1830: 3 girls
1831-1835: 3 girls (assume 1 from Charles)
1836-1840: 2 girls (possibly 1 or more from Charles)
(by 1840 has younger wife, probably Susannah)
