My Family Tree

Details on descendants of John Davenport from family researcher Bonnie Davenport (private communication) or Lisa Goodwin's tree here -
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/g/o/o/Lisa-A-Goodwin/index.html

John & Lucy Davenport bought land in Russell Co 24 Oct 1805
John Davenport in Washington Co, VA 1810 Census, but also in 1810 Russell Co, VA Property Tax List w/ "Isam Hall"
1814 Russell County Tax List "240 acres On both sides of Big Cedar Creek"
Not clear if 1820 TN Census is complete, but Bonnie has numerous references to John in Claiborne Co, TN then.
However, there are 2 John Davenport's in Washington Co, VA 1820.
John is Isham's neighbor in Scott 1830 and Russell 1850 Counties, VA
David is Isham's neigbor in 1840 Claiborne Co, TN. John and Lucy in Russell Co, VA 1840.
John lives with granddaughter's family, Andrew and Polly Williams, in Russell Co, VA 1850.

This John is claimed by Pamunkey's to be son of Glover Davenport. His brother was Joseph who is the most likely candidate for the father of the 4 brothers who went to Jackson County, TN. Other children in this family from the Pamunkey Chronicles. It also lists other brothers of John as Matthew (the eldest), Joel, William, and Moses.

Note the coincidental dates in the account of Elisha and John Davenport here -

Elisha moved to Wayne Co, KY after 1800 which is just up the Cumberland River from Jackson Co, TN.
He is "Elisha Devenport" in the 1830 census , age 70-79. Descendants do not match Y-DNA of our Davenports.

Some have confused this John with one from Patrick Co, VA (married Nancy Burnett; father probably Elisha Davenport)

Elisha Davenport moved to Wayne Co, KY? (born 1740-1750; died after 1830)

Susan Davenport Dobkins of Wayne Co, KY here has parents "John and Lucy Davenport" on her death cert. She was born 1809 in "Patrick Co, VA" and probably belongs in this family.

Kentucky, Death Records, 1852-1963
Name: Susan Dobkins [Susannah Davenport]
Death Date: 25 Nov 1859
Death Location: Wayne, Kentucky, USA
Residence Location: Wayne
Age: 51
Gender: Female
Race: White
Birth Date: abt 1808
Father's name: John Davenport
Mother's name: Lucy Davenport

May possibly be another son born between Isham and William (note the gap in births). A Y-DNA matching line descends from someone known only as "Traveling Man" Davenport said to be born 1811 VA. We don't have the 1820 Census to confirm, and he could have left before the 1830 Census. A likely candidate is the Benjamin R Davenport of Marion Co, KY who married Nancy Blain. Their children's names match this family.
