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.
Possible record of 1st marriage, if James from Prince George Co, VA: 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: 1836 Tax Roll - District 3 Land sale registerd 14 Feb 1825 - entered on 21 July 1824. " James Davinport #2108 50 acres...on the waters of Wartrace Creek on the North side of Cumberland River...a beech on the top of the Ridge..." |
