LINEAGE: She has been able to trace her complete line back to Richard Davenport of the Albemarle Davenports: Richard > Isaac > George > Edmond > Reuben > Elisha Bell > George > Arthur > Carl.

 

Elisha Bell Davenport migrated to Denton County, Texas, in 1880. From there, his son, George, loaded his family into a wagon and followed the trail into Indian Territory in 1889, settling in Love County, I.T. They eventually moved to the Pottawatomie and Cleveland County areas (Oklahoma Territory) where many of their descendants still live today � including her. She's done extensive research following this line which culminated in a book, Davenports and Upchurches: Pioneers in Indian Territory (1642-2002).

 

Her personal Web site (www.coxok.com), provides numerous photos, obituaries, and articles about the last four generations and she plans to post more genealogy info in the near future.

 

Her proxy, brother George (#20775), participated in the Davenport DNA study with results of his 75 marker test posted at www.DavenportDNA.com
