Noticed your interest in John D.Did your John come fromVA/NC?My gfather was Franklin Pierce D. son of Stephen Pierce Davenport .I know that Stephen was born in VA but later moved to NC- Forsyth Co.Was told that Stephen had a brother Tom who went on to Mississippi and a brother John who went to KY.1850 Va census list children of Joseph and Lucy D as: Joseph F. 19yrs., Moses S. 17 yrs., Mary A. 15 yrs., James H. 12 yrs., Willism T. 11 yrs.,
John W.8yrs., Elmira 6 yrs., Jane 4 yrs, and Stephen 1 yr.Taken from 1850 Halifax Co. census.Halifax was formerly Lunenberg Co until 1752.Don't know if this might be your John or my Stephen but the ages would be correct.e-mail me if you [email protected]
