Hi there,
I am also researching John Davenport but have not spent too much time looking for his parents. I know he was born in Kentucky and then moved to Montgomery co., Indiana. He first married Juliann Coons on November 28, 1838. she died in childbirth August 13, 1840 at the age of 17. Their newborn daughter Juliann died 14 days later. She was daughter of Jesse Coons and Mary Ann Davenport.He then married Sarah Coonson September 01, 1841. they had two children, John (not sure of this one because he was born in 1840 and died 1843) and Juliann born 1842. Sarah died August 29, 1843. He then married Amanda Hill, wife of then deceased James Hill. Marriage date January 16, 1848; all in Montgomery county, Indiana. They had several children: Joshua, Martha and Janett??? according to 1860 census of Adel, Iowa. He moved there with his former in-laws the Jesse Coons family because Macklin Coons had land there. Amanda Hill Coons had children by James Hill:Catherine, Elizabeth and David.
Please let me know if your information is the same. I found this out because I am looking for Julia Coons daughter of John Coons and Mary Brunner. It was thought My Julia married John Davenport but after research believe the above is correct. If I am in error please let me know.
