"Red" Absalom and "Black" Absalom, nick-named for their hair color. We know from the military records Absalom B. Davenport,born 1828,age 31 in 1860,has black hair. He is the son of John and Elizabeth Davenport, both born in NC 1808. See page 147, family No.81, 1860 Census, Jersey Co.IL
There are not one, but two other Absalom Davenports listed in the 1860 Census. Page 145, family no. 68 is Absalom,age 33 married to Matilda and children. Page 146, family No. 75 is Absalom,age37 and Mary and children.
Rick, please email me, I have more details to send you.
