My father is a Baker.
My mother is A. Irene Davenport, who's father is Marcus Virgil Davenport, who's father is Charles C. Davenport. His father is John Davenport and then...Charles again, I think.
Family rumor says Charles (the elder) or John came from Ireland. I'm not sure if that is true because the story switched from Charles (the elder) to Charles (the younger) over the years. And he was either 6 or 12 at the time.
The name of Charles on the census - Was it DAVENPORT or DEAVENPORT? Curious since names change at times.
