Loraine D. Peckham, re: Mackeys & Tully Davenport
Hi, Loraine. I, too, was born and reared in Mackeys. My father was William Smith Davenport II, son of Alva Edison Davenport, son of William Smith Davenport. My middle name is Blount--named for my GGrandmother Elizabeth Blount, m. William Smith. My grandfather Raymond Collins was the Norfolk and Southern bridge foreman from the early 30's to the mid-50's. I have a history of Mackeys written by John Forbes Davenport and Fred Davenport (sons of William B. Davenport). Many mentions of Spruills and others in your lineage.
