davenport/AL/1830-1870
Am searching for the family of Francis
Davenport, born c. 1830 in either AL or GA.
She married John Pollard of Cherokee Co., AL c. 1851, probably in Cherokee Co., AL.John
Pollard's family moved to Arkansas in 1852
and it is possible that John and Francis also
went to Arkansas.By 1860, Francis was dead and her 2 children, Mary and George, were
living with their paternal grandmother, the widowed Rachel Pollard, in Calhoun Co.,
AL.Richard Davenport and Matthew Alexander
signed land applications attesting to the
fact that Rachel Pollard was the widow of
Benjamin Pollard in the late 1850s, they
may have been relatives of Francis Davenport.
John Pollard, Francis's husband, died in the
mid or late 1860s in Arkansas.
