I hope you are still there and connected to this forum. I cannot answer your need just now but may be able to at a later time.
My dad was a brother to Nora Davenport Oliver. And there was a time many years ago that we visited in the Greenville and Lone Oak area and that included most of the Davenport family and their spouses.
I am in the process of writing up all I know and have discovered on mine and my wife's ancestors and when available their spouses and children.
I do recall knowing that Homer and Nora moved to Sparta Tenn which is White County as you would know. I knew my cousins who were Willis, Irene and Leo. I do not know who they may have married or if Irene ever married. Yesterday I was trying to find White County cemeteries and have found 12 which are in or near to Sparta. I will get back to looking at them today Nov 23 and see if I can find where any or all are buried.
In the 1930 census of Hunt County Texas Homer C and Nora and their children are at home at that time. I am not sure if the census is correct in where their children were born. The census listed Homer and the children as having been born in Tenn which may be correct.
I feel reasonably sure that you are aware of Wm A and John F. Oliver.I found them in the White Co TN census of 1900.
Irene came to East Texas in about 1963 or 64 and I saw her. I am 80 years old and all of my Oliver cousins were older than I so I'm reasonably sure that all of them have now passed on.
I may have not told you anything you didn't already know but felt I must answer the query and see what develops.
