"John Davenport married Catharine Flansburgh. Of their union ten children were born; five sons and two daughters are now living." (per W.W. Munsell book 1880, in Appendix) [note that Emil 1841-45, John M. 1842-44 and John M. 1845-46 deceased as of 1880, therefore 2 unknown females and 1 additional unknown male child, all who would have been living in 1880, have been added to 7 named children identified through other sources]
Perhaps this 1 additional unknown male child is the Loren A. Davenport referred to in the Biographical section of Munsell's 1880 book as "one of the sons of John Davenport (b. 20 Oct 1824 at Harpersfield), and was born in the town (Davenport). He is a jeweler at Davenport, where he was born in 1856. Miss Elizabeth Shellman became his wife March 26th, 1879." |
