Thanks Marfy. I will definitely write to Roxanne Carkhuff at the Hunterdon
County Historical Society. I really want to get these Davenports
straightened out.

The next time I get to the State Archives in Trenton I will also check the
Genealogical Magazine of NJ.

Dear Carol,
I forgot to respond to your questions.
I would think the best place to look for the church records would be the
Hunterdon County Historical Society. As for the cemetery, it might have
been covered by the Genealogical Magazine of NJ. But, the Hunterdon
Historical Society has a card file of people buried in Hunterdon
Cemeteries. It's alphabetical by name, not sorted by cemetery. I would
write to Roxanne Carkhuff there to see if they have the records.

Hi Marfy,

Thanks for your reply. I do know that John had at least one child,
Lucinda
Myers. She died in Quakertown on 17 Mar 1897 at the age of 79 yrs, 3
mos,
27 days which makes her birth in Dec 1817.
Lucinda married Samuel Davenport in Jan 1840.

Samuel & Lucinda had 8 children that I have been able to determine one
of
whom was my great grandfather, John Wesley Davenport, born in 1843.
John is
buried in Locust Grove Cemetery. Samuel and Lucinda are buried in Nixon

Ford burying ground. Since Samuel & Lucinda were married by the pastor
of
the Methodist Episcopal Church in Quakertown and are buried in the area
I
tend to think that there lives were based there. Do you know where I
might
be able to access the records of either that cemetery or that church? I

really think that I might be able to find some of their family
information
if I could locate these records.

I'm trying to determine Samuel's parentage now that I have Lucinda's. I

know that I am on the Humphrey Davenport line from DNA testing but
haven't
found the link.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Carol

Gary, Marfy, and any one else interested,
I recently discovered that I, too, am a descendant of Albertus Myers.
Not through Cornelius but through another son, John, born 8 Jan 1789,
died 16 May 1879, who married Elizabeth Fox on 7 Mar 1814. I was
wondering if you had any additional information on John's line.

Dear Carol,
It's funny, but I've got nothing on his family other than what you
recited in your email. He bought and sold land in Hunterdon up to 1841,
then seems to disappear. I don't think he has an estate in the Hunterdon
Surrogate's court either. I assume he is one of the many migrants from
Hunterdon County.
Marfy
