Hi Janet,

I'll gladly share whatever I have on Abraham. That's what this is all
about. Without sharing we'd all be knocking our heads against brick walls.

I have a copy of Abraham's death record. He died on 7 Jan 1898 in
Quakertown which was also his residence at the time of death. His age is
given as 76 which would make his dob 1822 or 1823.

From the Hunterdon County Democrat he was married to Hannah Swallow on 14
Mar 1849.

I have a copy of Hannah's will which was probated June 12, 1891. It is
interesting that her son Albert is the executor and chief recipient of the
estate. In the will she leaves $10 to her husband Abraham, a list of
household items to Minnie (Albert's wife), and the remaining portion of the
estate to Albert including "one note held against my husband Abraham
Davenport".

That's about all I have for Abraham & his family. As I said I am really
interested in Samuel and just research the siblings for clues.

Contact me off line with your snail mail address if you would like a copy of
the will and Abraham's record of death.

Carol

Carol.

Would you share b/d dates for Abraham Davenport? All I have is
1816-aft.1895. Thanks for the confirmation of his parents. His wife Hannah
Swallow is in my line.

I have Samuel Housel m. July 8, 1827, HC. NJ. Elizabeth Swallow, dau of
Nicholas Swallow and Mary Bower. But, I find only one Samuel Housel, b. 1821
in PA. Elizabeth was Elizabeth Housel in will of her father Nickolas,1856.

Pos. Sam went by Henry, Theodore...? Pos. Samuel died..? Pos. spelling is
incorrect...?
Anyone have a Samuel Housel?

Thanks,
Jan
