property in Williamsburg to Augustine Davis who married Martha Davenport. In 1787
he is charged for tax James City County for himself and Joseph Davenport. Could this
Ambrose be any relation to the Ambrose R. Davenport who joined the army at Richmond, under
Capt. Ballard Smith, in 1792?? Or could this man be Ambrose, born 1771, the son of Mary
Hutchins Blake, god parents; John Edwards, Ambrose and Mary
Davenport. Ambrose R. Davenport ended up in MI., stationed at Mackinac Island in

descent, and probably related to the Cyphers who settled near Wytheville, and later moved
to Buchannan Co Abner disappeared c. 1840...family history has him having a fight with Eve and
"going back to the old country). Seems most likely that his family was from the Wytheville
