Davenport Homestead

Jordan Wilson Davenport was a great-great-grandson of Daniel Davenport. When his old shack startled to crumble, he moved into the Davenport house with his cousin Harriet Ann Davenport. "Uncle Jurd" used to sit across the road under the shade trees with a group of neighborhood men. They used to sit and spin tall tales as they sipped from their bottles. He died in 1972. A younger picture of Jurd is on the Pics page.
