Richard Davenport was born in Kilby Parish, Leicestershire, England on 6 Sept. 1640. He was the son of John and Elizabeth Davenport. His family was known as the “Great Wigston Davenports”. Documented evidence indicates that Richard was living in Perquimans Precinct of North Carolina by 1665. He married Johanna (unknown) and had seven children. Richard Jr. born 2 March 1674, Elizabeth born 3 July 1676, John born 1 Nov. 1677, Sarah born 10 Oct. 1682, Isaac born 17 Sept. 1685, Susannah born 18 Nov. 1688 and Agnis born 17 Nov. 1691. Johanna lived to about late 1700 and Richard died by March 1714.  Many of his decedents continued to live in the Albemarle Sound region of North Carolina and are known as the “Albemarle Davenports” in the United States.

Albemarle Branches -  Relationship Tree

The following are the known male branches of the Albemarle line. For our purposes a branch would begin with the sons of the 1st generation. If there was only one son then we would start with the sons in the 2nd generation and so on. We would like to test at lease one individual from each branch. The red highlighted entries are branches for which we have test participants. Of course we will accept any Davenport participants but especially need the non-highlighted branches.

If there are additional branches not listed or other changes need to be made - contact info@DavenportDNA.com

Y-DNA Test Results  - Note: The Y-DNA of the Albemarle Davenport's is very similar to three other American lines and those of English origin. This means that these groups are all related somehow.  To see how the Albemarle Y-DNA compares to the others, you can visit the English page here: Davenports of Direct English Descent

These are the Y-DNA results to-date of the participants descended from Richard Davenport. The different row colors represent the separate branches of the line.  Click on the Kit # to view more information about the individual Davenport linage.  Newer results have a purple block to the left of the kit number. The Modal haplotype is what we believe the Y-DNA of Richard looked like based on current results.  Red and blue cells show where an individual varies from the modal. Red indicates movement upward, while blue downward. Combined pink cells represent "connected" markers where the actual difference is counted as one.

The descendents of Richard Davenport

Other Surnames

 

In most cases when any of our Davenport results have had a high resolution (37 or 67 marker) match - it was with another Davenport. However, there have been a few other surnames that came very close to the Davenports. For our purposes, very close means they match on 33 out of 37 markers or better, or 62 out of 67 or better. The surnames listed below are those that are very close to this Davenport line on the 37 or 67 marker test.

This does not necessarily infer that they had a common ancestor.  But it may be worth looking into the possibility. The first step is to determine if the ancestors lived in the same vicinity at the same time. When viewing the "prospects" - give the 67/67 a higher priority, then 66/67, and 65/67, and so on.

Analysis

The Albemarle Davenports are descended from Richard Davenport, born in 1640 in Kilby Parish, Leicestershire, England.  Richard was in his mid 20's by the time he appeared in North Carolina. His Y-DNA is very similar to three American lines that arrived in the Boston area in the early 1600's - Rev. John, Captain Richard, and Thomas of Dorchester. This group is also very close to Davenports with more recent connections back to England.  In other words, the Albemarle's descend from the ancient Davenport lines of Cheshire, England.

Recent research indicates that Richard is a part of the Wigston Davenports of Leicestershire. The Wigston's carry a mutation on marker 534 which is shared by the Albemarle's - a 14 mutating from a 15. They also share, with the Rev. John line, similar mutations on markers 439 and YCAiib. This means the Albemarle and Rev. John lines are more closely related to each other, than to the other two American lines.

Within the Albemarle line, we have found we can distinguish between two of the branches. (Well... almost). All descendents of Richard's son, John, have an 11 on marker GATA H4. While all descendents of Richard's grandson, thru son Isaac, has a 10. Since we don't have descendents of Isaac's other sons, we don't know if the mutation happened with Isaac or George. Since we don't have any descendents from Richard's other son, Richard, we can't be certain it will also be an 11.
