This page last updated Saturday July 02, 2011

Lancelot Davenport was born about 1594.  He arrived in Virginia on the Ship "Duty" in 1621 as clerk to Edward Blaney, factor for the Virginia Company.  Whether he returned to England with Blaney in 1625 when the Virginia Company's charter was revoked is unknown, but he was in Virginia in 1638 when he was granted 50 acres for his "Personal Adventure."  Lancelot and other Davenports in the area are known as the James River Davenports.  Whether Lancelot married or had children is not known.     NOTE - Very recent research has determined that the three James River participants may not be James River Davenports after all. They have now been moved to the "Limbo" Davenport page.

Listed below are some of websites dedicated to researching the James River Davenports.  Each represents the complete line or information about its progenitor. If you know of additional websites that might fit this same criteria - please contact the administrator at info@DavenportDNA.com.

A good place to start any Davenport research is Nevada Jack's Davenport Directory and Davenport site. It contains lists of hundreds of Davenport researchers and their interests.

James River Branches

We do not yet know what the branches of the James River Davenports are. So listed below are the branches of the matching participants. 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 

These are the Y-DNA results to-date of the participants descended from James River Davenports. 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 James River Davenports looked like based on current results.  Red cells show where an individual varies from the modal. Combined pink cells represent "connected" markers where the actual difference is counted as one.

The descendents of James River Davenports

 belong to Haplogroup R1b1b2

 Note: Marker DYS 710 is treated differently than the others. The "repeats" (value) comes in two different sizes (bases) - two and four. If the mutation involved a two base mutation, an example would be from 35 to 35.2  A four base mutation would be something like 35 to 36 or 35.2 to 36.2  But a jump that looks like four (35 to 36) could also be two two-base mutations. The markers below, to the right of the purple line, represent a part of FTDNA's Advanced Marker selection. These markers  can be tested individually and in addition to the traditional 111 markers.  By increasing the number of markers tested we may be able to find additional DNA patterns enabling us to distinguish family branches.

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.
