Early Bergen County Families, compiled by Pat Wardell, 130 Crestview Drive, Englewood, FL 34223 • [email protected]
-- DAVENPORT -The family groups represented in this collection may not be complete, because information was entered bit by bit as I found it
or happened upon it; I have not done any systematic research on these families. Because they do not compose whole family
genealogies, these listings are arranged differently from most genealogical records or histories. Each listing is a family group,
and is arranged and filed alphabetically under the name of the head of the family.
Names are generally in alphabetical order (disregarding spelling variations and middle names), then in approx. chronological
order. The first sorting is by surname (mixing together any and all spelling variations), then by given name, then by approximate birthdate (when known) in approximate chronological order. For easier reference, surnames in headings are grouped together under the most common spelling usage that evolved in this geographical location, regardless of individualistic
spellings in the records themselves. Cross references are used in most cases where surname spellings substantially vary.
Within the quoted records, the individual spellings have been (mostly) retained because they sometimes provide clues (although in general—but with exceptions—they seem to largely reflect the record keeper's particular orthography and not always, at this early period, any special family preference). Those interested can see the variety and evolvement of a particular
name’s spelling and the interesting and sometimes amusing attempts at phonetic reproduction. Keep in mind that before
names and spellings were standardized, records reflected the individualistic whim of the particular recorder (often two different spellings of the same name within the same document). In addition, all records were handwritten, and sometimes deciphering a handwritten name in early records can be quite challenging! So expect to search under all possibilities of spelling
(for both surnames and given names).
Given names are grouped together without regard for middle initials or middle names. Because middle names and/or initials
are sometimes used, sometimes not used in various records, it seemed simplest to arrange entries as if the middle names or
initials did not exist. Usually all variations of a given name are grouped together as though spelled one way: Jan, Johannes,
John, etc. are all grouped as one (but also look under the other forms).
Sources and references are included with each "family" grouping, but may or may not include sources that are cited (or are
obvious, such as baptismal records, etc.) within the narrative or listing itself.
As with any compiled genealogical record, researchers should regard this information as leads and clues, and should verify all
data with independent research.
I welcome, and would be grateful for, any additions or corrections, especially with source citations.

In their Kingston Ref Ch record of their marrage banns, they were Humphry Davenport, j.m., born in the Barbados, and
Anna Rosencrans, j.d., born in the Esopus, both resid. in Kingston.
Humphrey Davenport, from Devonshire, England, his wife, and three sons, settled at New Foundland, Morris County, NJ
about 1720. He was a surveyor. He was for many years County Clerk of Ulster Co., NY.
Humphrey Davenport, came from Kingston on the Hudson River to Morris Co., NJ, and bought through Thomas Stevenson
from the proprietors of West Jersey a tract of 750 acres of land; the allowance made in those days of ten acres to the hundred
for roads would really make this tract contain 825 acres. The deed bears date October 2nd 1714, and the survey as stated was
made by virtue of a warrant in favor of Thomas Stevenson, approved by the council of proprietors in 1712. This tract commenced at a white oak tree standing on the east bank of the Rockaway River about where the southeast corner of Zabriskie's
grist-mill now stands, and ran in a straight course easterly 382 perches, to or near the top of the mountain; then southerly 300
perches, and thence westerly 444 perches, to the Rockaway River, and thence up the same to the place of beginning.
Humphrey Davenport built on this tract. When Humphrey Davenport bought his tract Joseph Kirkbride and Richard Bull
owned land just north and northwesterly of it. Immediately north of the "Davenport tract," and partly bounded by the river on
the south, Richard Bull and Uriah Roe in 1715 took up a tract of 650 acres, extending north nearly to the village of Upper
Montville.
In her will dated 17 Jan 1726, probated 21 Oct 1726 Ulster Co., NY, Sarah Rosenkrans mentioned, among others, her sister
Johana Davenport and Johana’s son, John; Helena Davenport.1
