NAMESAKES

Davenport is my mother's maiden name.

Cousin Carl (William Carl) is the remaining bearer of the surname Davenport. He also bears the middle name of his grandfather, Robert William Davenport, as his first name.
Mother named her youngest child (Robert Davenport Adams) for her dad, Robert William Davenport. 

ROBERT DAVENPORT ADAMS---polite even when he was too weak to lift his arms after his recent quadruple bypass.

Two of her grandchildren included their "Gigi's" nee in the name of their sons, her great grandsons, Caleb Davenport Liles and Owen Davenport Kennedy. What a tribute! I'm sure she would have been honored to have two namesakes. Mother died in 2001 and never knew any of her great grandsons.

CALEB DAVENPORT LILES--turns 13 today and is entering  young adulthood wearing the  Davenport name proudly

OWEN DAVENPORT KENNEDY--carrying the name into the Kennedy family with grace

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. (Proverbs 22:1, KJV)
