The original Davenport line began in England. Over the centuries, as the number of descendants grew, the various Davenport families spread throughout Cheshire and the surrounding areas. In some cases a direct Davenport line can be traced in one location for hundreds of years. The table below lists some of those lines. There are more. Today, descendants of these early Davenports are scattered around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, and China.
The first table illustrates how the various Davenport Manors are linked. The last individual in a row is the first to use the "Manor name". For example - Arthur married Katherine Calveley and the Davenport family took over ownership of Calveley Manor.
