George - obituary

From The Oregonian, March 4, 1934:

"50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED HERE

Mr. and Mrs. George Davenport Honored at Reception.

In celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary Mr. and Mrs. George Davenport of Florence, Ore., were honored with a reception Friday at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Carl Southworth, at 1694 Southwest Montgomery drive, here.

Mr. and Mrs. Davenport were married at Arcadia, Kan., on March 2, 1884. On the same day they left for what was then Spokane Falls, Washington territory, where they settled on a homestead and lived for 13 years. When irrigation was developed in western farming, Mr. Davenport improved land consecutively in Clarkston, Wash., the Yakima valley and at Twin Falls, Idaho. In 1916 they moved to Oregon and settled near Eugene, where Mr. Davenport worked in the Booth-Kelly lumber mill at Springfield. Four years ago they moved to Florence, on the coast in Lane county, and there they are at home to their many friends who visit the beach.

The Davenports have a son, Herbert E., in Long Beach, Cal., and a grandson, Lawrence, there. They were unable to attend the golden wedding celebration. Another grandson, John Southworth, lives here.

Mr. Davenport was born near Bowling Green, Ky., on August 23, 1859. Mrs. Davenport, nee Clara Hammond, was born near Springfield, Ill., on July 5, 1861."

Arthur Allen 1607-1669 Alice Tucker 1613

The pictures are from an old magazine.  It may have been Architectural Digest or Life Magazine (the page was large), The picture and paragraph explaining the architecture was on page 36 along with other famous houses.

From Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon's_Rebellion

Bacon's Castle, also known as "Allen's Brick House" or the "Arthur Allen House" is located in Surry County, Virginia, USA.

Soon after Surry County was formed in the Royal Colony of Virginia in 1652, Arthur Allen built a Jacobean brick house in 1665 near the James River, where he and his wife Alice (née Tucker) lived. He was a wealthy merchant and a Justice of the Peace in Surry County. Allen died in 1669, but his son, Major Arthur Allen II, inherited the house and property.

The Allen family's brick home became known as "Bacon's Castle" because it was occupied by the followers of Nathaniel Bacon during Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. The name "Bacon's Castle" was not used until many years after Bacon's Rebellion.

The following from online: museumintern.blogspot.com

... It was noted in his diaries that when he returned to live back at his home, after Bacon's rebels took it over, the largest amount of damage was in the cellar and that no wine was left drinkable. Archeologists from AVPA have found wine bottles broken in fireplaces and areas around the backyard where bonfires took place.

(Colonel) Arthur Allen

Parents:  John Allen and Unknown mother
Born: 1608 Worcester, England
Christened 23 Oct 1608 St. Andrew, Droitwich, Worcester, England
Note:  Name is spelled Arthure in record
Occupation: Merchant (also listed as a Merchant in Bristol, England), Justice of the Peace, Planter (tobacco)
Excerpt from Encyclopedia Virginia (link in sources section below for full article):

Arthur Allen became an agent for tobacco merchants in Bristol, England, and arrived in Virginia during the 1640's (note:  other sources claim 1630's). He amassed one of the largest plantations in Surry County by the 1660's. 

He probably arrived in Virginia during the 1640's as an agent for tobacco merchants trading out of Bristol, in which capacity he made at least one return trip to Bristol.  he also dealt with several leading London merchants.  Among them Micajah Perry, Phillip Perry, and Thomas Lane.  by 1649, Allen had settled between Lawnes Creek and Chippokes Creek in the southern part of James City County.  When that area became Surry County in 1652, Allen was appointed to the court, and by 1661 he was a member of the quorum.  he also served on the vestry of Lawnes Creek Parish.

Arthur Allen may have married twice, not once in 1650 as stated in early histories of Surry County and Bacon's Castle; and he probably had at least 7 children, not the two or three who are mentioned in some accounts of the family.  His first son, Humphrey Allen, was probably born in England early in the 1630's and died in Virginia in 1666.  Note the wording of this paragraph:  He MAY have married twice and PROBABLY had about 7 children and that Humphrey was PROBABLY born in England.  

Arthur inherited Allen's Brick House (pictured above), carried on the family name, and had a long and varied political career.  Allen's FOUR daughters all married well, with the result that some of the areas most notable persons were descended from him.

Mary Long, the wife of Arthur Long, who commanded the company of Bacon's men who occupied Allen's Brick House, was probably yet another of Arthur Allen's daughters. 

Allen died after May 15 1669 (he sat with the county court on that date and by June when the tax lst was compiled, his widow, Alice, was charged with the eleven tithables resident at Allen's plantation. 

Married 1) unknown in England (according to the above source, which has no verification)
2) Alice Tucker abt 1630 possibly in Virginia, but she was 'imported' in 1649 with four others, so likely England)
Died:  Abt June 1669 Virginia

CHILDREN

Please note:  
These children were not born at Bacon's Castle which was built in 1665. 
Their birth year and order is also debatable. 
If the parents were married when Arthur was 18, the first child could have been born in 1626.  If that is the case, a few may have been born in England since according to the source ( jliptrap.us/gen/aallen.htm) Arthur did not arrive in America until 1630's.  He "imported" four people, including Alice, his wife, in 1649/50, so it could be that some of these children were born in England (the source did not list who the four people were).

In the last-named session he was speaker of the assembly. He married Katherine, daughter and heiress of Cap. Laurence Baker, of Surry. On July 3, 1677, Mr. Arthur Allen sued Mr. Robert Burgess for that "during the most Horrid Rebellion (Bacon's rebellion) he with others did seize and keep garrison in the pit's house neare fower months." This ancient brick mansion is still standing, one of the oldest houses in Virginia, and is known as "Bacon's Castle" (1914). Maj. Allen's will was proved in Surry court, Sept. 5, 1710.
