Biography

Charles E. Davenport was born January 11, 1826, in Burke county, North Carolina, a son of David M. Davenport (1795-1877) and Dorothy Ann Baker Davenport (1799-1885). In abt. 1842, he married Elizabeth E. "Betsy" Hughes (1820-1870), the sister of his older brother, Martin Winn Davenport's wife, "Polly". They had four children: John (1842), Melissa (1846), Joe Cyril Patton "Pat" (1849) and James A. Davenport (1856). Charles and his younger brother, Sidney (1842-1864) were Privates in the North Carolina 62nd Regiment, Company B. They both were taken as prisoners of war and died at Camp Douglas in Chicago. Source: "Register of Confederate Soldiers Who Died in Camp Douglas 1862-1865 and Lie Buried in Oak Woods Cemetery, Chicago, ILLS, 1892". [1]

Charles died October 10, 1864, at the age of 38 years, in Chicago, Illinois and is buried in the Oak Woods Cemetery. Some of the children of Elizabeth "Betsy" (Hughes) Davenport are buried in the Burch Cemetery, in Hiawassee, Towns County, Georgia. According to her Find A Grave memorial, she and Charles were the parents of eight children. She died after Charles, but apparently before 1870, when her two youngest children were living with her parents in Shooting Creek, Clay county, North Carolina, and two more were living with her sister, Sarah A. (Hughes) Fore. [2]
