    Birth14 Apr 1829 Jane Sophia Davenport, daughter of David Davenport and Dorothy Baker, was born on 14 Apr 1829 at NC.1,2 
    1830 Census1830 Based on age and gender, Jane Sophia Davenport was probably included as a free white female, under age 5, in the household of her father, David Davenport, on the 1830 Census of Burke County, NC.3 
    1840 Census1840 Based on age and gender, Jane Sophia Davenport was probably included as a free white female, age 10-15, in the household of her father, David Davenport, on the 1840 Census of Cherokee County, NC.4

    Marriage Jane Sophia Davenport married Henry M. Rabun. It is not at all certain that the Jane who appears as the wife of Henry Rabun on the 1860 census is Jane Sophia Davenport. However, the fact that Jane Rabun was born in Burke County and that there is no other Jane in Shooting Creek suggests at least grounds for further research. So too does the fact that this same Jane Rabun appears on the 1870 census immediately after David and Dorothy Baker Davenport.5
