TOMPKINS COUNTY GRAVESTONE INSCRIPTIONS.

Contributed by Mrs. Dora Pope Worden, Corresponding Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.

INTRODUCTION The compiling of the following records, which for the most

part were gathered in the summer months during the past five years, has been for m e a most pleasant and interesting task. Accompanied by some friend, I drove leisurely through this beautiful region. M a n y were the interesting and curious tales concerning the early settlers of the County which were related to us. Would that space was here permitted to perpetuate these tales!

Here I would like to express m y gratitude to those without whose help these records could not have been secured, viz:—my husband, Mrs. Delia Bishop and Mrs. Cora Knettles. Together w e have visited 75 cemeteries and copied about 5,000 inscriptions. In most instances w e secured only those records which were made prior to 1850; but in some cases where the cemetery was small, the inscrip­tions from all of the gravestones were copied. The inscriptions in every case, were copied exactly as they appeared on the stones. In copying these inscriptions I was more or less particular about copy­ing them in the regular order of their sequential location; but as I was assisted at different times by different individuals, it is possible that this rule was not always followed.

T h e importance of this work, which is obvious to a genealogist, was greatly impressed upon me, when only recently I learned that two of the smaller family burying grounds here recorded had been ploughed up within the year. The gathering of such early death statistics, which can be found in no place other than the cemeteries, is a work which should be taken up in each and every county, where the work has not already been done; and such records, which are n o w so precious, and which will in time become more so, be pre­served for the benefit of posterity.

The key map, which appears in this number of the Record, gives the location of the graveyards in the southern towns of the county, which are numbered as follows:— Town of Caroline, i, Dutch Reformed. 2, Roe. 3, Yates.

H E N R Y BENEDICT DAVENPORT.

Contributed by Henry Snyder Kissam.

Henry Benedict Davenport was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., June 1, 1854, the eldest son of Amzi Benedict and Jane Joralemon (Dimon) Davenport. He died suddenly in Brooklyn, of a vascular trouble, February 16th, 1920. He was a descendant in the eighth generation of Rev. John Davenport, one of the founders and the first minister of the New Haven colony, whose ancestry has been traced back to Ormus de Davenport, born in Chester, England in 1086. From the Rev. John, the line of male descent goes through five Johns to Wil­liam (of New Canaan, Conn.), who married Abigail Benedict of Norwalk—the paternal grandparents of the subject of this sketch.

Mr. Davenport's father came to Brooklyn in 1836, and was first a teacher there and then engaged in real estate business. As his sec­ond wife he married Jane Joralemon, the daughter of John Dimon, of East Hampton, Long Island, and Brooklyn, a builder who con­structed many of the fine residences still in use on Brooklyn Heights and who was a founder of the Nassau National Bank of Brooklyn. His consort was Margaret, daughter of Judge Teunis Joralemon, a scion of the New Jersey branch of that family, owner of a farm on Brooklyn Heights and a leading citizen and office holder of the
