Notes:

12 years old in 1900 Census.

Another source states his name is Raleigh Monroe Davenport. This source also states Raleigh was a son of Belle Alleica Baker and Rodolphus Henry Davenport. From his age this is very possible. In 1900 Census Mary was 27, Righley was 12. If Mary was his mother she would have been only 15 when he was born. [Source: Whitley Davenport, CA]
