Note: This is just one of
1,164
family groupings listed on
The Political Graveyard web site.
These families each have three or more politician members,
all linked together by blood, marriage or adoption.
This specific family group is a subset of the
much larger Four Thousand
Related Politicians group. An individual may be listed
with more than one subset.
These groupings — even the names of the groupings,
and the areas of main activity — are the
result of a computer algorithm working with the data I have,
not the choices of any historian or genealogist.

Abraham Davenport (1715-1789) —
of Stamford, Fairfield
County, Conn.
Born in Stamford, Fairfield
County, Conn., June 6,
1715.
Lawyer;
member of Connecticut
council of assistants, 1776-83.
Famed for his decisive response during the "Dark Day," May 19, 1780,
when all-day darkness in New England led many to think that the end
of the world was at hand. In the state council meeting in Hartford,
he said, "I am against adjournment. The day of judgment is either
approaching, or it is not. If it is not, there is no cause for an
adjournment; if it is, I choose to be found doing my duty. I wish
therefore that candles may be brought." John
Greenleaf Whittier wrote a poem about this incident in 1866; John
F. Kennedy referenced Davenport's actions in speeches during the
1960 presidential campaign.
Died in Danbury, Fairfield
County, Conn., November
20, 1789 (age 74 years, 167
days).
Interment at Northfield Cemetery, Stamford, Conn.
