Note: This is just one of 1,325 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.
