Judy Bates....

The marriage listed in the Index of Washington Co.,MD 1799-1860 shows;
#635. DAVENPORT (DEVENPORT)
Wm. /Na. Catlett 11/24/1808
Benj./ Eliz. Cramer 11/9/1826

These surnames are hard to find in the Washington Co.,MD area.
Frederick Co.,MD
and can't find any burials for them.
Few of the Davenport are listed in the marriages of Berkeley Co.,VA
1781-1854.

FWIW: The John FILSON listed in the Berkeley Co.,VA Marriages
1781-1854 was
listed m. Jemima Butt, (Bond 22 May.. 2b -6) Marriage 21 May 1799 cr
34 mr 16*

Wish you luck in your quest.
