I am interested in Joshua B. Davenport. A friend gave me a letter written to Joshua B. Davenport in 1864 concerning some slaves that were being boarded by a Farley Ellis in Salisbury, NC. It is a very interesting letter because it details how much it was costing Ellis to board the slaves. The letter was written by a friend of Davenport. I was wondering if any of your papers would have information pertaining to Ellis or any friends of Davenport in the Salisbury area.
