George Edward Davenport (1833-1907) was a businessman and botanist from Boston who chiefly studied ferns. He was a member of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, New England Botanical Club, and Torrey Botanical Club, and a founding member of The Middlesex Scientific Field Club. He published articles on ferns, forestry, and horticulture in many botanical journals. Davenport was also active in promoting the conservation of the Middlesex Fells, was a long-time member of the Medford School Committee, was involved in the anti-slavery movement, and was interested in labor reform. Davenport was married to Mary Francis and they had ten children, eight of whom survived him. They moved from South Boston to Medford in 1875, and he died in 1907 while taking a walk in the Middlesex Fells.
