Time: 23:19:55

Note: Last found in Virginia in Prince Edward County in Census of 1810, aged 45-and-Older. Alleged to have moved to Georgia. Heretofore has been seriously confused with Glover Davenport, son of Martin Sr. because his father David had land in Amherst County in the 1760s -- which he devised to his son Glover, and Glover, Son of Martin Sr. also had land in Amherst County in the 1760s. If identifications are correct, Glover of David was a nephew of Glover of Martin, Sr..] Issue unknown. [The Census of 1810 suggests two sons, four daughters.

Time: 23:42:51

Note: First found in Louisa County in 1768 with Jack Smith Davenport (A8b) and Henry Gambill (A1h, wife Charlotte Jouett), all assessed as tithables on same tract of land. Last found in Spotsylvania County Court records in 1787 when he sued James Davenport (A6c) in a chancery action that was ordered "Discontinued", no reason given. This could not have been Jouett, son of James, Jr., for that lad was born in 1786. Harbert Davenport made no mention of this Jouett Davenport in his 1930s' comprehensive identification of the Davenports of James and Frances. It is unlikely that Jouett belonged elsewhere.

Note: A James Davenport appeared briefly in Bertie County records before 1791. He possibly moved before the Census of 1790, which was taken in North Carolina in the first six months of 1791.) Issue unknown.

Joseph and James may have been of Albemarle Davenport lineage. By 1790, there were so many of those Davenports, centered in Tyrrell County on the south side of Albemarle Sound by the last decade of the Eighteenth Century, that several easily might have located in Bertie County at the west end of the Sound. (No analytical research has been done on these men.)

Time: 08:37:35

Note: A Joseph Davenport was enumerated in Bertie County, NC, in the Census of 1790, who could have been a son or grandson of Elias. Prior to 1791 there are a number of Joseph Davenport mentions in Bertie Records, but none thereafter. Issue unknown.

Time: 08:36:34

Note: First found cited in Bertie deed in 1765 as a patent holder near the Hertford-Bertie County line. [All early Hertford records were lost in a courthouse fire.] Last found in 1783 when he sold all of his land in Nash County and apparently moved. Not located in either North or South Carolina in the Censuses of 1790 or 1800 (Georgia enumerations for both years were destroyed by British in 1814 when they burned Washington City). Issue unknown.

Although they moved in concert and settled relatively close to each other, Dorrel and John Davenport did not witness each others deeds nor apparently travel in the same social circle. Dorrel appeared routinely in Edgecombe-Nash records -- when he was called as a petit juror, assigned road work, or appointed to appraise an estate. John, on the other hand, was a petit juror, a grand juror, a superior court juror, was called upon to appraise estates, and frequently served as a bondsman. His stature grew rapidly with the growth of the Revolution. He became a Militia Captain, a Magistrate, a Tax Assessor, and ultimately the Collector of Army Supplies for Nash County. He was surely a political power in Nash when he elected to sell out and move elsewhere -- which suggests Georgia which in 1783 offered great opportunities for politicians and land speculators.

Note: Appears with Elias in Bertie County, NC, records in 1760s. Then appears with John in Edgecombe County, NC, and finally in Nash County, NC. The latter was not a move -- the western half of Edgecombe was set off as Nash County in 1777. Children (As named in Dorrel's will
