    Note  Richard's name appears in some accounts, particularly those relying on Elma Baker's The Rugged Trail as "Ruben" or "Rubin" or "Reuben." This is clearly incorrect. David Baker's pension application, in which he names the brother who died at the Battle of Trenton, quite clearly identifies that brother as Richard. The handwriting may be misunderstood by those unfamiliar with early script; however, the last letter is without question a "D". 
    Birth23 Dec 1753 Richard Baker, son of Thomas Baker and Dorothy Davenport, was born on 23 Dec 1753 at Culpeper County, VA.1 
    Death26 Dec 1776 Richard Baker died on 26 Dec 1776 at Trenton, Hunterdon (now Mercer) County, NJ, at age 23. According to the pension application of his brother, David Baker, Richard was killed at the Battle of Trenton. David stated in his pension application: “I had a brother by the name of Richard killed in that action.” Richard Baker was just three days past his 23rd birthday. Particularly tragic is the fact that few if any American soldiers died due to enemy fire in the engagement. According to David McCullough in his masterful 1776 (Simon & Schuster, 2005), no American troops died in the fighting, but two froze to death in the terrible winter conditions. If true, then Richard Baker was one of those two. But other sources do not accept the no-battle-casualties conclusion. In Rebels & Redcoats by George F. Scheer and Hugh F. Rankin (Da Capo Press, copyright 1957, paperback reprint), the authors quote a relatively contemporaneous account attributed to an aide to General George Washington, probably Col. John Fitzgerald, as stating that there were “two killed and three wounded” and the wounded included Captain William Washington and Lieutenant James Monroe – both assigned to the 3rd Virginia Regiment, the regiment in which David Baker did serve and in which Richard Baker most likely served (there are no extant records to establish for certain Richard’s regiment). David Hackett Fischer, author of Washington’s Crossing (Oxford University Press, 2004), cites a similar count by Washington aide Tench Tilghman and contends that the bulk of the evidence supports a finding that two privates were killed in action and another four or five died of illness or exposure. If these other sources are correct, then David Baker’s choice of the word “killed” to describe his brother’s death (as opposed to a more passive word such as “died”) would suggest that Richard was one of those killed in action.1

    Davis Davenport

    M, b. circa 1660, d. before 1735

    Noteb 1660  According to John Scott Davenport of the Pamunkey Davenports website: 'The major problem relative to identification of Pamunkey Davenport ancestry before Davis Davenport today lies in the family having emerged from a Seventeenth Century record limbo of an Indian reservation into a Twentieth Century Virginia records void. The [... early] records of New Kent, King & Queen, King William, Caroline, and Hanover counties, crucial to Pamunkey Davenport identification, have largely been destroyed by courthouse fires of one sort or another. ... Yet we know, by Virginia Patent records, that there was a Davenport presence (female) in the Pamunkey Neck as early as 1650, ... that as soon as the Neck ceased to be Indian in 1701 and King William County was created, there was a Davenport Path of some antiquity noted in several surveys, and that Davis and his son Martin were listed as small acreage freeholders (land owners) there in 1704. ... [T]he evidence is that Davis Davenport and his son Martin, whose presence in the Neck are proven, were of the pioneer yeomanry, who achieved by their own labor, and not of the Cavalier, great planter aristocracy who had indentured servants and slaves to do their work.1' 
    Birthc 1660 Davis Davenport was born c 1660. According to John Scott Davenport's Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles (see website: '[T]he two Davenports appearing by Time and Place in Virginia records most likely to have been Davis' immigrant parent were apparently single women, namely Hannah, transportee of 1650, or Anne, transportee of 1658. ... As uncomfortable as the thought might be -- although the America of the Twenty-First Century is more amenable in its judgmental morality to accepting such a possibility -- the Pamunkey Davenports may descend from a female immigrant ancestor, whose son became the patriarch of a family bearing the Davenport surname although his father may have had the surname of Davis. ... The possibility that Davis Davenport was the bastard child of either Hannah Davenport or Anne Davenport, given the lack of a male parental candidate, is real. If Martin was age 21 in 1704 (his appearance on a Quit Rent List was prima facie evidence that he was an adult), he was born 1683 or before. If Davis is accorded the same minimum of 21 years of age (25 years is accepted in formal genealogical estimates) before fathering Martin, then Davis himself was born c1662 or before. This scenario would fit Anne of 1758 comfortably. Assume older ages for both Davis and Martin, and the scenario would fit Hannah comfortably. The problem with both of the most viable male candidates for the honor of having been Davis' father is that each appears in the records uncomfortably late for either of the Davis-Martin age scenarios of John Davenport in 1668, Richard in 1677. Labored rationalization is required to force a fit for either. ...[T]he practice of giving bastard sons their fathers' surnames as given names also existed -- particularly where the father acknowledged the child. Hence, Davis Davenport, if born out of wedlock, may well have had a Davis father (there were a number of Davis possibilities early in or near the Neck in proximity to Hannah and Anne). ... We would note that Graves Family descendants claim Anne Davenport, born c1696, and who married Thomas Graves, as their matriarch, and believe and claim that Anne was a daughter of Davis Davenport. (Thomas Graves and his wife Anne play major roles in the Pamunkey Davenport chronology that follows.). Then too, Anne Davenport, transportee of 1758, was associated with land no more than four miles from where Davis Davenport first appeared in Virginia records thirty-eight years later (1696). The Bar Sinister scenario is speculative, but must be advanced as one hypothesis of Pamunkey Davenport origin.1' 
    Marriageb 1682 He married wife of Davis Davenport b 1682 at VA. Most likely at Pamunkey Neck in King William County. 
    Note29 May 1696  According to 'The Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles,' 'James Taylor, surveyor of King & Queen County, made a survey of 939 acres for Major John Waller and an adjoining 100 acres for Thomas Baker, which identified Davis Davenport’s Plantation and Landing on the Mattaponi River.' Note that this Thomas Baker is not the same Thomas Baker who fathered David Baker but the possibility of some connection is very strong.1 
    Notec 30 Mar 1704  Davis Davenport was listed on the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls for King William County VA, assessed for 200 acres.1 
    Deathb 1735 Davis Davenport died b 1735 at VA. The exact date of Davis Davenport's death is unknown. The last known reference to him was in a will by his son Martin in 1735.

    William Wiseman

    M, b. 2 February 1736, d. before March 1823

    Birth2 Feb 1736 William Wiseman was born on 2 Feb 1736 at St. James' Clerkenwell Parish, London, England. According to the English Heritage website (here), the area of William Wiseman's birth was: 'the historic centre of the old parish of St James, including the districts around Clerkenwell Green, Clerkenwell Close and St John's Square. 'Clerkenwell's origins lie in the Middle Ages. The name derives from a well (still visible on Farringdon Lane) where mystery plays were performed by the London parish clerks. Clerkenwell's position on the outskirts of the City, and its natural supply of fresh water, also made it a convenient location for two great monastic houses founded in the mid-12th century: the Nunnery of St Mary, and the Priory of the Order of St John. With the exception of two notable monuments - St John's Church and St John's Gate - little monastic fabric survives, but both foundations have left their mark on the present street-pattern. 'After the Dissolution, Clerkenwell evolved into a fashionable suburb, with many aristocratic residents, but by the 18th century most of the old fabric had been rebuilt and the area colonized by merchants and tradesmen. Some good Georgian houses in Britton Street and St John's Square survive from this period. Clerkenwell also became an important centre for civic administration and justice, home to the County of Middlesex's Sessions House and two large county prisons.1' 
    Emigrationc 1750 He emigrated c 1750. According to Wiseman descendant and researcher Thomas C. Chapman, William Wiseman came to America as a young teenager in the 1750's. There is a family story -- undocumented in any way -- that he came to America as a stowaway and was sold as an indentured servant to pay for his passage. After working for a cabinetmaker he earned his freedom. There is some support for the notion that he was a cabinetmaker. In the 1956 book 'The Story of Caldwell County NC - Here Will I Dwell,' Nancy Alexander wrote that he was 'one of the earliest and most skilled cabinet makers of this county. William made the legs of his furniture with a claw, clutching a ball that would roll.2' 
    Marriagec 1761 He married Mary Davenport, daughter of Thomas Davenport and Dorothy [--M?--] Davenport, c 1761.3,4 
    1790 Census1790 William Wiseman was listed as head of a household on the 1790 Census of Burke County, NC. Based on age and gender, his household could have included his wife Mary Davenport, his sons William, Davenport and Martin (males age 16 or older), his sons James, John and Robert (males under 16 years old) and his daughters Dorothy, Mary, Celestial and Susannah. Another boy under the age of 16 was enumerated with the family; his identity is unknown. Enumerated on the same census page in the 10th Company were Thomas Wiseman (directly beneath his father) and Martin Davenport.5 
    Marriageb 1799 William Wiseman married Lydia Bedford b 1799 at prob Burke County, NC.6 
    1810 Census1810 William Wiseman was listed as head of a household on the 1810 Census of Morganton, Burke County, NC. Based on age and gender, his household could have included his wife Lydia Bedford, his sons Josiah and Alexander (males under age 10), his son Bedford (male age 10-15), his daughters Elizabeth and Jemima or Jennie Mae (females under age 10).7 
    Deathb Mar 1823 William Wiseman died b Mar 1823 at NC. According to Wiseman descendant and researcher Thomas C. Chapman, William Wiseman is buried near his home at Sunny Brook Farm on the Toe River, near the present Mitchell-Avery (N.C.) county line. Although his gravestone gives his date of death as 1830, he probably passed away in the winter of 1822-1823. His widow, his second wife Lydia, filed estate papers for his estate in March 1823 in Morganton.8

    "Died on the 10th. of December, 1809 at the home of Martin Davenport, Burke County, Mr. Thomas Davenport, in the 98th. year of his age. Mr. Davenport was remarkable for a cheerful disposition and for benevolence of heart; it is said he never was involved in a law suit but once and then by being security for a debt. He was sued and compelled to pay the money.

    In the latter part of his life he appeared to enjoy the comforts of religion in a high degree. He raised six daughters and one son. His eldest daughter, Sophia, the wife of William White, Esq. of Mulberyy in the County of Burke, hath at this time upward of 100 of her posterity and it has been ascertained that from Thomas Davenport, counting him as first, there are more than 40 of his posterity now living in the fifth generation.

    Thomas Davenport's five youngest children each raised large families, and it is computed that the posterity of those now living amounts to more than 300."1,3
