Martin Davenport
M, b. circa 1739, d. 1815
| Birth | c 1739 | Martin Davenport, son of Thomas Davenport and Dorothy [--M?--] Davenport, was born c 1739 at Hanover County, VA. |
| Marriage | c 1767 | Martin Davenport married Hannah [Baker?] Davenport c 1767 at Culpeper County, VA.1,2 |
| Marriage | c 1779 | Martin Davenport married Jane Browning c 1779 at prob Wilkes County, NC. |
| Note | c 1780 | According to the Pamunkey Davenports:
"... Colonel William Davenport, son of Martin Davenport of Thomas (of Martin, Sr.), ... was badly abused as a 10-year-old boy by marauding Tories (Americans actively loyal to the King) in 1780 during the Revolutionary War. Coming upon the Martin Davenport's mountain homestead while Martin was away, Tories seeking to capture him took out their frustration on young William, his son.
According to Professor Lyman C. Draper, the noted Frontier historian, in his authoritative Kings Mountain and Its Heroes (1881), William's beating was one of the incidents that so enraged the Over-the-Mountain Men, who had spent five years in constant warfare with the Cherokees and Shawnees sent by the British to attack the Frontier Settlements, that they gathered together and marched southeast over the mountains to totally defeat and capture the British and their Tory adherents at Kings Mountain (8Oct1780). The year had been a desperate one for the Cause of Independence. The Continental Congress had lost most of its Southern Army at the Surrender of Charleston (19May1780), then had lost most of what was left -- as well as bottom-of-the-barrel replacements scraped from the North -- at Gates' disgraceful Defeat at Camden (16Aug1780). The Kings Mountain victory restored flagging Patriot spirits and marked a turning point in the Revolution. William's father Martin Davenport was one of those Patriots who distinguished himself at Kings Mountain, and in its aftermath is credited for assuring that those Tories who had mistreated his son were properly punished. At a quickly convened drumhead court martial, the culprits were convicted -- and summarily hung."2 |
