    Birth12 Oct 1770 William Davenport, son of Martin Davenport and Hannah [Baker?] Davenport, was born on 12 Oct 1770 at Culpeper County, VA.1 
    Notec 1780  According to the "http://www.pamunkeydavenport.com">Pamunkey Davenports: 'In North Carolina, Davenport Gap in the Great Smoky Mountains on the North Carolina-Tennessee border was named in honor of Colonel William Davenport, son of Martin Davenport of Thomas (of Martin, Sr.), who led the survey crew that established the State boundary in 1821. Colonel Davenport, for many years the highly respected Clerk of Courts of Wilkes County, 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 eldest 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' 
    Note1796  In 1796, at Morganton, Burke County NC, William Davenport became a Justice of the Peace and judge of the Burke County Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions.3 
    Note6 Aug 1796  William Davenport and other Justices of the Peace conducted an examination of a pregnant single woman, Elizabeth Burchfield, and on her word issued an order directing that Henry Canley be brought before the Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions "to be dealt with as the law directs" as the father.4 
    NoteMar 1797  David Baker and William Davenport were summoned as jurors for the September term of the Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions.4 
    Note1798  In 1798, 1799 and 1800, William Davenport served as a representative from Burke County to the North Carolina Legislature. In 1802, he served as State Senator from Burke County.5 
    NoteMar 1799  William Davenport was listed as a venireman (a juror) for the March 1799 term of court.4 
    Note2 Jan 1801  William Davenport and other Justices of the Peace issued an order directing that John McClancey be brought before the Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions to answer the claim of Hannah Hopper that he had fathered her bastard child.4

    Dorothy [Glover?] Davenport

    F, b. circa 1685

    Birthc 1685 Dorothy [Glover?] Davenport was born c 1685. According to the Pamunkey Davenports:

    "There are several Martin Davenport, Sr., genealogies circulating which identify his wife as Dorothy Harrelson, which is surely based on the facts that Paul Harrelson [Jr.] was a neighbor to Martin in Hanover, witnessed Martin's will, and was bondsman for Dorothy as executrix of the Estate. The Harrelson association with the Davenports was limited to those three events, all within a few months in 1735. The Harrelsons came to the Hanover neighborhood from a different direction and departed sooner and in a different direction than the Davenports. Two Harrelson wills were recorded in Hanover just prior to Martin's -- one of Paul Harrelson, Sr., and one for Harrelson, Sr.'s eldest son Peter. Both were detailed in identifying heirs, mentioned no Dorothy, no Davenports, and no one closely associated with the Davenports, and included no Davenport witnesses. There were no Davenports associated with the Harrelsons in their migration from Virginia or in their settlements in the Carolinas. Nor were there any Harrelsons associated with the Davenports in their migrations."1 
    Marriageb 1716 She married Martin Davenport Sr., son of Davis Davenport and wife of Davis Davenport, b 1716 at prob King William County, VA. Dorothy was likely a second wife and mother of only some of Martin's children. She may have been a Glover, and possibly a daughter of William and Mary Glover of King William County.1,2
