    "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

    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 
    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.4 
    Death19 Aug 1859 William Davenport died on 19 Aug 1859 at Caldwell County, NC, at age 88.1
