Marriage* Principal=Sarah (?)4 
Probate*2 September 1773 Amelia, VA, Last Will & Testament: George Davenport of Amelia County, made this date; probated; daughter Anne; daughter Sarah; son Samuel; wife Sarah... Executors: Samuel Sherwin, w? Named son John, a minor, reversion to son George Davenport if John dies before attaining majority; son Abraham, a minor, reversion to son William Davenport if Abraham dies before attaining majority; son William; son George, a minor; daughter Susannah Featherstone; daughter Mary ife Sarah Davenport... /s/ George "X@ Davenport. Wit: John Ellett, John Keattes, Charles Winfree. (Amelia County, VA, Wills 2:104)4 
Event-Misc19 October 1743 Raleigh Parish, Amelia, VA, DEED: Richard Fletcher, of Prince George County, to Reuben Baird, of Amelia County, for £5, 271 acres in Raleigh Parish, Amelia County, on Woody Creek of Deep Creek, adjoining Heath's and Gray=s corner, John West, and John May... /s/ Richard Fletcher. Wit: George Davenport, Rork Baird, James Fletcher. (Amelia County, VA, Deeds 1:506)

     Witness George Davenport was the son of George, Decd. Witness Rork Baird would subsequently sell George [Jr.] the plantation in Amelia County where he (George) would die in 1772.

Event-Misc19 July 1745 Amelia, VA, DEED: Richard Fletcher, of Prince George County, to Reuben Baird, of Amelia County, for £5, 271 acres in Raleigh Parish, Amelia County, on Woody Creek of Deep Creek, adjoining Heath's and Gray=s corner, John West, and John May... /s/ Richard Fletcher. Wit: George Davenport, Rork Baird, James Fletcher. (Amelia County, VA, Deeds 1:506)

     Witness George Davenport was the son of George, Decd. Witness Rork Baird would subsequently sell George [Jr.] the plantation in Amelia County where he (George) would die in 1772.
 
Occupation*25 June 1749 Amelia, VA, a carpenter5 
Event-Misc25 June 1749 Amelia, VA, DEED: George Davenport, carpenter, to John White, joiner, both of Amelia County, for £45/10, 400 acres on both sides of Horsepen Creek in the Fork of Nottoway River, adjoining Richard Nance, Ellis, Mumford, Laughlan Flynn... /s/ George Davenport. Wit: Thomas Heath, James Williams, and Thomas AX@ Flynn. (Amelia County, VA, Deeds 3:266)5 
Event-Misc18 August 1749 Amelia, VA, DEED: Rork Baird, wife Elizabeth, of Prince George County, to George Davenport, of Amelia County, for £45, 230 acres and plantation and orchard on Deep Creek in Nottway Parish, Amelia County, adjoining James Wortham, the Indian branch, Joseph Gray, and George Tucker... /s/ Rork Baird, Elizabeth Baird. Wit: Adam Heath, James Fletcher, Thomas Davenport, Richard Hobbs. (Amelia County, VA, Deeds 3:327)

     Witness Thomas Davenport was most likely George's eldest brother, heir-at-law and administrator of the Estate of George Davenport, late of Prince George County, Decd. The only other Davenports in nearby counties were Pamunkeys, and they did not use the given name George until the 1790s. Witnesses Adam Heath and Thomas Heath (previous item) were possibly related to William Heath, who had been one of the appraisers of the Estate of George Davenport, late of Prince George County, Decd., in1739. Certainly the frequency of the Davenport-Heath interface over decades reflected some degree of in-law relationship.

Event-Misc28 March 1765 Amelia, VA, PROBATE: Estate of Robert Tucker, late of Amelia County, Decd. Inventory and appraisal returned by Nathan Fletcher, George Davenport, and David Cordle. Estate valued at £104/0/1, including one slave. (Amelia County, VA, Wills 2X:90)2 
Event-Misc*23 November 1766 Amelia, VA, appraiser of the estate of Henry Hudson.1 
Event-Misc27 April 1782 Amelia, VA, WAR CLAIMS: "Claims against the Public on Account of Horses and Other Property Impressed or Taken for Public Service" presented to Amelia Court under oath included:

     Executors of George Davenport, Decd.,
      assignees of Thomas Gunn,
     2 Beeves, 470 pounds of Meat, Sep1781, for Continental Use, £5/17/6

Source: Abercrombie and Slatten, Virginia Public Claims, Amelia County (Athens, Georgia: Iberian Publishing Co., no date), 15.

     This document is sufficient evidence to qualify all of George Davenport's descendants for membership in either the Daughter of the American Revolution or the Sons of the American Revolution, should they so desire. Thomas Gunn, assignee was the second husband of Sarah, widow of George Davenport, Sr., and filed the claim for the Estate, which was still open because one or two of the youngest children, both sons and heirs to the land, were not yet of age. The provisions impressed for the Continental Army came from the George Davenport Estate.7

Marriage Contract*1 December 1778 Amelia, VA, MARRIAGE AGREEMENT: Sarah Davenport and Thomas Gunn, both of Amelia County, planning to marry, in love and affection that said Gunn has for Sarah's children Sarah Davenport and Samuel Davenport and 5 shilling, gift of three Negroes from the Estate of George Davenport, Decd., father of children Sarah and Samuel, and all of personal estate of said Sarah... /s/ Sarah AX@ Davenport, Thomas Gunn. Wit: T.G. Peachy, W. Sam Peachy. (Amelia County, VA, Deeds, 16:50)

This was possibly a placating of the eldest son and eldest daughter of George Davenport, late of Amelia County, Decd., whose mother, George's widow, was getting remarried. Samuel, as an eldest son and heir-at-law was still empowered under Colonial Virginia Law to contest the disposition of land made by his deceased father.

Marriage Contract*1 December 1778 Amelia, VA, MARRIAGE AGREEMENT: Sarah Davenport and Thomas Gunn, both of Amelia County, planning to marry, in love and affection that said Gunn has for Sarah's children Sarah Davenport and Samuel Davenport and 5 shilling, gift of three Negroes from the Estate of George Davenport, Decd., father of children Sarah and Samuel, and all of personal estate of said Sarah... /s/ Sarah AX@ Davenport, Thomas Gunn. Wit: T.G. Peachy, W. Sam Peachy. (Amelia County, VA, Deeds, 16:50)

This was possibly a placating of the eldest son and eldest daughter of George Davenport, late of Amelia County, Decd., whose mother, George's widow, was getting remarried. Samuel, as an eldest son and heir-at-law was still empowered under Colonial Virginia Law to contest the disposition of land made by his deceased father.

Marriage Contract*March 1788 Amelia, VA, MARRIAGE BOND: Lewis Vaughan to Sally Davenport. Burwell Featherstone, security. (Amelia County, VA, Marriage Bonds)

Sally appears to have been Sarah, daughter of George Davenport, Decd., and his wife Sarah, being the same person to whom Thomas Gunn and Sarah Davenport Gunn gave the three slaves to in 1778. Sarah apparently did not move to Lincoln County, North Carolina, with brothers and the Featherstones, or she had come back to marry where she had grown up. Given the ten-year interval between Sarah receiving the slaves and her marriage, she may been a spinster of possibly age 30 or more when she wed.
