PAMUNKEY DAVENPORTS & OTHERS INTERESTED: Our enumeration of Pamunkey participation in Revolutionary campaigns, battles and skirmishes earlier this Fourth of July looked only North and South. My error for not also looking West, for we had Pamunkey Davenport participation in the Cherokee Campaign in the Carolina backcountry, and in a Western Battalion of Clark's Illinois Regiment. William Davenport, orphaned son of Stephen, served an enlistment in the 7th Virginia Regiment of Foot, Continental Line, was at Brandywine, Germantown, and Valley Forge. He completed his three-year enlistment, was honorably discharged, went back to Cumberland County, then reenlisted as a replacement for Clark's Illinois Regiment, headquartered at the Falls of the Ohio (now Louisville). Before William was marched to Ft. Wheeling for the boat trip down the Ohio, his Company was required to guard British prisoners at Charlottesville, then was rushed South for the Battle of Guilford Court House, whereafter the soldiers marched to Fort Wheeling, built the necessary boats or rafts, then floated down the Ohio to join Colonel George Rogers Clark. By the time the replacements arrived at the Illinois Regiment, the campaign on the Mississippi and Wabash was over. So technically William of Stephen served in the Northern Campaigns, the Southern Campaign, and the Western Campaign--was singular among the Pamunkeys in that regard. My apology, Billy Bob, for the oversight. Doc
