Thomas Davenport son of Martin Davenport and grandson of Davis Thomas Davenport and his wife Dorothy have two children Martin and Dorothy they both married Browning. Wonder if the Two Browning could be related I found Dorothy who said to have married John Browning and Martin wife was Jane Browning There are folks who as Jane name is Martha Jane Browning and this her father but I do not see a Martha or Jane or even a Davenport mention in his will. The John mention is said to Dorothy husband January Court 1787 WILL OF NICHOLAS BROWNING In the name of God Amen.
