For Those Who Been Waiting with Bated Breath and Prepared Arguments: We have three wives, long unidentified, of prominent Pamunkeys of the Eighteenth Century that now appear to be identified within small ballpark parameters . The lengthy series of evidences, circumstances, and rationales appear in the "Further Chronicles of the Pamunkey Davenports." upcoming. For the nonce, we give you: 1. Catherine Evans, wife of James Davenport, Sr., of Halifax, eldest son of Thomas, Sr., of Cumberland, grandson of Davis of King William. Catherine was either the sister of Christian Evans, wife of Daniel Terry, or a niece. 2. Sarah Terry, first wife of Henry Davenport, Sr., whose second wife was Ann Pemberton. Sarah was likely the daughter of Daniel Terry and his wife Christian Evans, hence was a first cousin--or a daughter of James Terry, Sr., still a cousin but not so close.. 3. Eliza Glover, first wife of Richard Davenport, Sr., of Charlotte, son of John, Sr., grandson of Martin, Sr., of Hanover. Richard married Eliza in Buckingham County before the Revolution, obtained a considerable dowry which he converted into substantial wealth and social status in Charlotte County. We have not researched Sarah's Glover bonafides. Something to Chew On--There was a reason why the three sons of Thomas Davenport, Sr., namely James, Thomas, Jr., and Henry, who received 200 acres each from Daniel Terry in 1741, were also the only sons of Thomas, Sr., who or whose families followed Daniel Terry to Halifax County settlement.
