PAMUNKEY DAVENPORTS & OTHERS INTERESTED: Have any of you encountered in your research the Joseph Davenport who was on the WCV Personal Property Tax Lists (PPL), 1791-1802, and then, possibly, was the Joseph Davenport who was on the Buckingham PPL, 1803-05, seemingly sharing the assets of the Widow Davenport and the Henry Davenport Estate? The WCV Joseph appeared the same year that Mildred Davenport, eldest daughter of Henry Davenport, Sr., and Ann Pemberton married John Lee in WCV. If Ann's Bible is correct, Millie was age 18, making her a maiden and several hundred miles from home when she married in 1791. She would hardly have gone to WCV by herself, so the concurrent appearance of a Joseph Davenport on the WCV PPL with Millie's marriage year suggests commonality. Joseph appeared on the WCV PPL consistently, and when the identified sons of Julius and Julius himself arrived in WCV, they were all assessed either adjacent to or in the same neighborhood as Joseph. This nearness is deduced by the dates of assessments. When the assessor made his personal visits to inspect the assets of a tithable on the same day or next day, year-by-year, one can assume that the various Davenport tithables were living in close proximity, and if Joseph Davenport consistently appeared within such a cluster, as he did, a family relationship is suspected. The story line, based on the PPLs, is that the Buckingham Davenports joined Joseph in WCV, settled near him--history not encountered in any WCV Davenport narrative heretofore. Whether the Joseph taxed in Buckingham was the same Joseph who had spent the decade or so in WCV earlier, we know not, a West to East move goes against the grain, but the Buckingham Joseph appears to have been taxed for or shared the assets taxed as belonging to the Henry Davenport Estate, meaning the Widow Ann. (Ann possibly was difficult to work for, Henry Davenport, Jr., her stepson, apparently made two different passes at the job, but stayed no more than, or less than, two years each time. Ann was widowed for fifty years, so there was ample opportunity for all interested to have a turn at helping with the Henry Davenport Estate.) Thus far, we have encountered no unidentified Joseph Davenport among the Cumberland Davenports. Joseph, son of Thomas, Sr., hence an uncle to the children of Henry, Sr., and Julius, died in 1770-71, leaving no wife and no children. Joseph of WCV, if of the Thomas, Sr., line, would have had to have been a son of Julius, for Henry, Sr., already had two sons competing for birthdates in the 1770-71 or thereabouts time widow, namely Henry, Jr., by first wife Sarah Terry, and Wilson, by second wife Ann Pemberton. We surmise that a Joseph of Julius, if such existed, would have been born c1770-71, possibly a namesake for Julius' deceased brother Joseph, and would have been younger than Thomas of Julius, but older than Jonathan Noel and Julius Terry, the youngest sons of Julius and Mary. This is pure breadboarding--We're speculating a son lineup for Julius and Mary Noel Davenport as Claiborne, Osborne, Thomas, Joseph, Jonathan N., and Julius T. in that order. Any thoughts or data otherwise or corroborative? John Scott Davenport Holmdel, NJ
