Whit: While James Pemberton appears in Campbell County records in 1795, a year before Wilson Davenport first appeared by qualifying to practice Law in Campbell County in Aug1796, he, as yet (into mid-1799), has not appeared in Court records. Once Wilson appeared, he's kept things stirred up in Court. First, he got into a fight in Court with another attorney, with the Court placing both under Peace Bonds. Then, later, he got fined $25 for Contempt of Court. Shortly thereafter, he created a disturbance in Court and was put under a Peace Bond for $1,000 (a huge penalty sum in those days), but his two securities were both magistrates who had sat on the Court that put him under bond--so he was regarded redeemable. Throughout all this, the Court appointed and reappointed him as a Commissioner for the Inspection of Tobacco Warehouses at Lynchburg. If Ann's Bible record is right, which we know it isn't, Wilson was not yet age 30 when all this was occurring. This was a guy I would have liked to known--nothing bland about Wilson, son of Henry and Ann. More anon. Doc
