Those with Terry-Davenport interests: One of the projects I am currently working on involves another Pamunkey Neck family that moved to Goochland, Cumberland, Amelia, Prince Edward, Halifax, and Pittsylvania counties--then South Carolina and Georgia. In pursuing that research, I have serendipitously extracted a considerable amount of both Pamunkey and Prince George Davenport data, and became thoroughly intrigued with the Terry family in Colonial Halifax and Pittsyvania counties. Inasmuch as I have Thomas Davenport, Sr., and his wife Grace Terry, among my ancestors, via their eldest son James Davenport of Halifax County, and James' daughter Rhoda who married William Boyd, I decided to do an intensive analysis of the Terrys. Fact: The story of the South of the James Pamunkey Davenports, excepting those of Glover and the Bedford County confusion, is best told within the Terry story. The Terrys were a vigorous, high profile frontier family, and where you find a South of the James Davenport in a historical context, there was one or more Terrys in association, leading the party or commanding the Company. The Davenports in Cumberland County began totally within a Terry-created settlement, and the Davenports took over the Terry interests when the Terrys moved south to high power and glory on the waters of Dan River and the Banister in present-day Halifax and Pittsylvania counties. There was apparently a schism of some sort between Thomas Davenport, Sr., and his eldest son James, for James did not live on the 200 acres in the Terry settlement of Goochland-Cumberland that Daniel Terry deeded him in 1740 (next to his father Thomas, Sr., and brothers Henry and Thomas, Jr.), but lived on a tract that Thomas Terry of Caroline (King William before 1728) had patented on the waters of Buffalo of the Appamattox in early 1740s. The land was in Amelia when patented, but in Prince Edward in 1755 when James Davenport and three slaves were listed as tithables in the district between Bush and Buffalo rivers. I am also intrigued by where Bedford Davenport, eldest son of James of Thomas, Sr., got his given name. Was he a namesake of the earlier Bedford Davenport, who along with Joseph Davenport, writing master at William & Mary and long time City Clerk of Williamsburg, transcribed Colonel Byrd's survey notes on establishing the Virginia-North Carolina, and was rewarded for doing so by the House of Burgesses? Or was he a namesake of a grandfather or an admired neighbor? Stephen Bedford, originally from Gloucester County, was the first Sheriff of Cumberland County, and had been an authority figure in Goochland County for a decade or more when Cumberland was erected out of Goochland below the James in 1748-49. Bedford of James was born in 1748. Subsequently, Stephen Bedford took up land on Little Roanoke and finished his days in what is now Charlotte County. I have found no record associations between James Davenport and Stephen Bedford, but I have not done a due diligence on either Lunenburg or Prince Edward counties. I would be interested in exchanging data and information relative to the Terrys or the family of James Davenport of Halifax County (d.1780), eldest son of Thomas, Sr., of Cumberland (d. 1775).
