Dear Fran, Hi. Read your note about Allen Davenport. He is the son of William Davenport of Lenoir County...not to be confused with William Davenport , brother of Jonas, who lived in Lenoir, N.C.(Caldwell County). Your William's will was recorded in Lenoir County and a copy is available through The Southern Historical Collection at U.N.C.. The source is The Herring Papers. Maybe Lenoir County has a copy of it , too. I have not looked there... I accidentally found that will when I was researching Colonel William Davenport of Caldwell County. Carol
