Many thanks for the comments of Pauline. It is in the best interest of all Newberry Davenport researchers that we help clear the confusion about James Davenport who married Elizabeth Gilliam. 1. He was just James, not James Madison. 99% of all babies named James Madison were born while President James Madison was in office. Actually James Davenport was born about the same time as James Madison and certainly would not have been named for him. Second, James had no brothers or sisters with two given names. Third, There was no custom in the colonies of giving two Christian names or given names at the time James Davenport was born. 2. The chances are good that James was born in the 1750's and not in 1742 as is commonly reported. Otherwise he would have been about 35 at the time of the birth of his first child. It has sometimes happened but hardly fits the norm. James' brother, Isaac Davenport, was born in 1752 as confirmed by his tombstone. I believe that Isaac was the firstborn and named for his grandfather, Isaac Davenport, d. 1749 in Granville Co., NC. I also believe James was likely the second son and born around 1754 in Granville County, NC. However, I am always willing to change my thinking if someone can present a primary document showing proof that James was born in 1742. Keep in mind that DAR records and LDS records are not primary records. 3. The proof has been found in the military records in London related to the American Revolution. Both Isaac (my ancestor) and James were Tories. And I am sure their allegiance at the time was based on conviction. Keep in mind that quite a number of Tories were recruited in the Little River section of Newberry County, SC and most of those were respected citizens in their community following the war, including Isaac and James.
