The following records relate to William Davenport, son of Richard Davenport of Albemarle and William Davenport of Lincoln Co./Casey Co., Ky. whose wife is Comfort Fisher according to the Rev. War pension application filed by his son. Since the pension application was filed many years after the death of William and Comfort, I wonder if the son got the facts of location of birth incorrect, meaning Albemarle Co. rather than Accomack. It is common for members of the same family to migrate to the same area. I wonder if anyone has any records of William of Lincoln Co. that would prove his nativity as Accomack, other than the Rev. War pension application? Or any records that might prove he is the brother of Martin who was in the same area. Are there any additional records of William in Ky.?
