James Davenport, son of Martin Davenport of Hanover Co., Va. married Frances Jouette and lived on the old Martin Davenport place in Hanover Co., Va. until about April 1791 when his son James Davenport, Jr. and wife Dicey conveyed to William Ashley of Spottsylvania Co. 150 of land in Hanover Co. for 170 pounds current Va. money.

This was described as being where James Davenport Sr. "now resides". It was bounded by Pamunkey River, James Davenport Sr.'s spring branch, Kennaday's line, and John Seay's line…Deed Book 1783-1792, Hanover Co. records, Va. State Library.
