============

JAMES TAYLOR WHITE OF VIRGINIA, by Gifford White" James Taylor White" is first recorded in Orange County, Virginia when he and William White made bond for Rebecca Chissum to be administratrix of John Chissum, deceased. William White was a constable for Orange County in 1740. On January 23, 1745 James Taylor White was appointed one of the overseers of road gangs from Hazle Rivers upwards to the Great Mountains`. Culpeper County was formed from Orange County in 1748. The following year James Taylor White was paid 154 pounds of tobacco for attending court as a witness in Orange County for coming nine miles here from Culpeper County`. Two land records from Lord Fairfax are recorded on June 26, 1749 for 217 acres on Gourd Vine Fork and Hazel River. The second was on October 8, 1750 also on Gourd Vine Fork in the County of Culpeper. Indian trouble in western Virginia in the 1750`s caused many settlers to leave. This may be the reason James Taylor White moved to Craven County, South Carolina. Land records dated March 29, 1757 gives James Taylor White 300 acres in the Welch Tract, Craven County. Another record records 300 acres in Craven County dated November 8, 1757. November 18, 1761 James and his wife, Elizabeth Powe sold 200 acres to Malachi Saunders.From the Cashaway Baptist Church Record Book 1756-1778` at Furman University Library, Greenville, South Carolina: Sat 25 Oct 1760 . . . Mr. James White for excess drinking be suspended from this church until satisfaction be given . . . 20 June 1767 . . . on Cashaway Neck on Pee Dee in Craven County. The names of all the members . . . Elizabeth White . . . gone`
Prior to the Revolutionary War, trouble with the British caused many people to leave South Carolina. The White family moved to Burke County, North Carolina. All of the Whites appear on lists of witnesses against Tories in trials that were held in North Carolina about 1782."

These individuals then furnished all their own tools, wagons, and teams and were required to labour for six days each year on the roads.

Notes:

THE PAMUNKEY DAVENPORTS OF THE COLONIAL VIRGINA"( Hopkinsville, KY" The Pamunkey Davenports Family Association, 1998) page 14 Mary Davenport( A3e), was the daughter of Thomas Davenport(A3) and his wife Dorothy, surname unknown. Thomas, in turn, was the son of Martin and Davenport(A) and his wife Dorothy Golove. Martin, who die din Hanover County in 1735, was the eldest son of Davis Davenport of Pamunkey Necking King William County, Va. Dorothy, wife of Martin, lived for at least 45 years after his death, moved from Hanover to Cumberland County with her son David in the 1760's.

-------------------------
Thomas Davenport died in December of 1809, his obituary was published in the Raleigh paper and named Martin as his only son with six daughters. One daughter named was Sophia, wife of William White. By then his daughter, Mary, who was William Wiseman's wife, had died in 1796. His daughter, Dorothy, was married to John Browning, whose sister Jane was Martin?s second wife. It is believed one daughter was Rachel, wife of William Cole, mother of Alexander who moved with them and got land close by. One can only speculate why they moved up here, possibly his youngest daughter had met and married Samuel Bright, who had children under 16 on the 1800 census. That would explain why he shared his "homestead" land with people who were related to Thomas or one of his sons-in-lawa. Martin was also a hunter, guide and soldier.


It seems they, the Davenports, Brownings, Wisemans, Coles, Whites, and Jones, all left the John?s River area after Martin?s first wife Hannah died of smallpox and he remarried. Whether a Bright was married to a Davenport is unknown, but these people all knew old Thomas. His sister Dorothy Baker, mother of David, who Bakersville is named for, and Mary Gambill, mother of the Ashe, Wilkes and Watauga Gambills, came to North Carolina because of him. Samuel Bright had a brother William who came and settled near him in the Altapass area and seems to have stayed on. Samuel left before the 1810 census and sold his land to David Tate, who was very well known in Morganton. He was so well known that on the tax list of 1815, both William Wiseman and Martin Davenport's homes are listed as "by Tate's".

"The Star" newspaper in Raleigh, North Carolina.

"Communication"

"Died on the 10th of December. 1809, at the home of Martin Davenport in Burke County, Mr. Thomas Davenport, in the 98th year of his age. He injoyed his health until a short time before his death. Mr Davenport was remarkable for a chearful disposition and for benevolence of heart,;it is said he never was involved in a law suit but once, and then by being security for a debt, he was sued and compelled to pay the money. In the latter part of his life he appeared to injoy the comforts of religion in a high degree.
He raised six daughters and one son. His oldest daughter Sophia, the wife of William White,esq of the Mulberry in the county of Burks, hath at this time upwards of one hundred of posterity living; and it has been ascertained that from Thomas Davenport, counting him as the first, there are more than forty of his posterity now living of the 5th generation. Thomas Davenport's five younger children each raised large famillies, and it is computed that the posterity of of those five now living amount more then three hundred"

Thomas married Mrs. Dorothy (M.?) (..) Davenport in 1732 in Hanover Co, Virginia. Dorothy was born in 1712 in King William Co, Virginia; died before 1810 in Burke Co, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

I recently found a inheritance to James Taylor White from James Whyte in Culpeper Co., VA dated 1742. The file was found on a trip to the University of Virginia. So, it appears that James Whyte died in Culpeper County about that time. It is believed, but not verified. that James Whyte was born in Isle of Whyte County, Virginia and that his father arrived there from Glorchestershire, England.

THE DAVENPORTS (Deavenports)
Leased 100 acres of land in King William Co, VA in 1704.
Martin Davenport, Sr. (16__ - 1735), a landowner in Virginia, and his wife, Dorothy Harralson, had several children. They were: Martin, Jr., William, David, John, James, Mary, and maybe more since no daughters were listed in Martin, Sr.'s . Legal records can be found for this family in various Virginia Counties-Hanover, Louisa, King William, New Kent, and Spotsylvania. Either Martin Jr. or Sr. obtained a 400 acre land grant in Hanover County, Virginia on 7 Feb 1727.

Residence:
Martin Davenport was on the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls list for King William County, assessed for 100 acres

Residence:
On 8 Nov 1721, Martin Davenport Sr. lived at St. Margaret's Parish, King William County, VA. Fragments of a lease and release executed by Martin Davenport identify his residence as of 1721. (Source: John Scott Davenport, 'The Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles').

Other-Begin:
A survey of land at this time for one Captain Thomas Carr located that tract by reference to land of Martin Davenport along the North Anna River in Hanover County. That land wasn't patented to Davenport at the time but must have been surveyed and marked in order to be used as a benchmark for someone else's survey. (Source: John Scott Davenport's 'Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles').

Property:
On 7 Feb 1726/27, Martin Davenport Sr. lived at Hanover County, VA. Martin Davenport's patent for 400 acres along the south side of the North Anna River was issued. (Source: John Scott Davenport's 'Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles').

Will:
He left a will on 24 May 1735 at St. Martin's Parish, Hanover County, VA. Martin Davenport executed his will in Hanover County. (Source: John Scott Davenport's 'Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles') The will only named five sons and did not leave property to all of them (several were contingent beneficiaries only). This strongly suggests that other arrangements had been made during Martin's lifetime for other older children and the children benefiting from the will were only his youngest.

Martin, Sr.'s will was written on 24 May 1735 and proved on 2 October 1735 in Hanover County, Virginia. The provisions were:
I Martin Deavenport of Hanover Co., St. Martains Par. being very sick and weak in body but in perfect mind and memory do made this my Last will and Testament. I give my soul into the hands of God and my body I recommend to the Earth to be bud in a Christain like and Decent manner at the descretion of my Exors.: I give to my well beloved sons David Deavenport and James Deavenport 150 acres whereon I now live to be equally divided between them as follows: David Deavenport the plantation whereon I now live and 75 acres thereto joyning and remainder to my son James; in case my son, David dies without heir then his part to my son Martin Deavenport; if son James dies without heirs then his part to my son, John Deavenport; to my well-beloved son Wm. Deavenport 20 acres of land in King William Co., part of 100 acres left me by my Davis Deavenport and I do appoint my well belov'd wife, Dorothy Deavenport and my well belov'd son Wm.
