English immigrant who came to Lancaster County before 1667.

John Davenport was born in England before 1646 and arrived in Lancaster County, Virginia before 1667. On May 8th, 1667 the Lancaster County Order book states that John Davenport is discharged as constable and succeeded by Lawrence Mold. In July of 1670 John Davenport and Walter Herd were appointed as surveyors of the highway in Christchurch Parish to make a road from the church to the mill of Thomas Haynes.

John married Margaret Sydnor sometime before 1671. In June of 1671 John Davenport and his wife Margaret sold half of 580 acres in Old Rappahannock County to Richard Barber for 5,500 pounds of good tobacco in cask. The land was on the south side of the Rappahannock, three miles inland near Occupacy Creek. In 1678 John oversaw the appeasement of the estate of Anthony Garrett in Lancaster County.

John wrote his will on February 14th of 1684 and it was proven just a month later on March 15th. In his will he names his wife Margaret as executrix and sons; George, John, William, Fortunatus, to whom is willed all the land found at the head of Morattico Creek. John was able to write well enough to sign his will.

John Davenport is an ancestor of Mark Dameron through his son William and an ancestor of Maida George through his daughter Judith.
