From http://ancestoryarchives.blogspot.com/2013/11/davenport-family-tave...

Mr. Drake says that James Davenport (1727) kept the King's Head Tavern in 1755, and his widow in 1758.


  • He certainly kept a public-house in 1757, for we learn from the selectmen's minutes, under date of Dec. 5, 1757, that Robert Stone, innholder, upon whom five British soldiers had been "quartered and billeted," complained to the selectmen that he had more than his share; whereupon the selectmen "removed, from his house to James Davenports [1727] at North End," three men.
