Thomas Davenport, of Dorchester

According to NEHGR:

"Thomas Davenport of Dorchester, first appears on any of its records as member of its church, Nov. 20, 1640; his wife Mary joining March 8, 1644." "He was made a freeman, May 18, 1642, and constable 1670. He probably lived on the eastern slope of Mt. Bowdoin, near the corner of Bowdoin Street and Union Ave. He bought house and lands of William Pigrom, Nov. 25, 1653, and of William Blake, Feb. 5, 1665. He made his will, July 24, 1683, 'being aged,' leaving the homestead to his youngest son John, after his widow's death." "His inventory amounted to £332 16 8."
