- [S769] Eleanor Berewster Davenport Grant, The Ancestry and descendants of John and Jane Ann (Lounsbery) Davenport, page 3 - Thomas Leggett, brother of Martha who married William Davenport Jr. and of Sarah and Elizabeth who married Thomas Davenport of Cold Spring, drew up his will at West Farms, Westchester County, on September 9, 1707. In this document he stated that his father Gabriel Leggett, was already dead. Is it not possible, then that Gabriel’s children were already provided for by their father and that this is where Thomas Davenport of Cold Spring procured the money with which he leased the Philipse land?
