     Martha was born circa 1685 in West Farms, Westchester County, New York. Martha married William Davenport Jr. before 7 September 1707 in West Farms, Westchester County, New York. Martha was already married when her brother Thomas wrote his will on this date. It is possible that Samuel Davenport was a son. The names of his children given in his will appear to be Leggett names especially that of Gabriel.1 Martha departed this life before 1723 in Perth Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey.
