  • Sir Thomas Davenport, of Davenport, knight, son of Roger, and grandson of Vivian de Davenport, married for his first wife, Agnes, daughter of Thomas de Macclesfield, in 1287. She was the mother of his issue. His second wife was Roesia, daughter of Ralph de Vernon, and widow of Sir William de Brereton.
  • In 1309, he grants a lease of the office of sergeancy for two years to his son Thomas, and his pledges for two years, at an annual rent of sixteen marks of silver.
  • This Thomas, second son of Sir Thomas, was male ancestor of the Davenports of Whetrough, Bromhall, Henbury, Coventiy, and Woodford (now of Capesthorne).*
  • Sir John Davenport, knight, eldest son and heir of Sir Thomas, married his father's step-daughter, Margery, daughter of Sir William Brereton, by Roesia Vernon ; to his second wife he had Agnes de Bradford.

  • The first of these marriages took place in 1301, when "Thomas, son of Roger de Davenport," grants to Sir William Brereton, knight, the marriage of his eldest son John, (to marry him to Margery, daughter of the said William,) for 60 marks. Witnesses, Hugh Massey, Ralph Vernon, Hugh de Venables, knights, &c.; dated at Brereton. Harl. MSS. 2074 : 148. Four years after this, a sentence was procured from the Court of Chester, declaring the marriage null, having been celebrated without the consent of the parties, both being under age. The pedigrees, however, make Margery Brereton the mother of Sir John's children, which must of course suppose them to have been re-united ; which fact seems further proved by a settlement, in 12th year of Edward II., (1319,) when Thomas de Davenport obtained from Richard, Chaplain, of Prestbury, the manors of Davenport and Marton, remainder to John his son and Margery his wife ; remainder to the heirs of Thomas.
  • The issue of Sir John were as follows : 1st, Thomas ; 2d, John, who became rector of the Church in Swettenham, (a village on the side of the Dane, opposite to Davenport,) in 1335, of which Church his father and several of the

    • f Sir John's daughters were Margaret, who married Sir John Hyde, son of Robert Hyde, Lord of Norbury, and Isabella, who married Robert Eaton, baron of Stockport, and re-married to John de Stafford. __________________________
