- Crotia Davenport (c1710? — aft1789) The wife of Charles Kennedy is though to have been an elder daughter, since they named a son, born about 1735, Davenport Kennedy. A purchase of land by Kennedy adjoining the Martin Davenport plantation in 1751 was witnessed by David, William, and John Davenport.[11] Another son, Patrick Kennedy, was arrested for attempting to murder Thomas Graves, either an uncle or cousin, and Martin Davenport Jr. stood his bond in Spotsylvania County. A daughter was named �Crosha� (Crotia?). Charles Kennedy owned land in Hanover, Louisa, and Spotsylvania counties. At the time of his death in 1784 he and his probable brother-in-law Richard Davenport owned all of the land that Martin Davenport, Sr., did not devise from his 1727 patent. Crotia was still alive as late as 1789, when her daughter Crotia was married in Louisa County.
Daughter [Claimed by some to have been Crotia or Crosha, who was Charles Kennedy's widow, but recent research indicates that Crotia was much too young to have been mother of Kennedy's eldest children], b. c1709?, King William County; m. Charles Kennedy, c1731, Hanover County; d. Before 1758, Louisa or Hanover. [More research needed on this family. Charles Kennedy first appeared in Louisa County records associated with Richard Davenport (A4) and William Davenport (A6) in 1745. When Henry Gambill, Sr., married to Mary Davenport (A1), moved to Culpeper County in 1752, he sold his Louisa County land, adjoining Martin Davenport's old plantation to Charles Kennedy, with William Davenport (A6), David Davenport (A10), and John Davenport (A7) witnessing the deed.] Children (Number, Order uncertain - some daughters possibly missing):
