Note: ; died, presumably, at Perth Amboy, N. J. (date and place of burial not found). She married, probably, at West Farms previous to 1707 to William Davenport, junior, born -------; died -------. (Nothing further has been discovered concerning her.) [handwritten annotation in her father's listing, (p. 27) by JML lists her dates as 1680-1723; Source?]
On the 30th of Sept., 1723, William Davenport of Perth Amboy, in East New Jersey, and Bridget, his wife, did convey all their right, title and interest in the Patent of West Farms unto William Leggett. From this it would appear that Martha had died between 1707, the date of her brother Thomas' will, and 1723, and that her husband had remarried. Another agreement, dated Oct. 10, 1723, is an "Indenture Tripantile" (the original is in the possession of Mr. Francis W. Leggett) between Gabriel Leggett, 2d, William Leggett and Abraham Lent, their signatures affixed, by which each has the right to fish, hunt, &c, within the Patent of West Farms, and by this instrument it appears that Elizabeth, widow of Gabriel1 Leggett, had the day before granted this right to Gabriel2, that only the day before Thomas Davenport and Sarah, his wife, had conveyed their same rights to Abraham Lent, and that William Davenport and his wife Bridget had on Sept. 30 conveyed the same to William Leggett (as stated above).
These deeds may be interpreted in several ways; it is possible that this William Davenport is the one who married Martha2 Leggett, with a second wife Bridget, as surmised above, and that Sarah, the wife of Thomas Davenport, may be Sarah2 Leggett, of whom we have no records, the two sisters having married brothers, or it is possible that this William and Thomas may have been the sons of William Davenport, junior, and Martha Leggett, or that the William named is William, junior, and Thomas, the son. (No further records of any of this family have been found, so that it will have to remain conjecture for the present, at least.)
