Robert de Davenport (1365-1436)Note 1: About the elder Robert DAVENPORT of BROMHALL, from George Ormerod, The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester, incorporated with a republication of King's Vale Royal and Leycester's Cheshire Antiquities (2nd ed., revised and enlarged by Thomas Helsby, Esq.: George Routledge and Sons, Ludgate Hill, London, 1882), vol. 3, p. 824:
"I. Robert de DAVENPORT, first in descent, and (of his name) second lord of Bromhale, is first mentioned (apparently after the death of his father), in a commission of arrest and array, January 24, 1403-04, for this Hundred (Macclesfield), which had been disquieted by false rumours, probably as to Owen Glendower, and the Welsh rebels. He next occurs in the account of Tiverton, 11. 12 Hen. IV in a recog. by Mathew del Mere, when the said Robert also entered into a similar recog. in £40 to John de HYNKELEY, to fulfil the covenants of a deed between him and HYNKELEY, (who was 2nd husband of his mother's mother, Margery de WETENHALE), touching a moiety of the lands held by HYNKELEY, by the courtesy of England, and which were of the inheritance of Alice, mother of this Robert, and of Elen, wife of the said Mathew del Mere. (Rec. Ro.) He also occurs in several feuds between 1429 and 1432. By Inq. p. m. 11, 12 Hen. VI, Margery de WETENHALE died, seized in fee of an 18th part of Wich Malbank barony, and burgages, salt-pits, lands, and rents therein, and in Derfold, Haslynton, Sydenhale, Copynhale, and Weston, (of the total. Val. of £16. 7s. 4d.); and it was also found that the same Margery married Geoffrey de BROMEHALE, and had issue Elen and Alice; that the said Margery after the death of the said Geoffrey, married John de HYNKELEY; and had issue John, who died; that the said John HYNKELEY, on the death of the said Margery, entered upon the premises, and held the same by the courtesy, with reversion to the said Elen (as daughter and one of the heirs of the said Margery), and Robert de DAVENPORT, son of Alice (another of the daughters and heirs of the said Margery); that the said John de HYNKELEY died on the Feast of the Purification of S. Mary last (1433); that the said Elen and Robert were next heirs of the said Margery; that the said Elen was 60 (sic) years of age and more, and the said Robert 40 (sic) years of age or more; and that Kath. Ales, and Cecily were daughters and next heirs of the said John de HYNKELEY, and respectively aged 30, 26, and 23 years or more. (Rec. Ro. 11, 12 Hen. VI m. 4d.) This is almost the only perfectly reliable evidence of the descents referred to (there being none among the Bramhall charters); and without it there would have been very considerable doubt as to the descent from the WETENHALEs of Geoffrey's daughters, and also upon other points. The ages of Elen and Robert, as given here, are seemingly short of several years, and form the only unsatisfactory part of the return.]
"Inq. p. m. 15 Hen VI. Robert de DAVENPORT held messuages and lands, 23s. rent, and the render of half a pound of pepper, and of half of two barbed arrows in Sydenhall, Wich Malbank, Haslington, Coule, and Whelocke, in joint feoffment with Joan his wife (of the feoffment of Hugh de Toft, chaplain) of the king as Earl of Chester in capite, val. per ann. x marks; he also held a xxth part of the barony of Wich Malbank, and lands in Withington; and held in demesne as of fee from Thomas de Stanley, Lord Stanley, and Sir Robert Booth, and William Chauntrell, esq. as of their barony [or literally, manor] of Dunham Massey, the manor of Bromhale by the service of one haubergeon fee [or, in other words, by the service of a fee called hauberion fee. for all services:] Val. XL marks. [Died on the Sunday next after the Feast of S. Martin in Winter last.] John de DAVENPORT, next of kin [or (with greater propriety) cousin] and [next] heir, [viz. son of Robert de DAVENPORT, son of the said Robert, and was aged 18 at the Feast of the Invention of the Holy Cross, last and was married by (his said grandfather) Robert de DAVENPORT, to Cicely, daughter of Laurence WARREN, knt.]"
Note 2: Joan ASHTON of ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, the wife of Robert DAVENPORT of BROMHALL, was the daughter of Sir John ASHTON of ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE (About 1340, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, England - 1403, Norham, Northumberland, England) and Anne STANDISH (About 1345, Standish-with-Langtree, Wigan, Lancashire, England - After 1376, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, England).
Sir John ASHTON of ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE is said to have been present, in 1370, at the siege of Noylon during the Hundred Years' War. He was, in 1386, a member of the retinue of John of GAUNT in Spain. In 1403, Sir John ASHTON of ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE was commissioned by Henry IV to muster forces against the Percys in their rebellion. He perished, in 1403, by drowning in a well at Norham.

Strange Tale of Two Roberts.The Davenport pedigree is confusing when you are seeking information later than about 1200. Now comes another strange turn in the sage.
It seems that Alice Bromhall of Bromhall and John Davenport of Wheltrough evidently sired two sons named "Robert" -and of course, this Robert figures into our lineage. Like some of the colonial families who had the misfortune of losing a child, they later named another child with the same given name. And across the sea in England we find a son with the same given name, being listed as the Elder and the Younger. I found no evidence of which was true, only the following :
George Ormerod in his book : The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester, incorporated with a republication of King's Vale Royal and Leycester's Cheshire Antiquities (2nd ed., revised and enlarged by Thomas Helsby, Esq.: George Routledge and Sons, Ludgate Hill, London, 1882), vol. 3, p. 827: "Robert de DAVENPORT married Eliz., daughter of Tho. de ATHIRTON of HALE, divorced 1442, living 1463-4."

Robert, his lands and his disputes.I have found alternate information on Robert's birth, is seems he could have been born about 1371 in Bromhall [or Bramhall], Stockport, County Cheshire, England. Not that it matters a great deal. Also found this from George Ormerod, The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester, incorporated with a republication of King's Vale Royal and Leycester's Cheshire Antiquities (2nd ed., revised and enlarged by Thomas Helsby, Esq.: George Routledge and Sons, Ludgate Hill, London, 1882), vol. 3, p. 824:
