May be another son named John Davenport too. Elizabeth could be Joseph Devenport's mother or the "four brothers" grandmother.

JSDavenport's James River Davenports Search:

Same deed from "Ledbetters from Virginia", pg 37-38
"...On 3 Feb 1787 Joseph, Junior, sold a slave to Daniel Davenport "now in possession of said Daniel and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of said Ledbetter," Prince George Deed Book 1, p.164.

Joseph m. about 1765 Mary, d 1808, dau of John Lanthrop and wife Rebecca. They had Elizabeth, m before 1787 Daniel Davenport...."

Some coincidences suggest they may be James River Davenports:
1) marriage of Daniel Davenport and Elizabeth Ledbetter before 1787 in Prince George County, VA, or,
2) Elisha Davenport of Patrick Co, VA - http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/davenport/2008-09/1220816083
3) Joseph Davenport and Judith Richardson are included in the JSDavenport's James River Chronicles "Prince George Marriages". Richardsons were neighbors and intermarried with Davenports in Jackson County.
