Biographical History
Clergyman.
Born in 1716 in Stamford, Conn., and a 1732 graduate of Yale College, James Davenport was licensed to preach in 1735. Under the influence of George Whitfield, Davenport became an itinerant preacher who, during the second Great Awakening, conducted revivals in Connecticut and denounced the church establishment. In 1744, after a long illness and at the urging of friends, Davenport published a retraction of his separatist views. Davenport later served at various churches in New Brunswick, New York, and New Jersey, where he died in 1757.
