Details
Barnett Davenport was born in New Milford, Connecticut on October 25, 1760. He lived with his parents until he was age nine. He lived with a man named Nathan Hawley, whom he ran away from due to being allegedly abused at the age of 11. Hawley was supposed to teach him how to read, yet according to Davenport, there was no progress. He then began to steal for food. By age 12, he could not read. He was sent around to two more people, before stealing from the last one. He then lived with one Aaron Hitchcock, of whom he stole his horse. Hitchcock discovered this and threatened to punish him. Davenport then ran away after stealing some money and a silk handkerchief. By the age of 15, he had already been convicted of robbery and horse theft. In 1776, when he was 16, he joined the Continental Army under an alias. He was in Valley Forge and Monmouth, before deserting. In 1779, at the age of 19, he was poor and struggling to live. He took up his brother's name, Nicolas, and went to find work as a farm hand. He was hired by Caleb Mallory, a farmer who lived with his wife, children, and grandchildren on his estate. Mallory let Davenport stay at their house, gave him new clothes, and fed him.
