	Janet's Genealogy
		The descriptor "Pamunkey Davenports" (a term coined in January, 1998) is used to identify all those Davenports who trace back to Pamunkey Neck, Old King William County, Virginia, which in 1704 included present-day King William County, the southwestern fourth of Caroline County, and the most southern portion of Spotsylvania County.
		Pamunkey Davenports include all those descendants, by surname or corollary (daughter) lines, who trace back to Davis Davenport, who first appeared in the King William Quit Rents of 1704, either by proof (son Martin) or by circumstantial evidence (daughter Ann, son Thomas, son John, son Richard, and son Elias).
		For those unfamiliar with Virginia geography, Pamunkey Neck is that long finger of land running northwest to southeast between the Pamunkey-North Anna River and the Mattaponi River, ending at their confluence to form the York River.

		In contrast, the Pamunkey River is smaller in size and joins the Mattoponi River to form the York River, which flows parallel to the Rappahannock before it also flows into Chesapeake Bay.
		The Pamunkey River is located directly south of the Rappahannock River flowing through mostly forest and land used in agriculture, or for raising livestock.
		The lower sections of these rivers are sub-estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay and are represented by mesohaline-polyhaline waters and phytoplankton flora described by Marshall and Alden (1990), Marshall and Affronti (1992), and Marshall and Nesius (1993).

		From the confluence of the North Anna River and South Anna River downstream to below Hanovertown, the Pamunkey is a narrow steep banked meandering stream with no upstream tidal flow (continuous downstream flow as opposed to ebb and flood flow).
		Public access on the upper Pamunkey is limited to a few road crossings and a VDGIF maintained canoe/small boat launch at Route 301 north of Hanover.
		From the Route 360 crossing downstream to Putneys Mill, the Pamunkey is a fairly constricted tidal river with forested swamps adjacent to the main channel.

		The Pamunkey was declared impaired for low oxygen by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1999, just two weeks after the State Water Control Board granted Hanover a permit for the discharge.
		By July, 2002, 19 miles of the Pamunkey were said to be "tainted by fecal bacteria from unknown sources," according to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.
		County officials have already wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars over a four year period in their efforts to evade challenges to the SWCB permit and to hide the impacts the project will have on water quality.

	USGS, Chesapeake Bay: River Input Monitoring Program (general information)
		In the mid-1980's, the USGS Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring (RIM) Program was established to quantify loads and long-term trends in concentrations of nutrients and suspended material entering the tidal part of the Chesapeake Bay Basin from its nine major tributaries.
		These nine rivers account for approximately 93% of the streamflow entering Chesapeake Bay from the non-tidal part of its watershed.
		The concentration of nutrients and suspended material in a river is constantly changing.

	John Lederer
		Lederer's reference to marshy ground forcing him to detour is another piece of evidence that the initial definition of the two branches was downstream from the current definition of the start of the Pamunkey River.
		He guessed that the North American mountains would be similar to the Andes in South America, with long rivers stretching to the eastward but short streams falling quickly into the ocean on the west side.
		With surprising (but incorrect) insight, he thought the migration of the waterfowl from across the mountains to the rivers running into the Atlantic Ocean indicated that there were no equivalent rivers on the western slope.

		To accomplish this, shad spawning and larval nursery habitats were first delineated in the Mattaponi and Pamunkey rivers using presence of eggs and larvae (1997-1999) as evidence of habitat use.
		American shad eggs and larvae were more abundant on the Mattaponi River than the Pamunkey River, while the opposite pattern was apparent for striped bass eggs and larvae.

		He coolly appraised the rivers' fitness for navigation and easy food of fish or fowl, calculated the number of fighting men along the banks, and accurately mapped his route.
		Suspecting that the river water at Jamestown was unhealthy, he urged the summer dispersal to higher ground, but that was interpreted as weakening political cohesion.
