Davenport, John (1597–1670), born in England, graduated from Oxford (1625), and came to America in 1637 with Theophilus Eaton because his nonconformist views had caused him to leave England and Holland. In 1638 he founded the colony at New Haven, becoming its pastor and most prominent leader next to Eaton. He wrote many devotional works, and a defense of theocracy.
A Discourse About Civil Government in a New Plantation Whose Design is Religion (1663), attributed on the title page to John Cotton. His
Letters were published in 1937.
