Davenport, John (1597-1670)

English-born American clergyman and colonist. He founded the New Haven Colony in 1638 and became its church pastor. However, theological differences forced him to leave for Boston in 1667 and he was briefly the pastor of the First Church there.

He was born in Coventry. His attraction to the Puritan faith led him to resign his post as an Anglican minister and he became a full dissenter by 1632. He emigrated to Boston in 1637 with his boyhood friend, Theophilus Eaton. His opposition to the Half-Way Covenant and the merging of New Haven into the Connecticut colony caused him to return to Boston.
