Deodatus Woodbridge Davenport żył w latach 1798-1848 i miał sklep w New Haven w stanie Connecticut, który reklamował ten żeton. Z jego testamentu napisanego w 1846 roku wynika, że przekazał swój dom i działkę przy Chapel Street swojej żonie. Mieli jedną córkę, urodzoną po spisaniu testamentu. Po śmierci żony zapisał wszystko przytułkowi dla sierot w New Haven. Pocieszające jest to, że to, co zostało uzyskane ze zbytku jednego pokolenia.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Deodatus Woodbridge Davenport lived from 1798 to 1848 and had a store in New Haven, Connecticut which this token advertised. From his will written in 1846, he gave his house and lot in Chapel Street to his wife. They had one daughter, born after the will was written. Upon his wife’s death, he willed everything to the New Haven Orphan Asylum. It is a consolation to reflect that what has been obtained from the superfluity of one generation.
