[Note: (editorial): Torrey should never be used as a source. It is nothing more than a list of sources about a person and makes little judgement about the reliability of those sources. Listing Torrey as a source is leaving most of the job undone - surveying all the sources. The sources given for this entry have been added below, all happening to be available online, and as can be seen, the conclusion is based on 1 secondary sources saying "said to be Mary Newman", while not providing any evidence or giving any indication of who said it, while the 9 others give no maiden name, and several explicitly say unknown. A typical illustration of Torrey's unsuitability as a source, and hardly convincing as a genealogical argument.]

DAVENPORT, Thomas, gent. of Little Ilford, Essex, bachelor, 22, and Mary Newman, of same, spinster, 24, - at St. Faith, London. 22 July, 1639. B.
[Note: All appearances are that Thomas joined the church in 1640 with no sign of a wife, so probably a bachelor. Meanwhile his wife doesn't join until 1644 suggesting their marriage was not long before this. Further, they do not have any children, that are known of, until daughter Sarah is baptized Dec 1643. So this marriage in London before he came to Dorchester, in a place Thomas did not come from, 4 years before he has any known children, does not seem a likely match.]
