Abigail Davenport

"I told her that, as she no longer had a master, her freedom would begin by choosing a name for herself. She laughed – she has the most delightful laugh! – then she told me that her name was Abigail."

―Achilles reflecting on his first meeting with Abigail, 1744.

Abigail Davenport (1721 – 1754), born Angélique-Denise, was the wife of Master Assassin Achilles Davenport and the mother of their son, Connor Davenport.

Born a slave, Angélique-Denise was freed by the Assassin Achilles Davenport, and chose the name Abigail. Achilles soon fell in love with her and the pair married. Sometime after the French and Indian War had begun, she and her son Connor died of typhoid fever, and the pair were later buried on a hill next to the Davenport Homestead. Following this, Abigail was eventually joined in death by her husband in 1781.
