Davenport ancestry of Kate Middleton

The great wargs, in his commentary on Kate Middleton's ancestry, says
the following:

In Hobbs (full citation below), on p. 13, F. M. Lupton cites a pamphlet
_William Davenport, of Reading, and his descendants_, by Rev. James
Davenport, which claims that this William Davenport of Reading (number
636, above) was the same person as the William Davenport born at
Worfield, Shropshire, on 24 Feb. 1679, a younger son of Henry Davenport
of Hollon, Shropshire, by his wife Elizabeth Talbot.

Rev. James Davenport appears to have written several different works on
William Davenport of Reading, as a correspondent refers to a
publication by Rev. James Davenport, Rector of Harvington in
Worcestershire, titled The Davenport Family of Reading and Welford on
Avon, and printed in 1923 (long after Hobbs was printed). About the
identification of William Davenport of Reading with the William
Davenport baptized at Worfield, the correspondent states that the
author "concludes that insufficient evidence exists to establish such a
connection beyond a reasonable doubt."

If this identification is correct (the IGI treats it as correct), then
Kate Middleton's ancestry can be extended as follows:
