David BROGDON was born before 1774. I think he is the son of John whose will was probated in Bertie Co. in 1795. This David married Susannah McHENRY in Bertie Co. on 13 December 1786. David died ca 1790-1800. Susannah died after 1830. Their son, Henry (1792-1837) married Naomi WARD. I think they had a daughter named Susannah. There were also two other daughters. All the daughters were born before the 1790 census. In 1790, this family was listed in the Halifax Dist. of Martin Co., NC. In 1800, Susannah, Sr. is listed in Martin Co. She is found there in 1820 and 1830 also. Some people have told me this is the David who married Mary Beck, but since Susannah is the head of the house in 1800, I have assumed he was dead by then. I guess there could have been a divorce, though. But, I'm not yet convinced this is the David who married Mary Beck. Susannah McHENRY is the daughter of George Augustus McHENRY and Pherebee BUTLER.
