I have discovered yet another David Pennington, b. 1846 (just a year or so off from David, son of Charles in Micajah's line!). This David is the son of Nelson Pennington b. abt. 1798 in Montgomery County, NC and Rebecca Carter b. 1810 in same county. Nelson was the son of Kirchin Pennington. So again, here is a David who could be the father of my great-grandfather. I suspect this is a different line altogether. Would anyone know which of the 27 PRA family groups has research on Nelson and Kirchin? Appreciatively, Linda Koenig
