It should be noted that GFA's description of David confuses this David-III with his first cousin, the David-III who was a son of Samuel. Comments on a first marriage (to a wife whom GFA did not identify but whom other family listings frequently give as Sarah Brooks), and the listing of a son, William Gentry, by this first wife all arise from the failure of Richard Gentry and other family historians to realize that there were two separate third-generation Davids living briefly in Louisa County until 1748.
