This post describes the chronological events of David Godwin, son of Jonathan Godwin of Sampson County, North Carolina. David was born about 1828 and died between 1860 and 1865.
1850
David Godwin was first found in the household of Jonathan and Mary Godwin in the Northern District of Sampson County, North Carolina in 1850:
1850 Northern District, Sampson Co. NC
Jonathan Godwin head, 70 yo (b. abt 1780), Farmer, NC
Mary Godwin, 63 yo (b. abt 1787), NC
Mary Godwin, 26 yo (b. abt 1824), NC
Eliza Godwin, 25 yo (b. abt 1825), NC
David Godwin, 22 yo (b. abt 1828), NC
M432-644, p. 404
Same page as Enoch Godwin
1854
David Godwin was a co-administrator with Enoch Godwin of the estate of Jonathan Godwin, Sampson County, North Carolina, Dec 1854. (Earlier estate sale by David Godwin, July 20, 1854).
Note: From the 1850 census reports, it looks as if David Godwin was the son of Jonathan Godwin because he was enumerated in Jonathan’s household. David and Enoch were enumerated on the same page and about the same age – David was 22 and Enoch was 24 years old, so it is probable that these two men were brothers and both sons of Jonathan Godwin.
1856
David Godwin paid $439.44 to the estate of Nathan Godwin, Sampson County, North Carolina, November 18, 1856. Patrick Murphey was the administrator. Enoch Godwin also had to pay $175 to the estate.
Note: This could have been David Godwin (born before 1800), son of Nathan Godwin (died 1821); however because he is listed along with Enoch Godwin, I believe this to be David Godwin, son of Jonathan and Mary.
1858
David Godwin married Susan Unknown between 1850 and 1858 (estimated by the birth of his first daughter Mary).
