Jan,
I have not been to the site Familysearch.org. The only ones I did not have on the list you just posted are Sophia and Mary.I expect you are right with Sophia.Her Virginia death record may state who her parents are.I don't know about Mary.Did she die young?I will add Sophia and Mary to my database with the four I do have.
Here is what I have for the year of birth for all.I am inclined to go with the info I have on David, rather than what is on Familysearch.org.I have him documented as the son of Philip in the Estate Settlement of George Adam Bright, who died in 1804.
