Davidson Bradfute Penn (1836 - 1902) was a Confederate officer in the American Civil War and a politician in Louisiana.[1][2] He was the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor in 1872, in an election racked by violence and corruption. He and his running mate, John McEnery, claimed victory and set up a "government" unrecognized by the federal government.[3]

Charles Conrad Jr. married his sister.[4]

A carte de visite photograph of him survives.[5]
