He came from London as a servant in the family of Samuel Gunseld in 1637 at the age of 19. David's second wife was the widow of Ephraim Beers. He sold property in Norwalk, Fairfield County, Connecticut to the town on 3 Mar 1709/10. There are many land transfers from David to his sons and others in Norwalk from 1721 through his death. David's will dated 1 Mar 1731 and probated 20 Sep 1733 names his wife, Rebecca, son Amos "Monrow", Daughter Elizabeth Wood and her son David Wood, grandson David Monrow "son to my son in Law Joseph Monrow", Daughter Levina Morehouse, daughter Experience Norris, daughter Martha Beers ("her mother-in-law my wife"), daughter Bethiah Bagley, daughter Christian Sanders, granddaughter Mary Miller, land adjoining my son Solomon Monrow's land, grandson David son of my son Solomon Monrow, sons Solomon and Amos, Joseph Platt and Solomon Monrow, Executors He lived in Norwalk, Connecticut and Berkshire County, Massachusetts.
