  • Notes 
    • David's parents were on their way to Florida for her mother's health, when he was born in Georgia. His mother died shortly after. David's uncle, Jack McIntyre of Cumberland, North Carolina, went to Georgia and brought David and other members of the family back home with him.

      David lived with his uncle and when he was old enough, he began working in his uncle's store. He did not like the life of a clerk and so he left to join his father, who was a mechanic in business in the District of Marion (later Marion County) South Carolina. He made Marion his home for the rest of his life.

      David was married three times. His first wife was Mercy Mace, the sister of John Mace. They had one daughter before Mercy died.

      His second wife, Elizabeth, was the widow of Mr. Haseldon. She had six children when she married David.

      His third wife was Fanetta Ann White, the daughter of Stephen and Mary (Fore) White.

      David served in the Confederate Army during the U.S. Civil War as a Captain in Wilson's Squadron. He was disabled by the fall of his horse. Before the war he had held the rank of Major.

      David was of medium height and well proportioned. His complexion was ruddy and he had big expressive eyes.
