  • David was born in Scotland and crossed the Atlantic with his parents and a sister in 1850 on the ship Josiah Bradley. His mother (Elizabeth) died at St. Louis in August 1851. According to his sister's obituary she crossed the plains in 1850; but we cannot say for certain if she was with their father. Additional research is needed to determine the name of the pioneer company with which he traveled to Utah.

    The years of his birth and death are confirmed by the inscription on his gravestone.

Company Unknown (1852)
