He was just two years of age when his father marched off to war. He was engaged in some heavy fighting, was wounded, and discharged in Virginia.

David was six when the Civil War ended and his family settled in Grainger County. Here on the banks of the Clinch River where he reach adulthood.
On New Years day just before his 20th birthday he was killed by the kick of a horse.
