The son of Capt Samuel Vinton and Elizabeth French of Braintree.
David Vinton was the 4th generation of Vintons in this country. The ancestor who came to America was John Vinton who came from France about 1640.
He seems to have been a very respectable and worthy man, but not a man of property, nor possessed of the capacity and energy of his brother John. He was received into the Third Church in Braintree, now First in Randolph, April 24, 1768. About 1780 he removed from Stoughton to Willington, in Connecticut, where he and his wife spent the evening of their days.
Most of their children also removed to that place and the vicinity. His wife's brother, Micaiah Dorman, and her sisters Sarah Peabody and Judith, likewise removed to Willington and Mansfield, an adjoining town.
