Son of Joseph Shatto and Mary Elizabeth Walker
Married Rebecca Belle Groff, widow of Joseph Henry Whilt, 28 October 1881 in Benton County, Minnesota
No Children
David died in Maywood Township.
David Shatto was born into one of the first Shatto families to move out of Perry County, Pennsylvania, and into Trumbull County, Ohio, in the 1810's. His father Joseph had three marriages and a total of 15 children. His last wife, Mary Walker and David's mother, was the daughter of his second wife and David was the fourth of ten children born to this union. David came from a branch of the Shattos who settled in new areas throughout the 19th century - pushing the frontier envelope.
David was one of five siblings - with brothers Simon, Frederick, Charles and sister Belinda with her husband Absalom Shull - who made their way to Minnesota Territory in the late 1840's into the 1860's. Brother Charles became a prominent implement and machinery dealer in Minneapolis and rancher in Mitchell, South Dakota - also the winner of a gunfight with a disgruntled ranch employee of a neighbor. Brother Fred became a prosperous grocer in Northfield, Minnesota, and was present during the James-Younger gang's famous Northfield Raid of 7 September 1876 - his store window the only family casualty of the street gunfight that broke out and shot two of the gang out of the saddle.
David was probably the first to reach Minnesota, found in the 1849 Saint-Croix, Washington County census. He was a farmer and is found living close to his sister Belinda and brother Simon's families in subsequent Dakota and Benton county census reports, primarily in Maywood Township, Benton County from 1875 onward. Whether or not they were affected by the 1862 Sioux Uprising is unknown.
David enlisted in Company F, Hatch's Minnesota Volunteer Cavalry and served from 19 August 1864 to 26 April 1866. His unit saw no action against the Confederacy. Hatch's Volunteer Cavalry was raised to serve in the Dakotas and keep peace on the frontier, particularly after the Sioux Uprising as regular army units were drawn off to the civil war theaters. Interestingly, his company commander, Edward Dampier, operated a hotel in Northfield, Minnesota, and his hotel figured in the battle with the James-Younger gang in which his brother Fred was also involved.
He was a bachelor most of his life, marrying late to Rebecca Groff Whilt, widow of Joseph Whilt.
David had a startling recurrence of what normally occurs in childhood as reported in the below newspaper article.
