There is no evidence he was born in Halifax County, NC. Census and registration only state "NC". He was alive in 1887, as was his wife, when they sold land in Southern California. There is no credible documentation of their exact birth or death dates; he was born 1797-1800 and she later. There is no legend about him moving west to trade with the Indians; it is very well documented his residency among the Cherokees and his move to Arkansas and later Texas and Tulare. There is no evidence he is buried at White River Cemetery. His son DeWitt was living there for a time, but it more likely that David and his wife died while living with one of their children either in Kern County or SLO or possibly Los Angeles."
