DAVID FAMILY BIBLE (As Annotated by David H. Robertson, January 4, 2019) [The bible was printed 1814 or sometime thereafter. The first round of entries ended in 1818 or 1819. My guess is that someone bought the bible shortly after 1819 and started making entries.] BIRTHS Henry David born Jan. 11, 1780 Pelinah David born June 29, 1776 H. F. David born Feb. 4, 1809 [End of first round of entries. Notice that only Henry F. David and his parents were entered. None of his siblings were entered] Nancy J. David born Aug 9, 1828 Mary A. P. David born Jan. 6, 1831 [End of second round of entries, including only the first two children of Henry F. David] James H. David born Aug. 17, ____ William David born Sept. 30, 1801 Milley W. David born Nov. __, 1803 Henry F. David born Sept. __, ____ Jonathan David born Mar. __, 18__ [End of third round of entries. Someone went back and started entering earlier births for siblings of Henry F. David, with a birth date for Henry F. David that conflicts with the first round of entries.] Henry David and Pelinah was married 10, Jan. 1804 [Some have questioned the year 1804 and substituted 1800 in lieu thereof. I submit Henry David was married twice and 1804 is correct. Please read on further.] Isaac David Senior born May 30, 1756 Isaac David Senior died April 17, 1840 [It is interesting that Isaac David, father of Pelinah was inserted here. They must have inserted his death date at a later date.] Milley married Feb. 26, 1798 [Notice that there is no last name here. I submit this is Henry David’s first wife and that her name was Milley White. I base this on the following facts: (1) there is no Milley David we know of that was b. or d. on that date; (2) there is no Milley David we know of that was m. on that date; (3) Henry David’s third child was named Mildred White David; and (4) first cousin marriages were common during that time frame in frontier families.] Henry F. David and Mary S. Crisler was married Sept. 7, 1826 [They were married in Jackson Co., Georgia.] Isaac M. David born 26 Aug. 1809 Polly L. David born 5 Jun. 1811 Nancy H. David born 6 Feb. 1813 Simeon David born 14 Sept. 1814 Pillina White David born 6 May 1818 Mary H. Sewell born 26 May 1839 (should this be 1829?) [Siblings of Henry F. David. I believe this completes all of his siblings.] Julia Ann F. David born 6 July 1832 Theodosia A. David born 26 Jan. 1834 Virginia J. David born 27 Aug. 1835 Henry David born 22 Apr. 1837 Lucy A. David born 28 Sept. 1838 Rose Anna C. David born 12 Jun. 1840 Lois David born 3 Jul. 1841 [More children of Henry F. David] DEATHS Jonathan David died 27 Aug. 1808 [sibling of Henry F. David] Milley W. David died 26 Sept. 1808 [sibling of Henry F. David] Simeon David died 23 Sep 1814 [sibling of Henry F. David] Pillina W. Sewell died 6 Jun. 1839 [sibling of Henry F. David] [After these first four deaths, the entries are not sequential, indicating that someone wrote these in the bible at a later date.] Henry David died 15 Jun. 1845 [who is this Henry?] Pilinah David died 10 or 6 Nov. 1857 [who is this Pelinah?] Henry David died 13 Feb. 1842 [Henry Page David, b. 1780] Roseanna C. David died 8 Jul. 1840 [dau. of Henry F. David] E. C. David died 5 Aug. 1863 [Elizabeth Carson David?, dau. of Henry F. David. The date of death conflicts with an un-sourced date of death in Family Tree.] |
