David was born on 6 Feb 1810 and baptised on 11 Feb 1810 in Douglas, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He was the son of John Clarkson and Elizabeth Gold.^[8]

David was living with his wife, Janet, five sons and a baby, Agnes Gold, at Cuilhill, Old Monkland in 1851. He was working as a coal miner at this time.^[9]

He passed away in 1876.^[10]

Research Notes

The 1851 Scotland census indicates that one of David's sons, John, was born in the USA about 1839. His other children were born in Lanarkshire. His wife, Janet, was born in Larbert, Stirlingshire about 1813. The baby in the household, Agnes Gold, is described as "found". She may have been the child of a relative, as Gold was the maiden name of David's mother.
