David and Mary have added two more children; a son and daughter age 5-9. They moved to North Carolina about 1825. All of their children appear to have been born in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.
David has not been located on the 1840 census; wife Mary is found on the 1850 census with daughter, Talitha, in Haywood County. Note: Jackson County, North Carolina was formed from parts of Haywood and Macon Counties in 1851.
Census: 1850 Federal

The widowed Mary and her daughter Talitha are living in the household with Joseph and Nancy Messer and their children. I do not know of any relationship between them or why Mary would be in this household.

Mary was born in 1778. She passed away in 1859.
