Biography

David was a Friend (Quaker)

David was born in say 1741 (estimate based on marriage date).[1]

He was received on request at the Oblong monthly meeting on 20d 3m 1766 [20 Mar 1766].[2]

He married Dinah Wing on 26 Mar 1767 in Quaker Hill, Dutchess, New York.[1] They had 4 children.[3]

No evidence has been found that he ever married Mary Yeomans.

Children

Children of David and Dinah Smith:
  • Comfort Smith, born 1d 6m 1768 [1 Jun 1768].[3]
  • Jonathan Smith, born 13d 4m 1772 [13 Apr 1772].[3]
  • David Smith, born 16d 12m 1773 16 Dec 1773].[3]
  • Israel Smith, 2d 12m 1775 [2 Dec 1775].[3]

Conflation with a Second David Smith

There was another David Smith who was received on request at the Oblong monthly meeting on 12d 1m 1784 [12 Jan 1784].[4] This was not the David, Sr. who is the topic of this article, because he was already received on request 18 years prior. This was also not his son David, Jr, because David, Jr. was a birthright member for having been raised in a Quaker household and had not yet reached the age of majority (he was 16 years old at the time).

It's this second David Smith who married Mary Suderick (Southwick?) on 26d 12m 1793 [26 Dec 1793].[5] The couple removed to the Butternuts monthly meeting and was received there on 30d 5m 1810 [30 May 1810].[6][7] The couple appears to have relocated to the Farmington monthly meeting where they had a son, also named David, on 16d 8m 1821 [16 Aug 1821].[8] Had this been the subject of this article, the subject would have been an estimated 80 years old at the time.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with David by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with David:
