Biography

David, son of Eliezer and Susanna (Hall) Stoddard, was born in Newton, Mass., Nov. 27, 1726.^[1] He came to Chesterfield, New Hampshire, about 1767, and settled on the farm lately owned by Truman A. Stoddard. He may have gone with his brothers to Windham County, Conn., before coming to Chesterfield. There is no trace of the family at Rutland, Worcester County, Mass., whence the Chesterfield history suggests they came. Phineas was at Woodstock for a time.

Sergeant David Stoddard served with New Hampshire Militia during the American Revolution.

David Stoddard is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A109690.

David was a soldier in the revolution, third sergeant in the summer of 1775, in Captain Jacob Hind's company, Colonel James Reid's regiment, and was paid four dollars for a coat. The Chesterfield historian states that he was in the battle of Bennington, and died on the way home from the army.^[2]

He may have volunteered in a company of which no payroll has been saved, of a company that asked no pay. (See New Hamp. State Papers, vol. xiv, pages 84 and 199).

He was selectman of Chesterfield in 1771-72.^[3]
