I have been banging my head against this brick wall for years. Who is the father of David McCollum, b. 12 Sep 1779 in South Carolina, d. 19 Oct 1875 in Linn County, Missouri? He married Rachel Morris, 1785 - 1864.

There have been many mistaken ideas put forth for David's father, due partly to the many Davids and Daniels in the family. Many think his father was Daniel, b. 1744 in New Jersey, or Daniel, b. 1760. A biography of David says that he was a blacksmith, like his father David before him.

I am wondering if David McCollum, Sr. b. 1750 in New Jersey, d. 1842 in Virginia, may be correct.

I would appreciate help in sorting out this mystery.
