David Ring was born in 1693, the son of Jarvis Ring and Hannah Fowler.[1] He married (1) Sarah Osgood in 1716.[2] She passed away. He married (2) Anna (Pierpont) Gale in 1739. He married (3) Tirza (Sawyer) French in 1749.
He died in 1752 and may be buried in the Salisbury Plains Burying Ground, Salisbury, Massachusetts.[3]
Note
Regarding the birth place, note that Salisbury was originally in Norfolk County, but moved to Essex County in 1680.
David's birth is recorded in two places. As David (1) Salisbury, Norfolk, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America [4] and as Daniel (2) Salisbury, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America [5] Laurie Hughes (Snook-1459) determined that this profile was based on the mis-transcription of David Ring to Daniel Ring.

Ring-201 and Ring-189 appear to represent the same person because: Profile for Daniel Ring was based on an incorrect transcription. David Ring is the correct name and all of the info for that profile should be maintained.
Ken, I have searched the original records for Salisbury. All of the other children of Jarvis and Hannah are documented, but there is no Daniel born in or around 1700. There is only a David born in 1693. The record was mis-transcribed as a Daniel.

I find no connection to Jarvis and Hannah Ring for Daniel. However, he may be the Daniel who marries Elizabeth Brown in 1722.

In 1735 a group ofmen from around Amesbury MA petitioned the Governor of the Bay Colony to settle a township in New Hampshire -- designated Township One because it was the first English settlement west of the Merrimack/Penacook rivers. Thirty two men, including David Ring (b 1693, son of Jarvis of Witch Trial fame, and his brother Jarvis, b 1686, began this first wilderness township in 1735. David was part of a team sent out to survey 64 forty-acre plots in 1736; Jarvis was one of about six men who were hired to build required dwellings that were subsequently burned down in the French and Indian Wars.
The township pre-incorporation was called New Amesbury but following incorporation became Warner, NH.
I believe this is the "Daniel" you have here
