Biography

David Lato was born 02 October 1832 at Wemyss, Fife, Scotland. He is the son of James Latto and Janet Barker. He was Christened 04 November 1832.^[1]

The following is from History of Newbury, Vermont:

Alexander Barker, James Latto, William Chalmers and Alexander Laing their families left Leven, Scotland, in March 1834, on the ship "Cyrus of Dundee." They sailed around the north of Scotland, after being by storms at the mouth of the Moray Frith. After a rough voyage of weeks, in which they saw no sail, they reached the mouth of the St. Lawrence, where they were detained a week by floating ice, and finally reached Montreal. They came by steamboat and canal to Burlington, thence by teams to Newbury, where all their families settled. They were hospitably entertained by Capt. Samuel Gibson, and others of their countrymen, till they could make homes for themselves and clear land. Nearly all of their company have passed away, and the few survivors have collected such memorials as remain. All were Presbyterians..^[2]

William (Chalmers), with his wife and five c., and Alexander Barker and family, came to America in the ship "Cyrus of Glasgow," 1834. They came via Montreal to Burlington, thence to Newbury in June and three years later settled on what was then called the Benjamin Leet place, where William and Henry, their sons now live and there spent the remainder of their industrious lives.^[3]

On 9 June 1854 at the Caledonia Co., Court at St. Johnsbury, Vermont he became a Naturalized Citizen. He was living at Ryegate, Vt. at the time.^[4]

He was united in marriage 28 August 1861 at Dodgeville, Iowa County, Wisconsin to Nancy E. Wilson daughter of Thompson Wigginton and Mary Ann Wigginton^[5]
