David was born about 1675. He passed away after October of 1746. There is no will extant, as it was probably recorded in New Kent. He patented and purchased land in Goochland, later deeding or willing it some of it to sons of his, including Obadiah. He resigned from the Vestry of St. Peter's parish on September 24, 1743, but he was last mentioned on October 11, 1746, being allowed 800 pounds of tobacco for the keeping of Margaret Grumbal.[1]
David and his brother-in-law Thomas Christian were mentioned in the suit filed by their wives' brother William New against his mother Mary and her husband Hugh Morris concerning the settlement of his father Edmund New's estate. David's testimony in the trial held at the May Court of 1729 for Goochland County is noted as material to the verdict:
"...we find by the evidence of David Pattison that the said Edmund New acknowledged his hand and seal to the bond specified etc. but without delivery..."[3]
