In 1758, David’s brother Daniel Punderson, formerly of New Haven, died in Dutchess County, New York. Daniel’s wife Sarah was appointed administratrix of his estate, but since Daniel owned land and property in New Haven, David was asked to handle the sale of his property. In December of 1758, David Punderson offered for sale the farm of the late Daniel Punderson in Crum Elbow in a section of Dutchess County known as the Great Nine Partners. Further probate proceedings took place in 1761 in Connecticut with David as administrator.

In August of 1770, James Lockwood offered a reward for the recovery of his horse, which had been stolen from David Punderson’s pasture.
