David was born in 1783. He was the son of Benjamin Ruggles and Mary Smith. He married Mary Hutchinson in 1808. Their three known daughters, Mary Ann who married Seth Thomas, Sarah who married James Mather and Louisa who married Isreal Boyden, were born late in their marriage leading to a possibility of missing children or early deceased children. David passed away in Belchertown in 1863 at age 79.
