Ancestors

Biography

I am unable to locate either David or his wife, Elizabeth, in either the 1860 or 1870 census index and it's quite possible that both died as early as the 1850s. (Prickett-120, 7 September 2018.)

David Springer was born on 3 January 1785^[1] in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, the seventh of ten known children and the fourth of six sons of Levi and Sarah Shepherd Springer.

About 1835, when he was about fifty, he migrated to Iowa.^[2]

He died in or before 1889 in Iowa of unknown causes.

1850 census

David Springer appears in the 1850 United States Federal Census as a 65-year-old literate farmer with $50 in real property, living with his literate wife, Elizabeth, and two sons, the older of whom has $200 of real property.
