Biography
The Clarks records David’s marriage to Lucinda Jane Clark on May 15, 1855, at Cassopolis, Michigan. It describes him as a cabinetmaker and stair builder and reports his death in September 1911. The source gives two incompatible birth reports, which are kept unresolved.

Siblings
No sibling connections are established by the current parent records.
Children
No children are currently linked in this archive. This is not evidence that there were no children.
These are the relationships currently documented in this archive, not necessarily a complete list of relatives. Provisional connections remain clearly marked.
What still needs checking
The same page reports 02/02/1832 at Sunbury, Pennsylvania, and an alternative 02/02/1830 at “Potts, Dam, Penn.” No exact birth date is adopted.
The book asserts a connection to John D. Rockefeller; no link to that family is proposed without further evidence.
