Notes: Ken Parish gives a 1722 birth date for this David and his wife as Hannah Davis, b. 1724. If these dates are correct they couldn't be the parents of Mary Bowen who has a birth date around 1720. However, I have seen one of his siblings birth dates at 1703, so it is possible that he was born early enough to be the father of Mary Bowen after all.
