David lived on a part of his father's homestead, in Kittery (now Eliot), until about 1731. During a portion of that time he was a licensed retailer. From Kittery he moved to Scarborough and settled on a farm on Scottow's Hill. His house was a garrison and there it was that Nathaniel Dresser was killed by Indians. David shot the Indian that did the deed, and wounded him so severely that he died soon after. Both David and his wife were probably buried a few rods northeast of the house of Lemuel Libby. This spot for many years was the principal burying ground of the inhabitants of that locality. It is said that more than a hundred interments were made there but later it became covered by a dense growth of shrubs and underbrush and not more than three or four graves were discernible.
