land on Section 14 in Berien, North of Riggin Lake, but did not settle upon
it until two years later, working meanwhile for other settlers. In 1861
David moved to the farm now occupied by his widow. He died in 1873 aged
68. His father, Thomas came to Berien in 1834 with his family, and for a
year or two lived with his daughter wife of Hugh Marrs. He then settled
with his family upon Section 23, on Polagon Road. He remained there until
1861, and trading his farm for one in Cass County, moved to the latter
