- "In 1903, he applied for a Confederate pension. He stated on the application that he had six children but none of them were able to help support him. He also stated that his wife was in bad health and was no longer able to take in laundry to help with their support. His attorney stated that David was in 'very bad condition' and any help would be thankfully received, but if David was not entitled to help, he didn't want it. The pension was denied because his Company was incorrectly stated on the application and officials were unable to verify his military service."
