He had married, July 10, 1799, Elizabeth Ott Durell, who was born November 27, 1783, the daughter of James Durell, one of the leading citizens of Petersburg. The owner at one time of Durell's tavern, a well-known early hotel, James Durell was in 1820 one of the directors of the Petersburg branch of the Bank of Virginia. David was a breeder of Thoroughbreds, one of them being noted by Patrick Edgar. This was a grey mare, "Betsey Palafox," sired by "Palafox"; her dam, "Betsy Mufti."
