Son of Michael Stoker and Catherine Eller.∼David Stoker was born March 23, 1795 in what is today's Ashe County, North Carolina, the eldest son of Michael Stoker Sr. and Catherine Eller Stoker. In about 1814 David married Barbara Graybill, the daughter of John Peter Graybill and Christena Wampler. Barbara's brother, Michael S. Graybill Sr., had earlier married David's sister Mary "Polly" Stoker. David Stoker and Barbara Graybill Stoker relocated to Jackson County, Ohio with other family members not long after their marriage. David and Barbara had seven children, all of whom were born in Jackson County, Ohio. In 1833 the extended Stoker and Graybill families in Jackson County became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some three years later they migrated to Far West, Caldwell County, Missouri, joining together with the large concentration of Mormons there. After the extermination order by Missouri Gov. Boggs, the Mormons fled their homes and gathered in Illinois where Joseph Smith Jr. had established the city of Nauvoo on the Mississippi River. The Stokers and related families were forced to abandon their homes and farms and settled in Illinois. In 1844 Joseph Smith Jr. was murdered by a mob and the bulk of the Mormons later fled west under the leadership of Brigham Young. The Mormons crossed the state of Iowa and reached the Missouri River and established a large settlement they named Kanesville that later became known as Council Bluffs. David Stoker's eldest son, John Stoker, arrived in Salt Lake City in 1848. David and Barbara Stoker and the rest of their offspring remained in Council Bluffs with their Stoker and Graybill relatives. David died on May 27, 1852 of cholera contracted from passengers he and his brothers ferried across the Missouri River to Winter Quarters. Two nephews, Gabriel McNeil Stoker and David Nathan Stoker also died during this cholera epidemic. All three are buried in the Stoker - Graybill Cemetery. David was the first of the Stoker brothers to die. Soon thereafter Barbara Graybill Stoker and the other six children and grandchildren migrated west to Utah to join with John Stoker. It should be noted that David Stoker's sister Elizabeth Stoker Welker and her family all migrated to Utah also whereas most all of the other Stokers and Graybills remained in the Council Bluffs area and later affiliated with the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS.)
