David was the 6th child of 8 born to Ancil and Sarah Ann (Winterstein) Adams. On 19 December 1880 he married Sarah Elizabeth Rose. Together they had 11 children; Frank Marion, Charles Wesley, Clarence Richard, Mary Elizabeth, William Thomas, Lulla Anna, John Melvin, Hobart McKinley, George Dewey, Leona Mae and Ruth Hill. In the early part of 1899 David and his son William Thomas came to Oklahoma and filed on land located 2 and 1/2 miles south and 1/2 west of the present town of Sharon. They put in crop and built a sod shack, shipping in lumber for the doors and windows. The dirt floor was hardened by sprinkling water on it. In the fall of 1899 David and his son returned to Kirwin, Kansas, where the family had been living and brought them to Oklahoma, in 3 covered wagons. David and his sons built a two story house, which was completed in 1901. They also build a large red barn, a blacksmith shop, a silo and a long machine shed. They raised broomcorn and wheat. The whole family walked to church every Sunday. Back then church was held in the school house, 1/2 mile from their home. David passed while eating dinner 23 Aug 1916. He and Sara are both buried in the South Persimmon Cemetery, Sharon, OK.
