David was the son of Thompson & Sarah [Miles] Weddle. He spelled his last name differently, likely due to his illiterate conditon, as noted on his 1910 census statement. Furthermore, the birth-year indicated on the grave stone [1843] is inconsistent with his statement given on his 1910 census information [birth: 1844]. He is buried next to his wife [Rhoada Wall] and his son Mark Harmon Weddel. His oldest son Hiram F. and daughter Etta used the spelling "WEDDLE". The remaining children used the spelling "WEDDEL".

The link to Thompson & Sarah as the parents of David is not substantiated with direct evidence [i.e. birth certificate or census] but rather through the accumulation of matching information. Specifically:
1]Place-of-birth...the 1910 census and genealogical record match for both David and Thompson/Sara.
2]Common family names....David's son Mark Harmon matches Thompson's son's Harmon Hogan. David's son Millard Miles matches the maiden name of Thompson's wife Sara [Miles]. David's son Hiram matches Thompson's son Hiram.
3] Date-of-birth....the 1844 birth year matches the genealogical research documented in the 'THE WEDDLE BOOK' by Beth [Weddle] Mueting and the 1910 census information given directly from David.
4] The 1850 & 1860 census information concerning the household of Thompson and Sara, lists "David Weddle". Although, this connnection, alone does not provide conclusive linkage.
