David Mouser was a farmer, land speculator and blacksmith who settled in Marion County Ohio as a young man. By his first wife Lucy (Thar, sometimes Thayer) he had a large family, however only the couple's daughters lived to maturity. Mouser raised his family at his home, which sat on the southwest corner of South Main Street and West Street (later Church Street) in the heart of Marion. This is now the site of Marion's Masonic Temple block. His land holdings reached as far west as Blaine Avenue south to the Green Camp Pike, now Bellfontaine Avenue. Mouser's grandson Perry Jones later developed Pearl, Cherry, Windsor, and portions of Blaine Avenue.
David married five times: 1 Lucy Thayer 1808-1863; 2 Elizabeth Mouser 1810-1872; 3 Elizabeth A. Rhodes, nee Crabb 1830-1880, and David shares the same marker in Marion cemetery with these three wives. Wife number four was Rachel Main(e), whom he married in 1880 and divorced in 1881. Wife number five, and David's last wife was Elizabeth Johnson Carpenter Jones Mouser. David and Lucy's daughter Louisa A. Mouser married Samuel Jones, and their burial lot is next to her parents. The Mouser's eldest daughter Abigail married Frederick Hinamon, and the Hinamon plot lies to the immediate south of the Mouser plot. Also buried proximate to the Mouser plot is Mary Catherine "Cass" Mouser Martin's grave (the mouser's daughter and son in law). David's daughters Louisa Jones, and Ella Hudson are buried nearby.
