DAVID L. CUNNINGHAM
Pvt., Co. B, Settle's Battalion
1st Texas Infantry Battalion
Texas State Troops
David L. Cunningham was born in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on the ninth day of February in 1822.
On August 17, 1861 David, 39, and brother John Cunningham, age 42, from Beat No. 3, enlisted as privates in the 9th Brigade, Texas Militia, in Lamar County, Texas. Similar to today's National Guard, the Texas Militia troops were organized for home guard and defense and were not allowed to leave the State.
In 1863 David enlisted in Co. B, Settle's Battalion (or 1st Texas Infantry Battalion, Texas State Troops.) Lt. Colonel Marcus G. Settle commanded the battalion and was assigned duty in the Northern Sub-District of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, Trans-Mississippi Department (October 1863 - January 1864.) There are no records of engagements of the battalion and these troops probably saw little or no action except guard and post duty in the Red River valley counties.
On June 15, 1908, David died in Emberson, Lamar County, Texas.
