Four more sons were born while living at Kerrville, Texas: Albert Lawson, Henry Milton, George Washington, and Jacob David. October 25, 1879 just three days after Jacob was born their mother Finetti Jane Lowrance died leaving behind 5 young sons. Finetti is buried in Starkey Cemetery, Kerrville, Texas.
In 1882 David's father Jacob Lowrance died and David returned to Tennessee taking his children and several horses. In Tennessee he met Isabelle Tedford. They were married on March 7, 1885. After several years they moved back to Kerrville, Texas. In 1900 David Marion moved to Oklahoma Indian Territory along with his 5 sons and there he filed a land claim. He built a home before Christmas 1900 and farmed until his death. David Marion died March 23, 1914 and is buried at Spring Creek Cemetery, Greer County, Oklahoma next to Isabelle.
