David died in Staunton VA, the location of the largest Confederate General Hospital during the war. Most all of the wounded and sick CSA soldiers who died at this facility
were buried at Thornrose Cemetery, in Staunton VA. It is almost certain that David is among the many unknown soldiers buried at this cemetery.
Staunton VA avoided much of the battles itself, however, in early June 1862, it came under a major Union attack, though the Confederates were successful in repulsing this attack, many were killed and wounded, it is possible that David took part in this battle, as he died that same month in Staunton.
His death is recorded in a couple of books:
Union County Heritage SC 1981, Page 17.
Broken Fortunes 1995, Page 14.

"Where his remains still reposed
on lovely youth thou didst die
and now in distant land doth lie
but christ will come and
still proclaim Here is my saint,
I know their name."
