Husband of Lydia. Mr. Shipman was a soldier of the Revolution, a prosperous man, and died at the ripe old age of eighty-eight years. Husband of Lydia Combs of Newark, NJ.

born in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey March 3, 1752. David died January 23, 1840 in Smithfield, Madison County, New York at 87 years of age. He was interred January 1840 at Old Peterboro Cemetery, in Smithfield, Madison County, New York.

He married Lydia COMBS circa 1781 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. Lydia was born 1752 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. Lydia died May 21, 1835 in Smithfield, Madison County, New York at 82 years of age. She was interred May 1835 at Old Peterboro Cemetery, in Smithfield, Madison County, New York.

Between 1795 and 1798, David Shipman removed from New Jersey to the area of central New York State which would become Chenango County in 1798 and Madison County in 1806. He was among the first settlers in the town of Smithfield.

David Shipman was a Private in the Essex County, New Jersey Militia during the Revolutionary War. In a deposition dated 25 September 1832, Aaron Shipman, of Springfield, Essex County, NJ, states that David Shipman is his brother and attests to his Revolutionary War service. After the second return of his pension application papers, in August 1834, David appeared before a Justice of the Peace for Madison County, New York and made a supplementary deposition regarding his military service.

He was eventually awarded a pension of $20 per year beginning March 4, 1837 and ending with his death on January 3, 1840. Three daughters, Fanny Chaffee, Patty Munger, and Phebe Ames and a son, David Jr. survived him. In October 1851 a determination was made that Fanny Chaffee, Phebe Ames and David Shipman Jr. were his living heirs and they apparently collected the pension monies due their father.
