Andrew McQuitty and Mary "Polly" Crump, the parents of David, are reported to have married June 13, 1799 in Jefferson County, Kentucky, according to the transcription of the document. So that might make David's birth year incorrect. There were multiple family members with the same names in the McQuitty family, so care must be taken when linking them up on findagrave. Oftentimes the birth years were estimated by the individuals in those times, which adds to the confusion. It was not uncommon to have individuals of two generations with the same names and approximate ages, with large families and babies born late in life.
On April 17, 1823 this David married Ellender Copher in Boone County, Missouri. She was the daughter of Jesse Copher and Elizabeth "Betsey" Boone Copher. Betsey was the daughter of George W Boone, Sr. and Nancy Ann Linville, making her a cousin of the famous Daniel Boone. David's wife Ellender was named for her mother's sister.
Children identified as being David and Ellender's were Andrew Jackson, Daniel Newton, Almarinda "Allie" (Berry Wilhite), Thomas Fielding, Sarah, George W, David R, Franklin, and possibly Nestor. Some sources say Franklin is the Columbus Franklin McQuitty of Jackson County, but on his death certificate the mother's name is wrong, so this needs clarified. There also may have been an Elizabeth (Thomas Long) and a Mary Elizabeth, but again, the connections to David and Ellender need to be clarified.
The young two year old Nester is seen on the 1850 census, when Andrew Jackson McQuitty and his wife and children lived with his parents, and the family is listed by age, not relationship, so he could prove to have been Andrew's, not David's, as James D did. He is not seen with either family afterward, so must have died.
