• Notes

  David Stanwood appears to have led a relatively quiet life as a carpenter. We do find the Lincoln, Maine marriage to Caroline White, appearance in all censuses except 1860, a Civil War draft registration, and a land transaction. He also signed a 1844 petition along with other settlers of Woodville, Maine, requesting the State of Maine contribute to the funds required for road development, easing the taxation on the Woodville families. While the births of his eldest three siblings were recorded in the Bar Harbor town records, David's was not, and no birth record has been located. However, Benjamin and Betsy Stanwood were listed as his parents on the death register which recorded his death. David is buried in an unmarked grave in Northfield, Minnesota, leaving this world just as quietly as he lived.
